    1. society produces “conformity” by enforcing conventional “names and customs” on the otherwise free (explicitly male and implicitly white) individual.

      When I read that “society produces conformity,” it feels like the world around me is constantly telling me who I’m supposed to be. It pushes certain names, labels, and traditions on me, even if they don’t fit who I really am.

    2. “social” pressure is applied to equally amorphous “individuals” who either succumb to that pressure or resist it by “being themselves

      society” as a vague force that pressures equally unclear “individuals.” It assumes everyone feels the same pressure and only has two choices: give in or “be themselves.” In reality, social pressure comes from specific sources like friends, family, media, or rules and people respond in many different ways.

    3. There are typically two reasons given for this antipathy. First, the term falsely implies universality (when you say “society,” do you really mean to refer to every single person in the world?)

      Writers should name specific groups instead of pretending the whole world agrees.

    1. the arguable thesis makes the reader want to keep reading.

      College papers require a thesis that someone could disagree with, and paragraphs that flow logically from one to the next.This is the main difference between high school and college writing. The thesis isn’t just a summary it drives the whole argument and keeps the reader interested. The organic structure makes the essay feel like a real conversation or exploration.

    2. the magic number of three: three reasons why a statement is true.

      High school essays often use three main reasons to support the thesis, each getting its own body paragraph.This shows how formulaic high school essays can be. The order of the reasons doesn’t really matter, so it’s predictable and safe but not very creative.

    3. Your professors are looking for a more ambitious and arguable thesis, a nuanced and compelling argument, and real-life evidence for all key points, all in an organically[1] structured paper.

      This section explains that a college thesis shouldn’t just state a fact it should be something someone could disagree with. It makes the essay more interesting and gives it a purpose.

    1. so common in student papers—represent the most prevalent misconception about introductions:

      Shows that many students waste space with vague intros

    2. every sentence is needed to thoroughly frame the thesis

      Emphasizes clarity and purpose in introductions. Thought I like this it makes writing feel focused and interesting.

    3. Training in the five-paragraph theme format seems to have convinced some student writers that beginning with substantive material will be too abrupt for the reader.

      This shows a common writing habit: students often begin with weak or unclear introductions because they think a paper needs a “slow start.” It reminds us that strong, clear opening sentences make a paper more interesting and show confidence in your ideas.

    1. Everyone knows that a thorough analysis and persuasive argument needs strong evidence.

      This reminds me that just saying stuff isn’t enough in essays. You need facts or quotes to back up your ideas

    2. Recall from prior chapters that writing academic papers is about joining a conversation.

      I like this because it makes writing feel less like homework and more like sharing your opinion with others.

    3. Graff and Birkenstein[1] encourage you to think about writing with sources is a “They Say/I Say” process.

      This is helpful because it shows how to mix what others think with what I think, so my essay has both evidence and my own ideas.

    1. Some guides advise you to end each paragraph with a specific concluding sentence, in a sense, to treat each paragraph as a kind of mini-essay. But that’s not a widely held convention

      This highlights a common misconception about paragraph structure. While some writing guides promote mini-conclusions, academic writing typically values forward momentum over tidy endings. A paragraph's purpose is to advance the argument set by the key sentence, not to wrap itself up like a small essay

    2. punctuation

      Calling paragraphs “punctuation” reframes them as structural signals rather than other choices. Like commas or semicolons, they guide how readers process relationships among ideas.

    3. The last sentence of the paragraph should certainly be in your own words

      This point stresses authorial control. Ending on a quote can let someone else's voice define your argument’s direction or tone. Finishing with your own phrasing ensures you maintain ownership of the analytical thread and guide the reader toward the next point.

    1. Based on these findings, we propose that the observed CDK6/CDK4 selectivity of 4 (PF-07220060) is the result of the rigidity of the CDK6 G-loop imposing a higher strain energy when accommodating the isopropyl alcohol group of 4 (PF-07220060) in the CDK6-ligand complex. In contrast, the flexibility of the CDK4s G-loop allows for a lower strain energy when accommodating this group. We postulate that this difference in strain energy contributes to the observed 26-fold selectivity for CDK4 over CDK6 selectivity of 4 (PF-07220060).

      实现CDK6/CDK4选择性的原因在于,CDK6 G-loop的刚性使其在容纳异丙醇基团时产生较高应变能的结果,CDK4的G-loop具有更强的灵活性,通过分子动力学模拟得出。CDK6 G-loop中三个残基(Glu18、Glu21和Lys26)之间存在两个盐桥

    2. These studies indicated that the methyl group at the 2-position of the benzimidazole could be a major site of oxidation. This observation is also consistent with the metabolism of the benzimidazole structure of abemaciclib

      阿贝西利苯并咪唑2位甲基的氧化是主要代谢方式

    3. The C5-position of the pyrimidine core of 6 is nicely positioned in the binding pocket for C5-substituents to extend toward GSK3β (Leu132)

      嘧啶环的C-5位取代基朝向守门员残基

    4. The two proteins share a high degree of sequence identity in the ATP-binding site (92%) with just four differences at positions equivalent to Glu21, Lys26, Thr106, and Gln149 of CDK6

      CDK4/6在ATP结合口袋的同源性高达92%,利用CDK6的突变体来构建CDK4与化合物的共晶

    5. This strategy is effective because CDK2 has a phenylalanine at this position (Phe82) and thus cannot form a productive hydrogen bond to the pyridyl moiety, resulting in a desolvation penalty and, thus, reduced binding affinity to CDK2

      降低与CDK2的亲和力的方式为在A环引入一个吡啶,增加与CDK4/6铰链区的His的氢键,而CDK2铰链区的为苯丙氨酸,无法形成额外的氢键

    6. The mechanism behind the development of neutropenia with CDK4/6 inhibitors is related to the role of CDK6 in hematopoiesis.

