The World's Most Expensive Eating Disorder

"Be humble after but not during the action." - Ernest Hemingway

The World's Most Expensive Eating Disorder: Bryan Johnson has an eating disorder concealed under the veil of “health and fitness”. However, what's really going on is starvation. Nowadays, I quickly recognize it when someone else has an eating disorder. When body fat gets to very low levels, for evolutionary reasons, people are set to become obsessive, rigid, and engage in OCD-like behaviors intended to help with foraging. We see this in about every mammal we study, and Bryan Johnson is no exception.

Writes and Write-Nots: Writing is thinking. In fact there's a kind of thinking that can only be done by writing. If you're thinking without writing, you only think you're thinking.

So a world divided into writes and write-nots is more dangerous than it sounds. It will be a world of thinks and think-nots. I know which half I want to be in, and I bet you do too.

How I Uploaded Myself to AI: One of life’s biggest challenges is communicating the context behind your feelings, decisions, and actions. How do you take the thoughts swirling around in your mind and translate them into something that other people — your coworkers, your partner, your therapist — understand? My favorite example of this might be Gen Zers making decks to educate their therapists about their “lore” — they’re trying to condense the history of their lives into the most impactful moments and people. I call this idea “exporting your brain.” It’s taking the context that exists in your head — which is essentially unstructured data — and translating it into a format that can be understood.
