The Great Resetback

GM 🐶

Here's your daily dose of Andrew's Apples, a small white bag of four fresh *fruits* to nourish your soul and make you feel great. All in under 2 minutes. Let's go picking. 

1. 🍆 Use a rubber (stamp). Vice published a piece on a new male contraceptive pill that purposely gives its users a vitamin A deficiency, while claiming safety due to its ability to not target testosterone. We already know millennials are not having sex nor babies, so the urgency for male contraceptives feels a bit manufactured, but hell. First things first: hormones are everything in the human body and the closest thing we know to biological magic. They can change feelings and tendencies in a blink; they can turn a toy gorilla into a 1000-lb silverback. So when these clowns say the pill user's hormones will go unaffected, raise an eyebrow and sip your cognac. We'll see about that.

2. 🕹️ The Great Resetback. As long as we are tethered to the earthly realm, we'll deal with a few truth-seekers and mostly profit-seekers. Just human nature, really. I am not taking a moralistic stance. I do not care. Part of the WEF's "Great Reset" is rethinking food which means agriculture which means energy. All sounds good... until you see the typical players involved. The larger-than-G*d corporations and select zillionaires who have been destroying nature and polluting for decades are now pretending to *care* about the environment (landfills, smog, and oil leaks, OH MY). In fact, the WEF states clearly that it wants to transition food from natural to synthetic. Why is this scary? "Synthetic" just means code, and code is protectable (in the form of intellectual property "IP"). Sages say follow the money, and IP=money. Lol! If the holders of real f*ck-you money truly wanted to improve human and planetary health, they would incorporate blockchain tech into regenerative agriculture (one in which wild flora, fauna, funga, soil, weather, and man work in tandem... all tracked on the blockchain). Not turn lunch into a science experiment.

3. 🧮 [1-2=-1] Just checking my math on that. Yup, checks out. When it comes to fat loss, yes macros are important, yes exercise is important, yes keeping stress low is important... but ultimately it's simple arithmetic: calories out must exceed calories in. You can get wonky on fat mobilization, transportation, and oxidation till your eyes bug out of your small head... but numbers don't lie. It's not complicated.

4. 🏋️‍♂️ Oh this? Probably diddly-squat. When the NY Times, "the paper of record," promotes the power of the squat, I'll tune in. Not because the bookish and frail-looking author of the piece likely knows anything about the 'mother of all compound lifts'; but rather precisely because she is bookish and frail-looking and STILL wants to fit it in the print edition a few days ago. Exercise-inclined internet trolls don't need this article, but the 8.8 million NYT subscribers who skew readerly in temperament and wimpy in physical strength, do. Challenge this gross generalization! No, squatting is not alt-right, but it is alright.

How do you like them Apples? Suggestions? Hate me? If you ever need anything, hit reply.
