51: Notes To Self

Yo, it’s Luke!

I’m heading back to Chicago next weekend / week. Holla at me!

That said, here is your weekly dose of 5 noteworthy ideas & things I learned about last week. Click on each link to dive further on that topic.

1. Ozempic For Sleep (isaak.net)

1% people only need 5 hrs of sleep.

Interesting.

And they experience no measurable detriment to their lives.

Okay, very interesting.

Oh and Mozart, Thomas Edison, Sigmund Freud, Margaret Thatcher, and Barack Obama all had this.

I’m hooked. I want it.

After genome sequencing people with it, researchers found that it’s usually caused by a few changes in single proteins.

If you think about it, a drug could fix this.

Helping the world get 8hrs of sleep in 5hrs would be pretty cool. Like really cool.

Gonna keep my eye on it and keep you looped in.

2. Things We Should Give Tax Credits To (Luke’s Thoughts)

Tax credits change millions of Americans’ behavior. Here’s 2 that make sense to me:

• Tax credit if you live in a city. Infra / gov’t support for these people is way cheaper.

• Tax credit if you’re under 25% body fat. Healthier people → fewer healthcare costs.

What else?

3. Craft Your Own Job (Anu Atluru)

I love this mentality and have seen lots of friends do it successfully.

Only pre-reqs are hustle and authenticity.

4. Jaw Dropping Image of Jupiter (Forbes)

NASA’s Juno spacecraft took an awesome pic of Jupiter in a recent fly by.

5. List of People With The Most Children (Wikipedia)

Even if this is close to true, it’s still ridiculous!

Look at the page yourself and just think what that life would actually be like.

Absolutely nuts. A few examples:

Thanks for wanting to know more today than you did yesterday! If you liked this edition, send it over to a friend who would like it too 🤝 

Cheers,

Luke
