Saturday 7

Published: Sat, 07/20/19

Hey, good morning!

Here is your Saturday 7 roundup of this week's findings, fun, and f'ups...

🧪 What's the difference -

Last week I mentioned some of the n=1 carnivore experiments I've done. Many people asked if I could share more about the results, like: "What was the difference between 6 months of just beef and water vs. 6 months of nose-to-tail eating?"

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What's growing -

I'm not the only person doing n=1 diet experiments. The Meat Health private facebook group, hit 10,000 members this week. I'm constantly amazed at the wealth of information and inspiration shared in this group. If you are doing (or even considering) a meat-based diet, you should get in here with us.

💦 What arrived -

Aquaman, my new water filtration system, arrived and chlorine, fluoride, and other heavy metals like lead are now filtered from my drinking water. FYI - it's a Berkey - but I was told I have to name him, thus "Aquaman."

🤖 What could turn into i, robot -

Imagine putting threads in your brain that could connect with Wi-Fi. Well this is Neuralink's plan to merge the human brain and artificial intelligence.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -

"Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants."

-Ross Perot

👬 What brought the left and right together -

This week Facebook answered to the Senate Banking Committee about their cryptocurrency, Libra. And the Republican and Democrat lawmakers agreed - they don't like Libra. What I found most interesting is the benevolent attention Bitcoin received thanks to its comparison with Libra. Libra's shortcomings highlight Bitcoin's strength.

🎹 What piano scales are you practicing -

I've learned a lot from Tyler Cowen, especially in the realm of deliberate practice and constantly improving. One question he likes to agitate people with is: "What is it you do to train that is comparable to a pianist practicing scales?” This is how you get better.

It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you,

hope you have a great weekend!

Kevin

P.S.

I'm really sorry to all the people that missed last week's newsletter. For some reason it didn't arrive for some people, ended up in the "promotions" folder (Gmail users), or in the junk. If you want to make sure you get this every week, I'd recommend adding me to your contacts, whitelisting, or dragging this email from the Promotions folder into the "Inbox" folder. Sorry about the inconvenience, and it means a lot that you look forward to the newsletter :)
