Sirloin on the left is always nice, but todays big wins are beef spleen (top right) and kidneys (bottom right).
Finding someone who raises and slaughters their own cows is a major hack.
Next comes the taste test, gut friendly cooking tips welcomed.

"I told you" says @akarlin.
Was it a mistake to vote for Trump?
If I'd known that MAGA would become a poverty cult obsessed with bringing Chinese sweatshops to the US, I would have supported DEI Kamala. However, as far as I am aware, no one (including Karlin) anticipated that Trump would declare war on every other country on earth and tank the economy for no reason. Given the information available on November 5, 2024, I think a Trump vote was reasonable. Should we not attempt to win because it's possible that we will fail?
But there are lessons.
The problem isn't *Trump*. It's that the American so-called "right" has become a coalition of stupid people from across the political spectrum. At the lowest IQ levels, the left and right converge on fascism. They favor a controlled economy over the invisible hand, wisdom of the "volk" over universities and book learning, and thuggery over due process. Trump wouldn't be able to get away with this if he didn't have an army of @catturd2's with the same dumb intuitions cheering him on. His future torchbearer will have to be an idiot in order to keep the MAGA coalition together, so he'll be no better.
All over the world, almost everyone with more than half a brain is looking at the disaster of Trump (along with Putin, Yoon Suk Yeol, et al.) and drawing the very reasonable conclusion that right-wing, anti-woke parties are incapable of effective governance. This is also my conclusion. The right *in its current form* attracts such low human capital that it is counterproductive for it to actually take power. What happens when a dog catches the car it's chasing? It looks confused, jumps around for a minute, and pisses on the wheel. That's anti-wokesters taking over the government.
I've been arguing that the right needs to focus on winning the battle of ideas and bringing the elites to our side. The way to do that is to refute the false empirical belief that underlies the ideology of wokism (the equality thesis). But I lost the battle to set the agenda for the right. Instead, it was decided that the only thing that matters is taking power and trolling leftists. Trump won the election, issued some executive orders, and anti-wokesters declared victory. But we are seeing the fruits of this strategy: a right that is on track to be totally discredited and cede power back to the woke.
It is still theoretically possible to turn this around. The Republican-controlled Congress should invoke the 25th Amendment, carry Trump away in a straitjacket, revoke the tariffs, and spend their political capital (which would be soaring) on important issues like deporting illegal aliens. But this is the kind of action that would be taken by smart people, not Republicans.
If you want the right to prevail in the long run, you should do everything you can to prevent right-wing political parties from gaining power prematurely. All focus should be on the Hereditarian Revolution, which we fight for in the realm of ideas, not (yet) in the ballot box.
I wonder how many people in the gym enjoy meeting limitations?
Not the limitations that look cool when your eyes are bulging beneath or above a barbell, but the type that humble when you try a new machine because the usual is out of service, and find you can only do 2 plates instead of the full stack.
I always feel the brief pang of, “Did I get weaker?” But it’s always followed by “Well then I just found a new way to become stronger.”
Then I often research the machine and discover it’s a pos, and that’s why…
But the mentality still applies to all things.

Entrepreneurship 101
Assuming your idea/product/service is half-way decent, the “work” is the easy part.
The logistics, infrastructure, hiring, firing, policies, procedures, applications, compliance, etc… especially today with all of the tools at our disposal.
It’s 90% easier than it was even 5 years ago.
Here is the hard part:
The ability to see success and keep going when it feels like you are losing.
No-one gives a shit and nothing is changing but YOU have to keep going.
Then one day it will happen
For me it happened sitting in the Phoenix airport in December a few years back after grinding for 7-8 years and checking our P&L and incoming payments and looking at my business partner like “oh shit, everything we talked about and dreamed about actually happened.”
7am fasted zone 2. Why? I guess I just really love reading comments from people telling me why only 5 minutes of interval training is going to somehow be superior for my long term cardiac health. 😘

The intersections of the immune and melanocortin systems
Gray hair isn't always a one way door.
At 72, a man with severe psoriasis started cyclosporine.
Within two months his white hair was turning dark.
Eight months after he stopped, it was white again.
He isn't alone. I tallied every published case of a drug darkening gray hair and found 59 people on more than 20 drugs.
Some had been white for decades.
In the only controlled study, 15 of 18 cancer patients on immunotherapy saw their gray hair darken.
On chemo alone, no real change.
Stranger still, drugs that calm the immune system and drugs that rev it up both do it.
They also work fastest, in months instead of about a year.
The likely reason is that some white hairs still hold pigment cells.
White follicles carry more immune cells than dark ones on the same scalp, and inflammation dims pigment cells.
Push that local signal hard in either direction and they can wake back up.
Almost all of this comes from case reports.
For some gray hairs, the pigment cells aren't dead.
They're dimmed.
Trials aimed at turning them back up have already begun.

I think that:
-Most people's circadian health is shit yet circadian dysfunction directly dysregulates tyrosine hydroxylase
-Most people have shitty sleep, yet, melatonin obviously binds to MT1 and activation of these melatonin receptors triggers signaling cascades that induce TH mRNA expression and increase TH protein levels
-Most people's heavy metal load is tremendous yet lead harms tyrosine hydroxylase and aluminum downregulates TH-immunoreactive neurons inside the substantia nigra.
-Most people do not have decent vitamin D levels yet vitamin D promotes the expression and transcription of the TH gene
Then you need to discuss dosing, timing, conditions in which people should not use it and more.
Yeah sorry, but potent compounds require context.
Fitzpatrick type 1/2 trying to figure out if the reduction of TSH has improved their complexion and melanocortin system function yet.

Your starter pack for biohacking with tea. Most people would be surprised how good at least 1-5 teas on this list will make them feel. Need to try different ones.
- hibiscus: for blood pressure + endothelial function
- milk thistle: for liver + glutathione recycling,
- holy basil (Tulsi): for anxiety + inflammation,
- oolong: for dopamine,
- gotu kola: for BDNF + collagen synthesis,
- peppermint: for IBS
- passionflower: for GABA + sleep,
- chamomile: for sleep + hormones,
- green sencha: for UTIs, gut + brain,
- nettle leaf tea: for allergies + histamine,
- ginger tea: slow transit time + gut inflammation
- dandelion: for immune system
- raspberry leaf: for menstrual cycle
- ginko: for blood flow
- blue lotus: for sleep + brain function
- valarian root: relaxation
- slippery elm: for cough and gut pain
- lemon balm: stress, lipids, + sleep quality
This is why we get bloods @nof1anddone
Got my ApoB results back, 3 years ago it was 56, today, it’s 95…
A 69% increase in 3 years. That crept up on me quick.
Gentleman, don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re healthy, just because you eat better than the next guy and move numbers in the gym.
I’m pretty lean, low bodyfat, high muscle mass. Regular weekly zone 2 cardio and lifting.
The body responds differently for all of us.
I’m lucky I have a baseline from 3 years ago to compare the increase against:
“You cannot manage what you do not measure.”
Look’s like another rabbit hole I’m going to have to dive down.
First thoughts are nattokinese, but would love feedback and context from the more informed.
