My official pilgrimage to see the Holy Grail, a sacred relic, the subject and myth and movies, the cup of the last supper, and that which collected the blood of Jesus on the cross. 🧵 The Holy Grail is housed in the Valencia Cathedral, specifically in the Chapel of the Holy Chalice (Capilla del Santo Cáliz). It’s been here since the 15th century after being protected by priests and kings, hidden in the mountains, and guarded from marauders for 1500 years.

Art reinforced myth and power.

Then it documented people and things and captured light.

Then WWI happens.

Art became dissident. It challenged assumptions.

Then it was co-opted.

Now it reinforces myth and power. WWI changed everything. if you made art that reinforced myth and power you contributed to 40,000,000 casualties.

artists looked to the future. they looked to the people. they looked inside their imaginations. they spoke to your subconscious and dreams.

they helped us escape WWI

Two weeks ago my youngest daughter and I spent the day at the modern art museum.

Today we head to the West Wing of the National Gallery.

Here’s two pieces I’m excited to see: We definitely need a cleanse after some of the crud we saw at the Hirshhorn.

I wonder what my ten year old with think of Byzantine Christian art as compared to contemporary social Justice drivel. Lol

AI will take real world economic markets as close as is possible to the theoretical text book market.

The only people who make money then are rent seekers. AI reduces friction, spreads information, closes arbitrage gaps, and will commodify almost every product.

The only people who make money in a “perfect market” are people who use the government or monopolies to extract rents from the rest of us.

How many of you have a doctor who would be happy you brought in a ton of research, had lots of questions, and expected to be a partner in your own health journey? It’s a laughable question because the entire medical system crushes doctors into little curt, compliant, conceited assholes who don’t have time or care for patient input.

A shoe salesmen will listen more than a doctor.

Just came today and I can’t put it down. Attia is a national treasure.

If you love yourself and your kids you’ll read this book. This book is well written. It’s been crafted and curated and there’s a narrative thread pulling the reader through.

It also contains numerous anecdotes and call backs which make digesting the essential health information easy and fun.

Kudos to Attia’s co author Bill Gifford.

Building a company in public in real time is risky. Lots could go wrong and I could drop the ball. But I like the pressure and it builds anticipation.

and hopefully it inspires others as well if there's one thing people learn from me its perseverance

never, ever, EVER fucking quit.

not ever

Our startup telehealth company @rebelhealth_ will incorporate state-of-the-art genetic testing to inform treatment, nutrition, exercise, and epigenetic counseling.

People ask me what can they learn from their genes.

Here's some samples from my own report.

Subject: The Liver Lazarus: My Escape from Fatty Liver's Death Grip

You know how some folks have a near-death experience, and then they see the light? Well, my liver had one of those.

Let me explain. A few months back, I was a prime candidate for a one-way ticket to Fatty Liver Land. My liver enzymes were on a rocket ship to the moon, and I was getting desperate. It felt like I was on the set of a horror movie titled "Attack of the Killer Liver Enzymes."

How many of you have had a physician, strength coach, epigenetic counselor, nurse, and dietitian go over your dna, bloodwork, and medical history together in a comprehensive way to create a customized care plan for you?

I know I had never

@rebelhealth_ & the more I think about it the more I wonder why that is? Why haven’t we had care plan established by professionals using latest research & analysis to prescribe a customized approach to holistic health & fitness?

Cost is part of it
Coordination another

But the truth is worse

Are you tired of feeling like a pawn in the hands of the traditional healthcare system, constantly struggling to find a doctor who truly understands your needs? Imagine waking up every day feeling energized, healthy, + optimistic about life. That reality is closer than you think. Picture a better future:

Visualize yourself in a world where your healthcare providers are not bound by the limitations of conventional medicine, but instead focus on your unique needs, working tirelessly to help you achieve optimal health and vitality.

My bloodwork in October said my liver enzymes were elevated suggesting possible fatty liver disease.

So I started taking TUDCA supplement.

As of today all my levels are in healthy range!

a.co/d/ctFAGM8 Conclusions and implications: TUDCA attenuates the progression of HFD-induced NAFLD in mice by ameliorating gut inflammation, improving intestinal barrier function, decreasing intestinal fat transport and modulating intestinal microbiota composition.

My youngest daughter got in trouble and we banned tv and devices for 10 days.

During her free time she came up the idea to create a health plan for herself called “Expedition Health” with exercise, sleep, and diet guidelines she created all on her own.

Lesson in there. For her first work out she asked me to teach her some basic movements like body weight squats, lunges, plank, and sit ups.

We crafted a little circuit for her and she executed it all on her own.

She sees the big kids doing it and hears us talking about it and wants in.

We're running some test diagnostics @rebelhealth_ on me as a client. Here's a sample of the blood work I'm doing that will likely be a part of the standard package we order for clients. This goes way beyond whatever your PCP may order for you. I'm going in for another DEXA scan tomorrow as well.

And I've already had my genetic testing done.

This comprehensive analysis is all part of what we're doing at @rebelhealth_ and it's pretty exciting.

I been grinding chat gpt4 hard. Trained to be a CFO. it’s been doing budgets and projections for me. Writing manuals and policies.

But today the data integrity started to degrade. It started using different costs for things I never said. Just changed hourly rates randomly. It seems like to got tired after a while. And all of sudden it would just change numbers without asking. Things that had been core assumptions from the beginning.

Until then it had been awesome.

I started retraining it but then ran out of tokens even with gpt+

Getting some culture with my youngest today. Is this art? Or this?

Well I asked chat gpt a bunch of stuff above myself that was public knowledge as of sept 2021 and it failed miserably.

For example it said I had never interviewed Dugin, and that I was still employed by the dc charter school board.

That’s discouraging. It also seems clear that chat gpt’s knowledge base excludes some websites. I keep asking it questions about stuff that is easily googleable at the time and it just doesn’t know.

Important to consider when using it for research and analysis.

These are the people that move out of the city to the burbs for the space and “good schools” who then turn the burbs into the hell hole they just left behind.

Note how the sign is the as the popular SJW yard sign? Of course the NAACP is in favor of abolishing single family houses. It’s in line with abolishing the family.

But note- zoning doesn’t exclude anyone by color - in this case it’s money - and there’s an astounding amount of brown Indians and yellow Asians in Arlington.
