There's the American school of thought, which is we should eat less fat.

And, you know, maybe they were sort of influenced by industrial lobbies and whatever else.

So we ran the experiment for 40 years, and Europeans stayed pretty slim, and Americans got really fat, right?

Now, probably what Americans should have done, and a lot of people tried to make this better, is said, hey, we need to just change our habits as a society and, you know, moderate a little bit in sugar intake and all these.

Of course, that didn't happen.

Right.

Instead, Americans did this uniquely American thing, which is we invented Ozempic, GLP-1s.

We're like, we have this breakthrough new technology to solve this problem that we really should have just solved with perhaps different choices as a society and as individuals.

I think the same way the Europeans have aspired to the four-day work week, and they're like, this is better for human flourishing and families, and I think that's right.

But Americans have to do it the American way, which is we create this incredible new technology that makes us so much more productive that we can actually reduce our workload.

from five days to four days and maybe even three and a half days.

So there's some sort of a parallel here, and I think we're heading to a four-day work week.

That is how the 20% productivity increase is going to show up in my view, and that's my strangest prediction.

So, okay.

So I have two questions.

One is what's the basic stack for somebody playing with peptides?

Like what would you recommend?

What's safe?

What's the right amount of risk to take?

So my second follow-up question is, you know, if we radically extend human life, do you think we're sort of emotionally, spiritually, societally prepared for people who live to 120, 150, 200?
