The blog (featuring some seriously actionable articles of exhaustive length) on everything from biohacking, smart drugs, and mind hardware to anti-aging, social dynamics, and philosophy.
As Biohackers, we are perpetually on the hunt for the "thrust" -- that elusive, boundless well of energy and motivation required to kick ass through the day. We obsess over stimulatory molecules, the latest Racetams, and those "limitless" compounds that promise to keep our cognitive engines revving. But any seasoned practitioner of the art of human optimization knows that this high-octane lifestyle requires a counterbalance.
If you aren't prioritizing the quality of your downtime, you are effectively redlining your engine without ever changing the oil. I’ve recently been experimenting with a specific stack of anxiolytic sleep supplements and biohacking tech that has resulted in some seriously solid, restorative slumber. It’s time we acknowledge a fundamental truth often ignored by the "hustle culture" mainstream: Sleep is, in itself, a potent Nootropic.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian businessmen had a well-deserved reputation for shady dealings. I wouldn't blame anyone for being a little skeptical of buying Nootropics or anti-aging medicines from a Russian source. But that was 30 years ago; times have changed, and now, frankly, you should be skeptical of everyone. Government regulating agencies like the FDA are hopelessly corrupt and captured by big pharma, which is probably sponsoring your family doctor's next luxurious vacation. The internet is a double-edged sword when it comes to your health; Amazon sells "health" supplements tainted with catastrophic amounts of toxic heavy metals, but the internet also gives you an unparalleled ability to sniff out the scams and figure out what actually works.

This old bromide applies, of course, generally to everyone in choosing a romantic partner, but men in particular ignore it.
And I won't repeat that advice.
I contend that the savvy seducer can get both virtue and beauty in one package.
That's what I did, and I wrote a 500-page book about how to make that magic happen.
How to seduce the enduring affections, passion, and commitment of a virtuous woman; a philosophy that resulted in a happy seven-year marriage and a beautiful baby that she is singing to in the other room while I write this very sentence.
Recently, I finished a book that makes an almost comically perfect companion to mine: Venus Fly Trap — the memoir of a man who seduced the enduring affections of a succubus from the ninth circle of hell.
I’m speaking metaphorically. Just barely.

But something has changed. I’ll see a new episode drop. I’ll click. I’ll listen. And by the end, nothing new; just remixing, repackaging, and reiteration.
I'm tremendously tempted to start internet drama by calling out a few of them, but I'm genuinely grateful to them, so instead I'll try to surmise why this is happening...
