I'm moving my Twitter account to my other handle, @VR. Please follow me there!
I'm going to be posting a lot more about startups, wealth building, flying, fitness, and virtual reality. I might even have some fun stories from founding Bodybuilding.com. :)
Thank you!

"You just typed a few words."
Speaking of innovation, @nptacek made a cityscape with AI, asked ChatGPT to write a script to port it to a VR headset as an environment, iterated until it worked, & stepped inside. They've now made many more.
As they says: "Words create Worlds."

Without regular exercise—and strength training in particular—health and vitality inevitably decay.
And your health and vitality aren't just "parts of your life"—they quite literally ARE your life.
By refusing to spend a few hours per week on your fitness, then, you're basically saying, "I don't care about my life."
