The most scary things are those which our eyes can’t see.
In the past few days alone. It's a good time to build in longevity.
Longevity bout to explode.

It’s Friday night again. You’re relaxing after a stressful week. A new episode of your favorite show just dropped. What’s in the pantry that makes you powerless?

Be someone the 25th century will respect.
You're going to be surprised when you figure out that being healthy is living life more fully than the self destructive behaviors you romanticize.
If you ate two bowls of cereal instead of three this morning, you’re doing a good job.
In the future we'll be able to turn off our sensory perception so that we're not inadvertently forced to see, hear, or smell.
This plant in my office has great skin.
Gates peacocking in NY yesterday, downing a hotdog. What do you make of infinite money and poor health choices?
Existence is the prize.
The Greenland shark is over 400 yrs old. Will I live as long?
My in-ear temp this morning was 94.8°F (34.9°C), technically qualifying as minor hypothermia. Normal: 98.7°F
It takes swimming over a mile in ice to achieve an equivalent temp reduction.

Men, I'm coming for your girlfriends. They're going to get you to go to bed on time.
At some point, you all are going to realize that staying alive is the ultimate game to play.
Migratory birds are the ultimate nomads.
A 25 year old woman's type 2 diabetes was cured with stem cells taken from her own body. A world first.

Turns out fake food + Ozempic isn't a great business strategy. 90% drop in stock market value.
What are you getting pitched?
It's fun to see people grapple with a new way of understanding reality
This morning’s VO2 max training data. A little off today as I returned from Asia last night and feeling jet lagged.

Recent VO2 max: 58.7 mL/(kg·min), top 1.5% of 18 year olds

Thank you Singapore for the breathe of fresh air
Uric Acid is a power-law biomarker.
When UA drops, heart health soars.
But it’s one of the hardest to control in modern life.
5 things that got me to a 2.7 mg/dL UA range (top 1% optimal for men) and reduced my death risk by 45%…🧵

We are transitioning as a species from knowing to not knowing.
This change is so jarring, so scary, so unimaginable that 99.9% of people try to solve it with their knowing. They fill the air with words of prediction, ideas and certainties.

It may be blurred now, but soon it will become humanity's all-consuming focus.
Exercise ftw to combat jet lag.
The human race computes existence by speaking roughly 131 trillion words per day.
Friends - for the past year I've been working harder than I have in my entire life to make Don't Die easy for you. Every calorie. Every measurement. Every friend.
I think it's best in world. We are so close to being ready to share.

Alcohol isn’t a good friend.

Doesn’t respect boundaries.

Call an acquaintance today and ask them what’s on their mind. Be a good listener and ask thoughtful follow on questions.
Adults could previously offer kids advice about the future. That’s no longer the case.

Self-destructive behaviors are slow-boil suicide.
The safest path to superintelligence is to eliminate death.
Friend, put me on your shoulder. I'm ready to go into battle with you today, to do all the good and avoid the bad.
Justifications for death will fade until there are none.
