Does anyone know what the argument is for the retention breath segment of Wim Hof breathing is?
It seems to me, based on the proposed mechanism, you should get all the benefits (and more so?) from straight up hyperventilating, without any breath hold at all.
Does anyone know the claimed reason why holding your breath helps?
The argument that I've heard is that this causes a build up of CO2, which increases Oxygen Absorption by the cells.
And that's not...totally unreasonable. Higher acidity DOES cause hemoglobin molecules to release more oxygen on average.
I basically already follow his advice, with regards to tweeting.
When I'm reading books and blogposts, I take notes for myself: recording thoughts, questions, ideas, etc. And, since it's cheap, I'll paste some fraction of those thought threads into typefully, edit a bit, and post to twitter.
It's dawning on me how much the incentives of software, and the world, are warped by VC.
The possibility of unicorn returns distorts the whole industry, most of which would probably have more wholesome impacts on the world if they focused on making more revenue than costs.
The whole world is using software, but most (?) of the producers of the software are beholden to something other than their customers: they need to grow, so that they're attractive to the next round of investors, so that they can grow more, so that the founders can exit.
The customers are the fuel for that process, but that doesn't mean that you're giving them the best experience you can. If you can grow faster or get better returns for your investors by doing something else, you do that.
