Find a balance for all aspects of your life, and recognize when to shift that balance. The first few days of being a parent you'll focus on your newborn and the mother, as you should. But as the pressure decreases, find moments of self

That's amazing and inspiring. I had thought about making a 5/3/1 app when I got into powerlifting but thought to myself "nah, no one would pay for it and there're so many apps out there already". The inspiratio

For startups it's a matter of rapidly developing an MVP to validate your business and iterating quickly. Developer salaries are way higher than CPU and server costs. Productivity wins out here vs. performance.

I really like how the book's website is structured. Does anyone know what app they used to create the handbook?

Yes, MDMA doesn't break down into methamphetamine. They are different drugs with different metabolites and metabolic pathways. MDMA breaks down into MDA, HMMA, HMA, DHA, MDP2P, MDOH. Not sure why you have to insult someone in this disc

US drug scheduling is incredibly political and does not reflect how harmful a drug is. As an example, cocaine is a schedule 2 drug but magic mushrooms, which has the lowest potential for harm (even lower than caffeine), is a schedule 1 drug

I developed my social skills in a similar fashion. I was incredibly closed off as a teenager and shy. Almost to the point of crippling social anxiety. I remember feeling anxiety even interacting with the cashier at McDonald's. I was 19

Do a 24 hour fast (or longer if you can) to feel the sensation of hunger, and train yourself to understand that "it's okay to feel hungry" and that you don't need to always have your stomach filled with food. I started l

This comment bothered me for a few reasons: 1. Masterclass is $20/month. The "masses" can absolutely afford it. It's not really a barrier for entry. 2. There's tons of free lecture content already. Khan Academy is

I love this answer, because it is such a "duh" answer but also so non-obvious (at least for me). We're taught so much about the mechanics and details about mathematics in school, that I've never taken a step back to unde

Magic mushrooms are now entering in the "gray zone" of legality in Canada. They are illegal, but there are online mushroom dispensaries in Canada that are blatantly selling them online as law enforcement is turning a blind eye to

I never understood why people go cold-turkey to get off of the coffee addiction. Simply drink less coffee and gradually lower your intake. You can avoid the absolute misery of the withdrawal symptoms this way. Drink half your intake for a f

It doesn't sound like he has "intellectual loneliness". Instead, it sounds like he's unopen to the ideas or interests of others and has a very narrow set of interests. It is both possible to be a great intellectual AND h

Huberman Labs podcast is exceptional. So many episodes are great on their own. But the one on how to optimize your health condenses a lot of the protocols: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7yCNZihpjlmyNLI93SjmO0?si=8...

Additionally, the demographics of South Africa are different too. The median age is significantly lower than most Western countries.

Perhaps this is the why so many of the 60's and 70's psychedelic rock songs are so enchanting and beautiful. They were under the influence of psychedelic drugs which may induce this state while awake.

My understanding is that if you are a saver and own assets, hopefully assets that grow with inflation, you actually "benefit". For example, the incredible rise in stock market prices isn't necessarily related to increased wea

I don't think that applies to just the military. If you actively disobey your boss' direction and do something completely opposite, I'm sure you'd be dismissed or punished for that too.

I don't think effective leadership requires that you be highly respected for your technical skills. Leadership requires that you're at least competent in technical understanding, but also competent across multiple domains too. Th

It would not be murder to travel back in time and kill two cells that had the potential of becoming "me". I don't believe in some meta-physical soul or essence, so there is no "me" in the two cells. I exist today a

Java is the mini-van of programming languages. It's not fast, not specialized, but is completely adequate for almost all use cases. A mini-van is incredibly boring, but that's also it's best selling point.

One aspect of bootstrapping I imagine is the "fail-fast" principle. If you can't compete while spending less than your revenue you should take it as a sign that your current business is not "boot-strappable". Doesn&

I often wean myself off of coffee so that my sensitivity to it returns. One tip for those trying to reduce or stop their coffee in-take: you don't have to go cold turkey. Just gradually reduce. I'm always surprised at the amount o

"The mushrooms’ enzymes re-manufactured the hydrocarbons into carbohydrates, fungal sugars," I wonder if the process would be similar for plastics. If so, it could then be used as feed. I don't see any information, but the fu

This matches my anecdotal experience. I was extremely reserved and had a high amount of social anxiety. It hindered my ability to do common day tasks. Even ordering fast food caused a bit of anxiety as I would have to interact with the cash
