The most fucked up thing about American food is that you have to be a paranoid lunatic just to feed yourself something that won't kill you in 30 years. You're paying $400 a month at Whole Foods to avoid $200,000 in medical bills the food industry will hand you at 60. The default snack is a chemical no European country lets in. The default cooking oil was invented in 1911 in a soap factory by Procter and Gamble. The default protein bar is sugar wrapped in marketing. The default "healthy" yogurt has more sugar than ice cream. The default breakfast cereal was invented by a guy who wanted to make people less horny. That's not a joke btw. John Harvey Kellogg literally believed corn flakes would reduce masturbation. The cereal aisle is downstream of his crusade. You have to FIGHT to find real bread. FIGHT to find a chicken that wasn't raised in a steroid bath. FIGHT to find olive oil that hasn't been cut with canola in a warehouse in Spain. FIGHT to find a restaurant that doesn't cook everything in soybean oil. FIGHT to read every label like it's evidence at a murder trial. Your great-grandfather ate what was on his farm and he lived to 89. You eat 87 ingredients you can't pronounce per meal and you'll be on a statin at 52. Somehow this is "progress." The American food industry is a $1.5 trillion machine and the medical industry is a $4.5 trillion machine. Different shareholders, same business model: make you sick, then sell you the management. Doritos in your kid's lunchbox. Lipitor in his lunchbox 30 years later. Same parent companies sometimes. PepsiCo owns Quaker. Quaker pushed oatmeal as "heart healthy" while loading it with sugar. Mondelez owns Cadbury, Oreo, Ritz, Triscuit, Wheat Thins. Kraft Heinz owns Kraft Mac and Cheese, Velveeta, Capri Sun, Lunchables. The 7 companies that make 87% of what's on a typical American grocery shelf all have pharma stock holdings 2 to 3 layers deep. The grocery walkthrough that actually keeps you alive: > Outer aisles only. Produce, meat, dairy, eggs. Inner aisles are 90% chemistry experiments. > Meat: pasture-raised, grass-fed, no antibiotics. Costco has decent options. Local farmers are better. Skip "natural" labels (means nothing). > Eggs: pasture-raised, NOT cage-free (means nothing), NOT free-range (means almost nothing). Vital Farms is the easiest find. > Butter: Kerrygold or any grass-fed brand. The yellow color is beta-carotene from grass. Pale butter = grain fed. > Olive oil: California Olive Ranch, Kirkland's California, or single-estate Italian. Most "Italian" olive oil at Costco is Spanish-Tunisian blends cut with sunflower oil. Litigation pending. > Bread: sourdough from a local bakery or Ezekiel-style sprouted. Avoid anything with "vegetable oil" or "soybean oil" in the ingredients. What to delete from the cart entirely: > Anything in a bag that didn't exist in 1950 (chips, crackers, cereal in a box, pre-mixed dressings) > Vegetable oil, canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower > Anything with HFCS, "natural flavors," carrageenan, soy lecithin, BHT, BHA > Sweetened yogurt (buy plain, sweeten with honey or fruit) > Pre-packaged "healthy" snacks (granola bars, RX bars, protein cookies) The 4-step kitchen audit that actually works: > Cook 6 nights a week. No restaurants on weeknights. The exposure compounds when families eat out 4 times a week. > Buy meat from one farmer for the year. Costs the same per pound, eat better cuts. > Eggs and rice are superfoods. Stop chasing trendy ones. The basics still print. > Skip protein bars. A boiled egg an apple beats every $4 bar on the shelf and costs $0.80. The system is engineered to keep you a customer. Opt out.

Here is a non-comprehensive list of ways to position yourself for success in a world of artificial intelligence - being in top physical shape - start reading a lot more.. thinking 75% fiction 25% non-fiction… With most of that non-fiction being autobiographies or biographies - create more stories… This means putting yourself outside your comfort zone as a normal mode of operations.. this can include saying hello to strangers and email people randomly - learn a musical instrument like guitar or piano - spend time in the woods, hiking, etc. - put yourself in water more often

spend any amount of time in rural Latin America or SEA and you'll leave feeling this way

Last week I visited four national parks and several national forests. I left with three major conclusions: 1) Our National Park Rangers are Chick-fil-a level quality. I never met one who was anything but go-out-of-their-way helpful even on the most mundane topic. 2) Our National Parks are an absolute treasure. You don't need to go out of the country, America contains a million different worthwhile sights to see. 3) National Parks should be free for US Citizens. The "America the Beautiful" pass is $80 for a year of entry into any National Park. Easy decision, but I would take it a step further. National Parks should be free for US Citizens and $1,000 for a one week pass otherwise. Build American pride and generate revenue. National Parks feel like the one thing the government has consistently gotten right.

if i only had 25k and i needed to turn it into 1mil by the end of the year, i would invest it all in compute

*in line at Thai restaurant* *couple in front of me*: so we've never been here before and we need to avoid dairy, meat, peanuts, and everything spicy

Opus 4.7 is what opus 4.6 was 1 month ago before they degraded its performance in anticipation of the opus 4.7 launch

Reminded that most people want to see you do well, but not better than them. Lots of greed and envy in this world. It's best to celebrate your successes quietly and keep your wealth private. Status is for suckers

some people are so good at talking out of their ass about things they don't understand yet are perceived as a genius by the person/community/audience they're talking to i need to get better at this

You can just operate entirely off of your own intuition and be perfectly fine in life without over analyzing every decision you need to make in order to achieve the most optimized path towards your end goal. We are all primates on a floating rock who aren't designed to be optimized. The beauty in nature and humanity is in the entropy. You can just chill and make a bag simply by waking up and doing the things you need to do that day.
