🪨 What's the perfect fossil:
My New Year's Writing Challenge (a tweet/day) is off to a good start. It's brought me a renewed excitement to writing and refining ideas. One of those ideas (that I'm going to focus much of my future writing on) is what our mouths can teach us about diet and health.
Take fossils, for example:
The "Discordance Theory" says there is mismatch between our stone age bodies and our fast food world that has brought about the chronic diseases of modernity.
I theorize that this can also run in reverse: where our industrialized diet causes detrimental changes to our mouth's development.

💀 What experts found in a 2000-year-old skull:
Fossils can tell us more than what our ancestors may have eaten.
The skull tells a painful story of disability in the ancient world, yet serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.

📶 How to save the internet:
I got a lot of messages this week about getting on GETTR. While I think we'll eventually get a decentralized social media platform that breaks through to wide adoption, I'm not sure GETTR is it. I am hopefully that the internet will be taken back by the people.

🛣️ Where "All Roads" lead:
I worked on "All Roads" for the latter part of 2021. There's a lot of bricks.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:
"You can do what you do seriously, because you must do it, because you must survive to the end, and you are afraid of dying and other consequences. Or, you can do everything you do playfully, always knowing you have a choice, having no need to survive the way you are, allowing every element of the lay to transform you, taking pleasure in every surprise you meet."
– James Carse, Finite and Infinite Games

💵 Why All Roads lead to Bitcoin:
There is a significant correlation (overlap) between bitcoiners and carnivores. It seems odd.
What does a monetary technological breakthrough have to do with ancient human food?
The connection is the rise of fiat, which incentivized fiat food.
I summarized this book chapter "Fiat Food" in this thread:
Regenerating our degraded soils is the challenge of our time. It requires the austerity, the holistic management of large grazing animals, that fiat can never provide. Bitcoin fixes this.

✍️ What were his last words :
While I'm not an Apple person, I've always been a fan of Steve Jobs, studied his philosophies, read his biographies. But this was the first time I came across his dying words, his parting words of wisdom (including his 6 best doctors).

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you, but you cannot have someone bear the sickness for you. Material things lost can be found, but there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost - life...Eat your food as your medicines, otherwise, you have to eat medicines as your food.
As always, it's an absolute pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
