Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🍎 What if there was always plenty of fruit:

In an attempt to simplify the concept of allopatric speciation, and the divergence of humans from our chimpanzee-like last common ancestor, I tweeted:

The geographic separation caused by the East African Rift System led to the evolutionary divergence and the rise of hominins.

This physical barrier created distinct environments that favored different survival strategies, pushing our lineage away from a tree-based, fruit-heavy diet, toward adaptations suited for open grassland habitats full of grazing animals...

🥩 What replaced fruit:

Because fruit was scarce in East Africa...

Millions of years: mostly animals fats. 

Last 100 years: mostly vegetable fats. 

But for some reason people still blame red meat.

👴 What doesn't lead to healthy aging:

While longevity gurus are eating plant-based diets...

A new study found that vegetarians (especially vegans) were significantly less likely to age well.  

They defined "healthy aging" as reaching 80 without major disease, or physical or mental decline.

💡 How to win:

Create a habit of winning.

Have a short list of things (~3) that you must accomplish for the day. As you go, cross them off. When you've completed them crumble up the list, throw it in the trash, and say "[Favorite Expletive] Yeah!". 

You just won the day. 

Wire yourself to keep winning by making your list for the next day. Repeat. The psychological impact is tremendous.
 

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

– Henry Ford, on controlling your focus

📊 Are we turning up:

About 4 months ago, Sina of 21st Capital predicted a "V-Shaped Market" Playbook.

So far, he's been pretty dead-on. If he continues to be right, we're starting up the right side of the "V-curve," soon to be off to the races.

🏥 What are they learning:

The richest woman in the world opens a new kind of medical school.

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

P.S.

The best time to shower.
