Must Read

How to Be Healthy in a Dopamine-Seeking Culture

Here are just a few examples of the trade-off between brown rice and potatoes versus peanut M&Ms and Swedish fish that most people face every day: junk food versus nourishing food; deep-focus work versus distraction; scrolling social media versus reading a book; porn versus intimate relationships; retweets and likes versus building a strong community; heavy drinking versus abstinence (or at least drinking in moderation); day-trading speculative assets versus slow and steady investing in stable funds; immediate and cheap consumption of nearly everything versus living on a habitable planet.

The key is being aware and not giving in to your monkey brain.

Quick Links

🏛️ This stark, minimal house in Joshua Tree will be for sale for $1.75M.

🏢 I love the accent wall in this office set up.

🖥️ If I had the time, I'd totally find an old G4 or G5 iMac so I can do this.

driving up to LA from the border, I realized my odometer was gonna hit 80,085 miles, thereby reading “BOOBS.” by stunning coincidence, it happened *right* alongside the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant, which looks like a pair of giant tits. we felt the presence of god in my Jetta
