Is everyone in Europe dehydrated? Nobody carries water bottles. Water is expensive everywhere and not free at most restaurants. Bathrooms are scarce and often cost money to use. My theory is everyone is ok with this bleak situation because they’re all massively dehydrated, rarely pee, and don’t know the glory of what 1+ gallons of water consumed per day feels like to the human body.

Hot take: “I can run any distance” is usually just ego with good cardio. Because training for a 5K and training for a marathon are different sports. Different muscles. Different limits. Different costs. Signing up for a longer race with no plan isn’t toughness. It’s gambling. And when it goes wrong, people don’t say “I skipped the work.” They say “I guess I’m not built for running.” No. You just treated adaptation like it was optional. Be honest: have you ever entered a race you didn’t respect? #running

8 years ago I met Epstein via zoom. A mutual contact put us in touch as I was building my brain interface company Kernel and he had supposedly done some neuroscience stuff at MIT. After a ten minute video call I immediately called the person who put us in contact and told him that Epstein seemed like a very dark person. I felt sick to my stomach. I also told him I that never wanted to speak to him again. I remember this so clearly because I knew nothing about him but weirdly, intuitively, something was deeply wrong. Being in his proximity felt dangerous. Despite having nothing to go off of, I never interacted with him again and came to find out years later that he'd had a fucked up past.
