They say, do I feel like it or not? And then in that moment, it's like, nah, I'm going to skip today because like, I've been working really hard. I need to rest anyways. Like you rationalize it in whatever way. So just build systems. I basically, when I started doing this, like when I came here today, I put your address in to my navigation system and I was like, take me there.

I didn't memorize the streets, right? And so I trusted the algorithm that had more data than I had. And so I proposed this four years ago when I started. I said, can we build an algorithm that takes better care of me than I can myself? Like just measure my body, put it into a computational system and pair the science, then tell me what to do. I wanted to do like... uh, navigation for my body.

And that's what we've done. So I basically, I do not make decisions with my mind.

And that's what we've done. So I basically, I do not make decisions with my mind.

The algorithm does all the things for me. And so I just like, I feel like inevitable that we humans will not do this weird thing of make decisions on a daily basis of what to eat when exercise or just be done by an algorithm. And we'll be like, this is amazing because like, it just does what's right for me. I feel amazing. I was scared of it before. And now it's the best thing ever.

It's like, it's just inevitable. We're going to be in that path. Now, a lot of people, when they hear that they will think it's dystopic, which like, I get it from where you're at, but like we have said yes to algorithms everywhere. And it's entirely reasonable that we'd say yes to our health.

Yeah, that's true. I learned this when I was depressed. My mind was like, hey, you should commit suicide. Life is awful. You're never going to feel hope again. Die. It was just on repeat saying that. The biggest breakthrough in my depression was when I learned I am not my thoughts. such a simple concept, but like you see it land, it's like, okay, this came from somewhere, but it's not me.

And so even now, like, uh, do I want to work out or not? I don't care what my brain says. It is an unreliable source of information. Systems are a more reliable form of information. It's like set up your system. And like you're saying that, you know, if you do the system, you're going to be happy. I just never trust my mind to tell me what I do, what I do and don't want to do.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Entirely.

Entirely.

Like two things. Like one, when I built my previous company, Braintree of MO, we would build version one of our software and then version two and version three. We never showed up and the software was like, guys, no, I don't feel like doing my work today. I'm not going to perform. Like the software just performed in its most robust way possible. It's very reliable.
