heir number one priority. So anyway, you might know somebody who predicted that if DEI became a top priority with nothing to do with anybody's genes or culture or gender or anything like that, it is a system which on paper should destroy the country. In other words if you look at it like a machine you say all right, suppose the country is a machine and it has these various moving parts. What wou…

You know wouldn't it be great if they did the strike but then immediately some startup pops up and says you know what we've got this fleet of electric ships or whatever and we can do this at half the cost. We just need a chance. Oh here's your chance.
So I don't have a completely negative feeling about the strike. First of all I'm pro union. I think the union if they're not getting what they need and there's money to make them whole, sure. But I do think that it could be good for the system just to force some alternatives so that we're less susceptible in the future. That might be a little too optimistic but I'm feeling optimistic today.
Andrew Huberman PhD says there's more data showing that cardiovascular exercise improves your brain function in the hours that follow. Now apparently cardio does much better than just lifting or resistance training in terms of your mental cognition. Now if you do too much it'll make you stupid. So if you run to the point where you just you're done you're not going to be thinking too well either. But if you do like a good cardio, like a healthy level of cardio for whatever stage of life you're at, apparently that has lasting brain benefits.
As somebody who does creative stuff for a living and I spend lots of hours doing it, my biggest challenge always has been managing my energy and my mental state because you need to be kind of in your top 2% to do what I do. You know if you're operating at 95% just nothing happens. You can't really be creative at a commercial level if you're operating at 95%. Just nothing happens. Yeah you got to get into that 99% of your own best before anything can happen.
So I've been playing with this variable of exercise and from my own anecdotal experience doing resistance training makes me tired and doing some cardio if it doesn't go too bad allows me to really concentrate on work and get stuff done. So anecdotally it feels right. Feels about right to me. Cardio but don't overdo it is good for your brain.
John Kerry said — we talked about this before but like I can't get it out of my mind — he said this quote at some event: "Our first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer disinformation out of existence. What we need is to win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that we're free to be able to implement change." Implement change to the First Amendment. The freedom of speech.
The New Yorker publication has an article in which the title is "Is it time to torch the Constitution?" Quote: "Some scholars say that it's to blame for our politica

l dysfunction and that we need to start over." Okay so John Kerry is questioning the First Amendment. The New Yorker, left-leaning publication, thinks it might be time to torch the Constitution or at least we should talk about it. And RFK Jr. that recent podcast said that 37 hours after Harris and Biden were installed in the White House they opened an illegal portal between the social media gian…
