🌱➡🥩 How to turn plants into meat:
One of the (many) problems with artificial meat is that we already have an extremely efficient way to turn plants into meat.
They are called animals.
I posted this on LinkedIn and it kind of blew up (for LinkedIn standards). I've thoroughly enjoyed the comments, 100% worth scanning through, especially Peter Kurti's.

🐄 What 1 decision improves health, finances, and the environment (all at once):
There is one decision you could make that would improve your health, finances, and the planet all at once...buy a cow from a local farmer.
I picked up mine this week.
While beef prices are soaring at the grocery store, I'm eating the highest quality meat, for a more-than-fair price, from a farmer who cares for the animals and the environment.
I remember 1-year ago, I had an idea to make this as easy as possible for people (because it can be a hassle), and while I still have hope for the future of this idea, here's how you can make this happen today:
- Search Eat Wild for a local farmer (or just google)
- Invest in a deep freezer (7.0 cu ft = 1/2 a cow)
- Meet the farmer(s), place your order (it can take months, so it's important to plan future orders in advance)
- Borrow coolers (1/2 a cow = ~6-7 coolers) and pick up your order from the meat processor
- Invite your friends over for hamburgers (every day for the next year :)

🤷♂️ What is uncertain:
I got my bachelors in chemistry and one of my favorite subjects was physical chemistry. At its essence, it seeks to answer the question: what is "reality." I saw quantum mechanics as the bridge from the "unknowable" to the knowable (a "spiritual science" in a way - which is the ultimate oxymoron). In quantum mechanics there is a principle called Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle which states you can't know the exact speed and location of an object at the
same time because everything in the universe acts as both a particle and a wave.
This is the best 5-minute explainer video I've seen on this principle (which took me an entire semester to grasp :).
And if you really want to have your mind blown, this phenomenon is best demonstrated in the famous double-slit experiment.
What creates our reality?

🛠 What fixes this:
Most people get started with bitcoin as a speculative investment. Then with skin-in-the-game they start to fall down the rabbit hole to discover why bitcoin is important. " Bitcoin fixes this" has become a meme-like saying, claiming it is the cure for everything from climate change to cancer. But it's worth looking at these claims under scrutiny
as bitcoin's potential for positive change in the world is immense.
