But, love your rant. Bastids deserve it but likely won't hear it. Someday you'll have more time to yourself & will devote it to better pursuits than facials. Someday those boys will be feeding themselves & mowing the lawn.
If you take him at face value, Bryan Johnson's purpose seems pretty clear? Take every aspect to the extreme and allow onlookers to pick and choose what matters to them
I do see that and of the two I like him more. Someone has to do it. But also if he was my cousin or something I’d encourage him to coach a little league team or something.
So, it's great for you that you're robust and healthy enough to have a schedule like that.
Unfortunately if I try to work more than about thirty hours a week, about half the time my eyes will start to lose the ability to focus and/or I'll get a full on migraine by the end of the week.
Sometimes this still happens to me anyway, especially if I don't allow myself to have a short break when I start feeling exhausted.
Please have compassion for people who can't run themselves as hard as you do without simply ceasing to be operational.
I promise I do! But it sounds like you need it and that’s what I’m saying. I’m also guessing you don’t dunk your face in a bowl of fruit every morning or do other things that take as much effort as doing a work task.
This is a great rant and I so appreciate it. You emphasize the importance of getting through the daily grind, taking care of family and work and trying your best to mind yourself as well. You speak for many women and men....well, we women might have to use another analogy besides enlarged testicles, but we get the picture.
Taking care of your children, feeding and reading to them is the 100% most important thing you can be doing with your life right now. That time will never come again. I used to read my kids to sleep with various golden books and it was just wonderful. I miss that now.
Both you and those guys are extreme examples of achievement culture/mindset though. I suspect someone who’s more zen and less focused on collecting all the badges is in a more enviable headspace and life circumstance. But I’m also a person who leans your direction and don’t plan on stopping because it’s very rewarding for me to do hard things so kinda just playing devils advocate.
Everything in moderation, including moderation. I think that we're built to perform at our best by having peaks and troughs to our routine. Having to factor in the possibility of the unknown.
First of all, I also saw that documentary about the giant testicle guy and his lade and forgot about it until now. I had a good chuckle remembering it.
Secondly, you remind me of my husband with how hard you work and how available you are for your wife and children. We wives and mothers are eternally grateful for men like you!
And lastly, I agree with you about all these biohacking dudes. It's good to take care of yourself, but when your routine is soooo picky/specific/absurd...? Then how resilient are you, REALLY? Also, I feel like they're forgetting the number 1 contributor to good health in old age is the quality of your relationships. Another fun read!
Yeah the 12-hour workdays on too little sleep are fun and games until your first heart attack.
Necessary in spurts but agreed it’s not a long term sustainable thing. But I also still would say you have to be able to do it in spurts.
I mean, cats spend a lot of time on self-care, especially if they don't have a litter to care for, but humans take narcissism to a new level.
I think it’s fun as a sort of play, but I know a lot of young men and women think it’s real.
Ha - I 1st read this as testicle ladies!
