Men are irresistibly drawn, arguably thanks to evolutionary psychology, to travel to foreign lands and conquer sexually there. Many women travelers, applying the "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" logic, see travel as a time to let the inner slut out. Indeed, the prospect of hooking up with a curvaceous, exotic local, the sexy novelty of hearing lovemaking moans in a foreign accent, and living out our fantasies about having a French, Korean, Italian, English, or Brazilian partner are a big factor of the motivation to swipe our credit cards and go see the world.
This article will analyze the two ends of the spectrum and make the case that sex tourism is at its core unethical, harmful, and shameful while love tourism can be a beautiful cultural experience, more economical, and good adult fun.

Did you know that in Brazil 33% of people over the age of 25 have Osteoarthritis?
In America, we do a little better, according to conservative estimates 54 million of us have Arthritis, that’s 16%
We’ve long thought of arthritis as an annoyance to the elderly, just a part of aging. But, increasingly younger people suffer from it too. So I’ll suggest to you that it’s NOT just an inevitable part of getting older.
Arthritis, like so many health problems, is not a cause, but a symptom of deeper dysfunction that can be addressed by a holistic lifestyle approach.

Mrs. Roseland and flushed-red Jonathan begin this Q&A podcast with some pretty salacious Biohacker gossip (with some edifying personal antifragility philosophy takeaways); I explain why I don't trust Dr. Andrew Huberman (life lesson on cognitive quickslicing here). Then we move onto a bit of fan mail, address the free will question, and bring science to bear on the question does Niacin (Vitamin B3) supplementation cause cardiovascular heart disease?

I'll indulge in a bit of petty gossip for the edifying purpose of illustrating some pragmatic points about personal antifragility philosophy.
Dr. Andrew Huberman gets a lot of things right when it comes to applying antifragility philosophy but he got at least one thing very wrong.
Huberman rose meteorically as a health guru/influencer/podcaster a few years ago. He became very popular, very quickly which baffled me a bit because he's not particularly charismatic. His content - which is not bad but also not particularly original, clickbaity, or innovative - you can find in the recommended or trending section of nearly every major social media content platform. Every episode he introduces his show as "zero-cost to the public education" on health and science which is a clever way of framing up the century-old, listeners-time-wasting, interruptive mid-roll ad-supported business model which I'm sure has made him very rich in the last couple of years.
He's certainly a knowledgable polymath Biohacker, who does a decent job of communicating science, but there are a lot of good health podcasters out there, I wasn't sure why he became an overnight celebrity in my field.
The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains is a book that dramatically changed the way I look at the Internet. You don't need to read this book because the title says it all - your suspicions are correct, the Internet is NOT very good for our minds.
