maybe the bmi is also wrong. if your index is labelng half or more of ppl as diseased, maybe the index is broken. except for jockeys, meth addicts, and runners, most men are going to be aleast borerline overweight by 30. i dont know any thin people. maybe we need to make drugs legal..that will fix it. perhaps there is a good biological reason people weigh more, why fight nature.

It helps greatly that he already has a huge brand. Part of the role of the publisher is to promote authors, although that that has changed to favoring social media.

It would also seem like writing posts is a way better ROI on time compared to a book.

this is a very broad statement. you have to control for a lot of variables. in some ways the US is better, in other ways is is worse..
hamiltonians··on On Being Busy
How about being a millionare. That seems pretty good and much more feasible than a billion. Nothing is getting cheaper..i would error on the side of trying to earn and invest more. I think for a lot of people work provides meaning in life, and I dont see this as being a bad thing.
