Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🦷 What happened:

What happened during modern history so that — everyone, everywhere — started getting cavities and malocclusion?

Cavities and malocclusion were rare among our pre-agricultural ancestors. 

They are rare among wild animals, but common among captive and domesticated animals.

No animal's natural diet should rot their mouth.

🥩 How does it taste:

I've been sending out the daily "Bites" for 2 weeks now. 

These are a 2-minute daily snack on how to use a meat-based diet to supercharge your health and fitness.

I would love any and all feedback on how they are tasting! 

Just hit reply on any message.

The goal is for these to be bite-sized but nutrient dense.

If you want to try them out, you can do so here, and if you don't like the taste you can always unsubscribe (and still get this Saturday 7).

👵 How to add 24 years to your life

These 8 habits can add up to 24 years to your life.

According to the results of this study, men with all 8 habits at age 40 lived 24 years longer compared with those with none. Women with all 8 habits lived 21 additional years on average.

2 thoughts on this:

1. The habits you don't have (i.e. not smoking, not drinking) are every bit as important as the habits you do have (i.e. good diet)
2. The researchers and I would disagree over the definition of "good diet," but limiting the worst foods, the ultraprocessed junk is a good first step regardless.

💡How to get 54 years of improvment in 1 year:

I practice the piano 1X/week. 

If I were to change that to 1X/day, this is what would happen...

Assuming I push myself just a little each practice session resulting in a 1% compounding of improvement, I would achieve 54 years of weekly improvements in 1 year with daily practice.

A lifetime of improvement in 1 year.

Lesson: 

If there's something you want to get better at, consider working at it daily.

P.S. 

Here's the math (h/t George Mack):

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.

– Amelia Earhart

📈 What's speeding up:

While governments are trying to figure out how to roll out CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), PayPal launched their own stablecoin. 

My thoughts on this are similar to Pomp's here.

This is a few weeks after Blackrock (and other major asset managers) filed for bitcoin ETFs, which seem likely to finally get approved.

Things are starting to speed up...

➡️ Can you see the hidden message:

Look at the white space between the orange "E" and "x". 

It’s an arrow pointing forward to suggest speedy and accurate delivery.

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.

Neuralink makes implantable brain-computer chips to connect your brain to the internet.  They got big funding this week to move to human trials.

I'll never get one. Don't ask me to change my mind.
