There’s a subset of women who tend to be exceptional judges of people: it’s like they can smell character, with special attention paid to danger, lying, fear, neuroticism. It’s not universal or even common, and society tries to beat this sense out of women early in all sorts of ways. But in many fields you see that women are often the ones who can spot the traitor, the liar or the dark forces early. There’s of course an evolutionary reason for this sense, and you’d think it would be talked about more openly. Women who have it should protect and cultivate it. It’s a valuable gift from nature.

Been feeling this for year: drinking is far less cooler today than when I was 18. So many of my buds don't drink or drink very little. And most work events or parties, don't serve alcohol (or very little). In 2012-2019...this was different. Getting drunk at work events was the norm.

From a previous life :)

I think whoop inadvertently killed alcohol consumption 😬

drinking’s one of those habits where the marginal return per unit time/cost is basically negative unless you’re optimizing for short term social cohesion or escapism. even then, you’re borrowing against your own clarity, sleep, & recovery while paying a tax in cash, cognition, & calories. culture finally caught up to the obvious which is that alcohol’s not subversive anymore. it’s just… inefficient as hell.

Gallup: US drinking is at its lowest since they started recording 85 yrs ago Biggest declines: White people, women, Republicans. Mostly health-driven. @bryan_johnson well done.

About to rip a 10 mile run w/o headphones. Longest I’ve ever done is 1 mile no music. Not a multi-day silent retreat but a step towards it. Quote from Wanting by @lukeburgis

Random. Flew in/out of Seattle last week. Sbux made iced drinks in paper “hot” cups. So now going to request that at every coffee shop. Less plastic, no cup “sweat.” 100x better.

Who’s going to armory this year?
