🎙 What's now available:
- By popular request, I recorded an audio (podcast) version of the protein article. If you have the choice and you haven't read it, I still recommend reading it as I think the diagrams and formatting of the article make it easier to digest. But if audio is your
thing – it's ready for ya.Â

👂 What else you can listen to:
- I was recently on the Primalosophy Podcast (Spotify link). Of course, we talked about eating a whole lot of meat, that's the "Primal" in Primalosophy. But what I enjoy talking about just as much is the "osophy," as we discussed philosophical topics like "designing your life" (i.e. how not to choose a career), the intersection of art and science, and why I'm totally
cool with the "vanity" of bodybuilding. I think you'll enjoy this one (Apple Podcast link).

 ⚙ What is more dangerous than we think:
- I read all of Paul Graham's essays. I used to read them for business startup advice. Now I read them for life advice and improving my thinking. His most recent essay addresses how shutting down free-thinking is more dangerous than we think.
"The conventional-minded say, as they always do, that they don't want to shut down the discussion of all ideas, just the bad ones. You'd think it would be obvious just from that sentence what a dangerous game they're playing. But I'll spell it out. There are two reasons why we need to be able to discuss even "bad" ideas. The first is that any process for deciding which ideas to ban is bound to make mistakes. ... The second reason it's dangerous to ban the discussion of ideas is that
ideas are more closely related than they look."

💘 What's more important than personality:
- "Relationship Science" is so interesting. Glimpses into human nature. So these scientists are now saying there's something more important than personality when it comes to having a happy relationship. According to an analysis of 11,196 couples in 43 studies, they think they've found the secret. The person you choose is not as important as the
relationship you build. It's the life dynamic you build together that matters most. They also highlighted the 5 biggest predictors of relationship satisfaction:
- Perceived partner commitment (is it a fling or forever?)
- Appreciation ("man I got lucky to get her!")
- Sexual satisfaction (self explanatory)
- Perceived partner satisfaction ("is he happy too?")
- ConflictÂ

 📱 What I had to change:
- At the start of this year I decided to try something new - give out my number to connect with people more closely through text message. With social media and even email, things can seem so impersonal. But I made a mistake, so I had to change my number this past week. However, I got a new number and I would love to connect with you on a more personal level. Just shoot me a text and say
hello, here's my new number: (314) 207-3216
