Self Quantification is quite the rabbit hole to go down.

In principle, it’s a pretty good idea. We have all these options for self-improvement or Biohacking — it seems like every week there's some new supplement, technology, app, device, meditation technique, or productivity hack to try. Yet we know that a lot of these options won’t really work for us…

2025 Update: Laziness is a symptom of a fundamental lack of willpower. Willpower isn't a very sexy subject (although I tried to make it one), but willpower is the ultimate lifehack because if you have willpower, you get to have anything else you desire.

• If you don't have willpower, you probably don't realize how important it is to your happiness.
• If you don't have willpower, you won't practice the hard habits you need to practice to acquire more willpower.
• If you don't have willpower, you'll continually fail to meet your goals and you'll live a life of quiet desperation.
• If you don't have willpower, you can't get it by reading self-help books or listening to inspiring podcasts. Sorry!

Smart drugs give you willpower. Fast. 30-60 minutes after consumption, the Nootropic agents will cross your blood-brain barrier, boosting the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine, which will noticeably improve your self-control for 4-6 hours.
After trying over 200 different smart drugs, I found one that I call the Discipline Molecule; more than any other Nootropic I've tried, I just do 100% of what I know I should be doing when I'm on this drug. Click here to get a detailed report on this smart drug and some infotaining videos analyzing what human studies are saying about the Discipline Molecule.

I think that the human capacity for invention, creativity, collaboration, and generosity, multiplied by the steep growth curves in technology, has a real chance in the next 50 years of eradicating poverty, war, hunger, disease, environmental issues, lack of education, even aging, and death.

There's also a good chance that 50 years from now, we will have all the same problems multiplied by another two billion humans. The greatest variable in this is laziness and indifference. As much as human beings are creative and inventive we have a boundless capacity for laziness and indifference. If we can overcome these flaws in our psychology 50 years from now we will see these demons vanquished from the world.

A Natural Iodine Source that Brings the Divine Feminine into Balance

Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is an Iodine-rich seaweed and natural medicine that brings female hormones into balance.

As we’ll learn from the science, Bladderwrack deserves to be in almost every woman’s vitamin cabinet. Women’s bodies are just a bit more complicated, like a beautiful (yet finicky) high-performance European sports car; they just need more attention and maintenance. Our hormones underlie our well-being in life and hormones are downstream from Thyroid function. If the Thyroid is not happy and getting what it needs, neither are we. The Thyroid needs iodine. Without sufficient dietary Iodine, our hormones become imbalanced, impacting our energy levels, mood, fertility, and metabolism. Bladderwrack is an outstanding Iodine source.

One night, after completing 92 days of intermittent sobriety, I smoked a joint with friends in a lovely park overlooking the city. In between laughing, coughing, and making plans to get snacks, I started wondering if - high on Marijuana - I was in a state of Coherence?

4 Stories of Psychopathy, Ego, and Ambition

The word insane is drastically overused for everything from mild moodiness and irritability to emotional changes. That's not what this article is about; these are four stories of times I did business with people who were deeply unwell psychologically.

Sometimes, I ask myself whether it's a degree of insanity within myself that has attracted these people and circumstances or whether it's just a matter of dumb luck that I've been quite intimately ensconced in business four separate times with people varying from unstable addicts to genuinely demented. I'm leaning more toward the former than the latter.

In addition to being entertaining, I hope that these stories can educate you on how to identify the tale-tale signs of insanity in the charming, persuasive people you are considering doing business with.
