The Plumley Podcast

Inspired by an idea from the Joe Rogan Experience, in this video I dive into what I the future of Twitter might be. . . .  With Elon Musk's recent purchase of the social media giant, the new owners are faced with the challenge of making the platform profitable while maintaining its commitment to free speech.   As journalists and intellectuals turn to podcasts and Twitter to share information, we'll explore how these two mediums will shape the future of social media. And with AI technology on the rise, what new possibilities will emerge?   Enjoy this discussion on the future of Twitter, podcasting, and social media. 

Palm oil, the golden elixir of the tropics, is a paradox unlike any other ➡️ It's a substance that is both a blessing and a curse, a dichotomy that has captivated the world and left it struggling to reconcile the two opposing forces.  On one hand, palm oil is a cheap and abundant source of oil, providing essential nutrition to millions of people around the world.  On the other hand, it is a devastating destroyer of the planet's most fragile ecosystems, a scourge that has decimated rainforests and threatened the existence of countless species. It's a classic tale of greed and exploitation, a story that has been playing out for centuries, from the colonial era to the present day. The demand for cheap oil has driven the expansion of the palm oil industry, and the consequences have been catastrophic. Rainforests have been clearcut, wildlife has been hunted to the brink of extinction, and the delicate balance of nature has been disrupted. THIS is the STORY of PALM OIL, a tale of a substance that is both a blessing and a curse, a tale that speaks volumes about the madness of modern civilization and the lengths that we will go to feed our insatiable appetite for oil. The oil is our addiction, our 'drug' of choice, and we are all too willing to pay the price, whether it be the destruction of the rainforests or the extinction of countless species. The dichotomy of palm oil is a story that is both heartbreaking and absurd, a reminder that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions and cheap oil....

Hello people, here is a working draft of an audio version of the novel I am currently writing. The book follows my experience observing and experiencing the world of biohacking and self-optimization.  I attended a wild conference on these cutting-edge ideas & encountered a diverse group of individuals driven to enhance their health & wellness through a combination of supplementation, drugs, diet, and technology. In my writings I aim to convey my vivid observations & (hopefully) thought-provoking musings . . .I reflect on the trade-offs & paradoxes of pursuing human optimization to the extreme . . . This audio covers the first several chapters, leading up to the conference and everything that transpired there on out. #BiohackinginLosAngeles . . . more coming soon . . .

Join me on my journey to kickstart the new year with a biohacking twist!  In this podcast, I document my 50-hour fast without food to optimize my health and well-being to start 2023!   Fasting for 48 or more hours can be a powerful tool for optimizing your health.  Abstaining from food for an extended period of time, your body enters a state of ketosis, where it begins to burn stored fat for energy, leading to mental focus and improved body composition.   Additionally, fasting increases insulin sensitivity, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels - it's like hitting the reset button on your metabolism.   Long-term fasting can help reduce inflammation and promote cellular repair; leading to an increase in longevity.   It increases growth hormone & it's one of the most effective ways to activate autophagy, the natural cleansing process that helps to get rid of damaged cells & improve overall health.    It's like giving your body a deep cleanse & a reset.  The Ultimate Biohack!

The recent episode of Joe Rogan's podcast featuring Forrest Galante highlights the potential for woolly mammoths to be brought back from extinction and reintroduced to the Arctic.  This is a process known as rewilding, which would help to restore balance to the Arctic ecosystem that has been altered by the loss of megafauna, as discussed in Stewart Brand's 2010 book "Whole Earth Discipline."  The reintroduction of woolly mammoths could bring numerous benefits including increasing biodiversity, improving soil health, and sequestering carbon. However, it's important to note that there are still many scientific, ethical, and practical challenges that would need to be overcome before it could be successfully implemented.

So I noticed #JoeRogan was trending Twitter.  It was a positive feedback loop - a "Twitter Mob" - of people speaking against Joe Rogan giving out health advice, as well as recent conversations regarding the pandemic and lockdowns.  This lead people to encourage boycotting Spotify - and it even lead to a decrease in Spotify's stock price.  This reminded me of the time Elon Musk was on JRE and "smoked" marijuana - which consequently lead to bad press and Tesla's stock price falling.  In this episode of the Plumley Podcast, I share my thoughts on why we need more freedom of speech, more diverse opinions and why we need to be more accepting of nuance in life.  ⚡Peace & Love Everyone! ❤ My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_ENK1C1809WD9HHLykh-g

When you think about retirement you have to consider your framework of the future you're envisioning.  Does our current outlook of typical "retirement" take into consideration the following:   Human lifespan increase, new currencies (crypto), future innovations, technology, etc...   Without a clear picture of what the world will be like 50 to 100 years from now, how can you know if your retirement plan will even work?   I think most people underestimate the changes that will take place within the next century.    Bottom line is: don't take retirement planning advice from banks, institutions, or family members who have an outdated perspective of the future.   What are YOUR thoughts on retirement? 👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_ENK1C1809WD9HHLykh-g
