    Our readingMany fit-looking people achieve their physique with performance-enhancing drugs (TRT, steroids, HGH), more than is commonly assumed.

    Their wordsI think people really underestimate how many people are on gear (TRT, Tren, HGH etc) and are not natural

    Our readingMost fitness-model and Hollywood-style physiques are the result of performance-enhancing drug use rather than natural training alone.

    Their wordsYou definitely will NOT get a body you see on fitness Instagram or in Hollywood 99% of those people are on gear and not natty!

    Our readingA human lifespan of about 90 to 100 years is right, and living forever is not something to want.

    Their wordsI actually I do wanna die. I don't wanna do this forever. Like, I think the human li- lifespan of about 90 to 100 sounds about right. I'm embracing the finitude of life.

    Our readingHealth optimisation has overshot: minimising a measured risk is not worth it if the cost is not having lived.

    Their wordsAnd this is the myopia of modernity, that we reduce things down to like, well, one glass on this long run study meant that you had a 0.1% greater risk of some heart defect. Yes, but if you didn't live at all, what's the point?

    Our readingEight hours of sleep is the best investment in cognitive capacity, and trading sleep, health or exercise for more agent work is a bad deal even in the short term.

    Their wordsfor me, eight hours a night is the best investment you can make in your own cognitive capacity. So, I just am reminded every single time I do not get eight hours that it is such a poor trade.

    Our readingHe does not drink, because alcohol damages the one tool you most need for success and happiness, and trading that for short-term pleasure is ridiculous.

    Their wordsSo think about this. If your brain is this most valuable tool you have in your journey to success and happiness, why would you destroy this tool for short-term pleasure? This sounds ridiculous.

    Our readingWe overuse pills: a painkiller mutes the signal without removing the cause, and the makers are not incentivised to remove it.

    Their wordsNo, I'm not saying that you should never take pills. There are obviously some diseases that you can only fight with antibiotics, for example. So, I'm not suggesting we go back to the Middle Ages, but what I'm saying is we overuse pills.
