And to be fair, as a species, we are new to having smartphones. It's been like 15 years, 16, 17 years. And it takes time for the collective... to develop antibodies and proper protocols.

It's funny, you can read up about when the telephone was invented, people didn't know how to use it. And they would just call randomly at any hour of the day. They wouldn't say hello. They would just start talking. And they would have to write into magazines to complain about people crank callers and all that. And it took a while for healthy norms to develop.

And I think we're still in the process of figuring out how to... have healthy, chaotic information environment diets. But the scary thing is that AI and all these things are coming up. And so by the time we adapt to whatever is happening now, new stuff is going to happen faster. So it's a challenge.

You know what's coming up for me, strangely enough? I know you've done podcasts with the Renaissance periodization guy, Israel Tell. Yes. And so I used to have a problem with my lifting patterns where I would try to go as hard as I could. And it would go pretty well for like three months, four months. And then I wouldn't realize it, but I'm getting kind of burnt out in some way.

And then I would either experience a minor injury or thankfully nothing serious, but like a minor injury or... I'd start losing my appetite and then eventually I'd take a week or two weeks entirely off and then my habit would fall off the rails and then everything just went bad. And I had years and years of cycles of this until I watched Dr. Mike and he was talking about deloading.

And I think that's just such a... I can't believe I never encountered that concept until... I mean, I guess I may have encountered it in passing somewhere, but I didn't take it very seriously. But when I saw Mike speak about it, I was like, oh, this guy knows his stuff.

i gave it a shot and it totally works it's like so the idea is basically keep doing the reps or maybe maybe fewer reps maybe fewer weight but like you know still show up but like at a lesser intensity and that kind of keeps you in the game but not balls to the wall kind of uh pushing yourself too hard and i feel like there's a parallel here with like seriousness in general or just you know any kind of project management
