Sauna and meditation.
Frequent sauna use shows the strongest human data: Finnish cohorts link 4-7 sessions/week to ~40% lower all-cause mortality, ~50% lower CVD death, and substantially reduced dementia risk.
Meditation consistently lowers chronic stress markers, helps preserve brain gray matter with age, and supports favorable cellular aging biomarkers.

卧槽，这踏马太毒了
DeepMind 掌门人、诺奖得主 Demis Hassabis 刚刚把延续了上百年的现代学校教育底裤彻底扒光了：
全球几十万名数学老师每天关在办公室里，为同一门中学数学课重复手搓着一模一样的 PPT，这简直是人类智力资源最荒诞的工业级空转。
很多人至今还把名校名师的课堂讲授当成稀缺资源，拼了命去抢学区房和重点班，
但 Hassabis 直接用最冷酷的第一性原理砸碎了这个幻觉，
标准化的知识灌输从来不配占用昂贵的线下课堂，死记硬背和刷题完全应该被踢出教室，交给能按每个孩子毫秒级反应速度实时调频的私人 AI，加上全世界最顶尖的那几个大师录好底层大课，就足以把全球基础教育的讲授环节一次性彻底平替。
过去两百年里，学校本质上是一座把千差万别的碳基大脑强行塞进同一条流水线、按同一个节拍器拧螺丝的工业时代兵营，
老师沦为了人肉复读机，学生被困在枯燥的题海里比拼谁更像一台劣质硬盘，
而一旦 AI 和顶级大师把标准化的知识传递彻底接管，线下教室唯一剩下的合法存在价值，就只剩下了机器永远无法通过权重计算出来的五个维度：
人际博弈、复杂项目实战、创业野心、创造力，以及最致命的判断力。
这里有一个极度冷酷的反直觉真相：
当个性化 AI 把考高分的边际成本砸穿地板，按标准答案培养出来的做题家，在出校门的那一刻就已经直接沦为了算力废料。
未来的阶层分化，从来不再取决于谁的脑子里背下了更多现成的公式，
而是取决于当 AI 把一万种完美方案同时拍在桌上时，谁拥有拍板做决定的判断力，谁能攒起一个活人团队去把事情干成，
所以别再逼着孩子在死记硬背的泥潭里跟硅基芯片比拼记忆容量了，当流水线式的教书匠和做题家同时迎来历史性失业，谁能先把教室变成训练人性直觉与创业野心的实战沙盘，谁才能在算力时代拿到唯一不被平替的入场券

Everyone can express their own opinion in a free society, even an idiotic one. It helps us know how dumb someone is.
But calling for political violence against other Americans crosses a line that we shouldn't tolerate.

i'm so hyped for genetically engineered houseplants and pets
our homes are literally gonna look like Avatar
example: this is a petunia with mushroom DNA that glows in the dark every single night (and you can already buy one)
yes, the light comes straight from the plant's own living cells (no batteries / no paint / no black light)
that's because a startup called Light Bio put the genes of glowing wild mushrooms inside it
every plant already makes the stuff those genes need, so the petunia keeps making its own light for as long as it's alive
right now in person it's a soft glow, it looks like moonlight
but they teamed up with Ginkgo Bioworks (OpenAI partner btw) to make plants that glow at least 10x brighter
together they're testing new versions of the glow genes to find the ones that shine the brightest
and before that even lands, they're already rolling out the next generation:
> the plants grow 2-3x faster than the original
> the flowers come in pink and blue for the first time
> one of them even shifts between pink and white depending on the sun and temperature
i might replace all my lamps with these lol

Of course.
Gay men have far too much taste for such a laboriously ugly pride flag! Fashion crime beyond belief.
As a gay man, I'll say what a lot of us are thinking.
We fought to be left alone. To marry the man we love, keep our jobs, and live a quiet life.
We won.
Then woke activists took our letters, stapled on a dozen causes we never signed up for, and started calling us bigots for saying sex is real.
That isn't our movement anymore.

BREAKING: For the first time in American history, the Department of Energy has approved a commercial nuclear microreactor's safety analysis for full-power operations.
LA-based Radiant secured the approval, with testing planned at Idaho National Laboratory.

Robert and I are thrilled that our gift of over 2 million shares of SpaceX stock will be distributed to children’s Trump accounts in December!
Our initial gift (shares transferring to escrow as we speak) will go to 11 to 17-year-olds who live in zip codes with median family income (MFI) of $57,000 or less, and to those who live in zip codes with too few residents for an MFI to be reported in the census. These families should receive a notice by Monday.
In a few weeks, an additional gift will be finalized for eligible 11 to 17-year-old children in military families serving overseas, children in foster care, and more children whose MFI is $90,000 or less living in counties near our home in the great state of Texas.
Thank you to the incredible team @SpaceX, @Treasury, @IRS, @DellFdn, @GreaterHorizons, @InvestAmerica24, and the legal firms of Morgan Lewis and Gibson Dunn for working over the past few months to make this happen.
We are deeply grateful for the groundbreaking work that Brad Gerstner @altcap and @MichaelDell have done for the long-term financial security for millions of kids.
God Bless America!

A Calgary man has removed more than 1,000 pounds of garbage from the area around the Calgary Soldiers’ Memorial ahead of Remembrance Day.
Matthew Thomas Edwards says he spent five days cleaning up the area, collecting 1,084 pounds of trash in 33 bags.
Edwards says he has collected more than 14,000 pounds of garbage this year, bringing his lifetime total to over 36,000 pounds.

Most people today treat multi-hour daily social media scrolling as a normal, low-cost way to unwind or stay connected. By 2050 it may look as reckless as mid-20th-century doctors endorsing cigarettes: a habit that eroded attention, sleep, and real relationships while being sold as harmless entertainment.

NEVER try to make people like you.
You could LITERALLY build a flying car and donate $10 billion to children, and people will STILL find ways to shit on you.
Just be you.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK!
JUST DO COOL SHIT!!!!!

Hundreds of years ago, a man invented this magnificent musical instrument. Then, another man composed this wondrous piece of music. And now, here I am, witnessing this brilliant performance. Life is truly a miracle.

How often do you see an orchestra give a kid a standing ovation? How often do you see grown men cry? This is far and away the best I've ever heard this sung. The arrangement is exceptional. Way better than the original

Tesla just had the biggest residential Virtual Power Plant event in history.
During peak demand in California yesterday, 85,774 homes with @Tesla Powerwalls delivered 601 MW to the grid, with the total fleet peaking at a record 634 MW, roughly the output of a large utility-scale power plant.
These Powerwall owners also got paid for the energy they sent back to the grid during this event 🔋

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished.
It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this.
People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny.
But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity.
In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history.
After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome.
Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.
