​Creatine: One of the most well-researched and effective supplements for enhancing muscle strength, cognitive function, and overall energy production, with benefits extending beyond athletes to general health and aging.

It supports brain health, muscle recovery, and even metabolism, making it a simple, safe, and cost-effective addition to nearly anyone’s daily routine.

I take creatine daily. NEVER trust supplements from SCAMazon. Full of fakes with who knows what inside. Buy direct or don't bother.

​How to Rewrite Your Negative Thoughts – Alain de Botton | Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson (#1015)​

Class Plays a Big Role in How You See Yourself

  • Working-class kids grow up thinking other people control the world, and they just have to work around obstacles
  • Middle-class kids get this feeling that people like them make the world, which gives them way more confidence

Imposter Syndrome Is Actually a Good Sign: it means you’re honest and self-aware enough to question yourself​

  • Evil people don’t worry about being evil, so if you’re worried you might be a fake, you’re probably authentic
“I think the best men are those who’ve been broken by life and have come out the other end. Why? Because they’ve been forced by circumstances to drop the illusion of their strength and power.” – Alain de Botton
  • When that happens, men become glorious because that’s when true humanity and sympathy show up
  • You can spot men who’ve been broken from a mile away
  • There’s a modesty deep down
  • You sense how much you could tell them and how much they’d be able to bear

Museums Are Bizarre... archives of 1000 years of stuff, and you’re supposed to love it all in one afternoon

  • Better approach: go to a museum, and if you find two things you’d like to steal and put in your house, you’re doing great

Trains Are Perfect for Thinking

  • We didn’t invent railways to travel… we invented them as places to think​
  • You’re looking out the window with just enough distraction (telegraph poles, birds) to tether your anxiety​
  • ...but also enough space to make discoveries

How to Neutralize Arguments:

  • Make the other person feel heard, even if their reality isn’t yours
  • Acknowledge first: “I’m hearing that you’re really insulted” then explain your side
  • Frame things as coming from you, not as universal: “I feel”, not “you are”
  • Use softening language: maybe, perhaps, I might, I may
  • The world can be saved by a few more “maybes” and “perhapses”

​Dr. David Fajgenbaum: Using Existing Drugs in New Ways to Treat & Cure Diseases of Brain & Body | Huberman Lab​

The Medical System Isn’t Designed to Find New Uses for Old Drugs

  • There are around 4,000 FDA-approved drugs, but a lot of them can treat more diseases than what’s on the label
    • So many opportunities are missed... Dr. David Fajgenbaum wants to change this with Every Cure​
  • Most drugs actually interact with 20–30 proteins, so they do way more in the body than you’d expect

Aspirin Isn’t Just for Pain: people always think it’s for pain, but it also stops heart attacks by thinning the blood

  • It can lower the risk of colon cancer coming back if your cancer has an mTOR mutation

Viagra Started as a Medicine for Heart Disease! It’s now used for a rare pediatric lung condition

  • A similar drug, Cialis, started out targeting prostate circulation; only later did it become known for sexual health

If You Want to Find Out What Drugs Could Help Your Disease:

  • Start with the disease organization; they know what’s being tried globally
  • Find out who the world’s guru on that disease is
  • Never stop asking: Is there anything else, maybe used elsewhere, that might work?

Help Every Cure!​

  • There should be comprehensive databases for diseases, drugs, family history, symptoms, and treatment options
  • People should be able to plug
