A personal contradiction -- I work in frontier tech (crypto), yet I am skeptical of and slow to adopt most nascent technology It's like the opposite of Gell-Mann Amnesia, where my distrust in one realm (because I know what a shitshow crypto and software in general are) extends to other industries, especially "health" tech

would you say that you personally nail the health basics anyway? Healthy weight Good diet Good sleep Regular exercise both cardio and strength? Etc? Outside of the quantified self (self monitoring, bloodwork etc), which I view as a tool to help with adherence to above healthy habits, I don’t believe anyone who hasn’t nailed the above needs to be doing much more Deal in dollars not cents BUT This is MY belief I think it’s hubristic to say all health tech has 0 value, or deny smth just because it didn’t work for you I respect everyone right to make best choices for themselves And I am grateful for technological advances in pharma etc Medicine has been around a lot longer than computers or crypto

Ya agree with most of that — my foundation is ok, still working on it daily. Better diet, better sleep hygiene and regularity, more Pilates to recover from all the damage from the rippetoe / 5x5 years Imo health is an extension of the body. The body has been around for millennia, medicine / health protocols for centuries, western medicine for decades, and “tech” medicine for years. I trust them in descending order Again, I’m not telling anyone what to do. But im vocally anti pharma and western medicine when treating most issues. Just talking my book

I think if you eschew it to a point if I was in charge I would make rules you can’t go run to a real doctor if you’ve self treated yourself into a mess. You know so much, fix it yourself then EX: all the oncologists who have to deal with “cure cancer naturally” crowd. One breast oncologist I saw on X reported 1-2 people a month coming to her with black rotting breasts and metastasized tumors. What used to be only ppl too poor to afford treatment became many more People convinced not to trust medicine In that event, die at home. It is not a doctors job to clean up an esoteric health mess, while you fight them the whole way
