📈 What chart I updated:
Â
About 2 years ago I wrote Carbohydrates and the Carnivore Diet, the most read article I've ever written (next to The Ultimate 30 Day Guide to the Carnivore Diet which has now been
downloaded by 100,000+ people). In the article on carbs I mention that Americans eat ~130 lbs/sugar/year. Well I re-visited this number this week and according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, that number is up to 152 lbs of sugar/year/person. Staggering.

🎙 What's coming out on Monday:
Â
I did a podcast with Judy Cho that is coming out on Monday. If eating meat and improving body composition interests you, you're going to enjoy this one as we talk about tactics and strategies to get "summer ready."Â
Â
We are also doing a special giveaway which is going to include lifetime access to Meat Health Academy as well as a copy of Judy's book, Carnivore Cure.

 👅 How attention to details can make the difference:
Â
Tennis, like life, is about problem solving. While I try to avoid "majoring in the minors," occasionally it's the details that make the difference. Especially at the highest levels. Andre Agassi, former #1 tennis player, lost 3 matches against Boris Becker. Frustrated, Agassi watched tape after tape to try and figure out how to return Boris's 139 MPH unworldly serve. He turned to the details...
Â
Â
Years later, Agassi told Becker about his secret. Becker laughed, saying:
Â
"I used to go home all the time and just tell my wife, 'It's like he reads my mind.' Little did I know, you were just reading my tongue."

↕ What I've been thinking about all year:
Â
If we lived on Mars where oxygen is scarce it would be the most expensive item on the planet (right there next to water). However, on Earth it's free because it's abundant. Via Moore's Law, technology drives abundance and thus should drive costs down. It's deflationary. With technology $1 today is worth more than $1 yesterday. The world's best phone a decade ago may have cost you $1,000, but today you could probably buy that phone for under $100. Imagine a world where everything – housing, education, food, healthcare – became half as expensive every 2 years. Moore's Law for everything. The problem is our economy (and MMT: Modern Monetary Theory) depends on inflation and thus will fight these deflationary forces at all costs. What happens as technologic deflation continues to go parabolic and the dollar printing press gets turned on hyperspeed to try and keep up?

🧠What quote I've been thinking about:

🥕 Who I'm following down the rabbit hole:
Â
During "bitcoin mania" in 2013 when the price hit nearly $1k, I started following the bitcoin carrot and fell down the rabbit hole. And recently I've been following another carrot, @therationalroot, who has the best bitcoin charts and analysis of anyone I've seen. This is a great video where he discusses his charts.