      CDK4/6抑制剂造成中性粒细胞减少症的原因在于CDK6在造血功能中的作用

    1. Index cards are important tools, particularly if you're going through a thousand or more a month. I tend toward the cheapest ones I can find and am always half tempted to bulk order them in pallet quantity from somewhere to get a steep discount, especially as I've got filing cabinet storage space for another 40,000 4x6 index cards readily at hand.

      I looked more closely at the Wexfords I just picked up and they are made in India. Comparatively my Staples branded cards are also made in India, while the Amazon Basics and Oxford cards are made in the United States.

      As for line quality, the most consistent I've seen are the Stockroom Cards designed in California, but made in China. Oxford has been generally solid and Amazon lines have been occasionally hit and miss.

      About a year ago, the local Amazon Fresh store had dozens of their 500 card packs listed for an overly reasonable $2.50 each (half a penny per card), so I picked up about 15,000 cards at a time when they were usually in the $12-15 range online. They're presently at a near annual best of $7.45 (about 1.5 cents per card). At $3.50 for 100, the Wexfords ran almost twice as expensive at 3.5 cents per card. I suspect tariffs are likely affecting the price of foreign cards more heavily lately.

      I've not really tried out any listed as "flashcards", so I can't comment on the prices or quantities there. Some of the ones I have seen tended to the more expensive side, so I've passed on them.

      Good luck in your continued search.

    1. In 2008 we worried that:- It might become cheaper to live in a home.- Wall Street might shrink as a share of the economy.- The corrupt Big 3 automakers might get out of the way of well-run companies like Hyundai and TeslaThe Fed made more money to prevent this good outcome.
    2. For this reason, in the 2008 financial crisis, the Big Three automakers were bailed out, even though there were plenty of more efficiently run foreign companies happy to sell cars to Americans.

      Let me see if I got this right,

      The Car Companies were bailed out because if they could not pay back their debt it would cause a chain reaction. It wasn't just about the jobs disappearing and causing a chain reaction, it was the effect the bankruptcy would have on the banks balance sheets and how they would have to respond to said balance sheets.

    3. which can increase their paper profitability yet again without any improvement in the efficiency of real resource usage.

      This sounds like a Externality to me, a unaccounted effect on the human lived experience that does not show up int he money documents.

    4. This sort of opportunity would not exist if there were an adequate supply of potential entrepreneurs with access to capital.

      This seems like a loaded statement, let's break it down.

      If the laundromats were all independently owned this math would not work. The capacity to leverage oneself to buyout companies is a privilege of a specific caste.

      This reminds me of the story about how Pornhub (Mindgeek), being a tech company not a porn company, was a member of this specific caste. Pornhub, like youtube at the time, allowed anyone to upload whatever copyrighted material they wanted to share for free. This put the porn producing companies all out of business because no one bought their product since it was on Pornhub for free. As these porn producing companies went brankupt, Pornhub, with access to cheap debt was able to buy them all up.

    5. Housing is an informal part of what economists would call the money supply.

      Bro I have never seen this concept stated so bluntly. England, Australia, and Canada all have Housing Pricing affordability problems. That probably just means they are mindlessly printing money, which is part of Managed Decline

    6. Forgetting about down payments, suppose the effective rate of interest on a house is 20%. Then someone with a housing budget of $10,000 per year can afford a house priced at up to $50,000. But if the rate of interest goes down to 5%, then that person's leveraged purchasing power goes up to $200,000. Thus, as mortgage rates declined over time along with Treasury rates, the value of real estate increased over time.

      Yea trumps 50-year mortgages are probably going to mess with housing prices quite a bit. It's subsidizing the elites. I wonder why he decided to do that, do you have any idea why?

      Some ideas, * 50 year mortgages reduce monthly payments for working class home buyers, even thought the bank makes way more money * The USA is printing money and this is where some of it has to go * Boomers need exit liquidity, if home prices decide every boomer with a reverse mortgage is gonna end up without a home

    7. Medicaid, hospital care can be financially ruinous unless you have a "good job," which will usually be the kind of job one holds due not to competence but to class privilege

      I like to think that Blue Collar workers get healthcare in the United States. Do they not? Are there any info graphics or studies that illustrate who in America has what levels of health care coverage?

    8. If you are able to demonstrate dependency via unemployability, then you can access housing and food subsidies that are probably enough to live decently on if you are diligent and clever, though in practice bureaucrats might threaten you with withdrawal of those resources if you don't demonstrate a level of shame incompatible with economic prudence.

      What would an example of this "shame" bureaucrats might threaten the poors with?

    9. As debt increases over time, more resources are allocated on the basis not of cash profits, but of access to capital, i.e. ability to borrow (or issue stock) at low effective rates of interest.

      Robert Kiyosaki knows this game quite well and has leveraged himself to 1.2 Billion Dollars in debt.

      He likes to say, if you have a million dollar loan and can't pay it back, you have a problem, but if you have a billion dollar loan and can't pay it back, the bank has a problem.

    10. Instead, publicly traded corporations are able to pay more than private competitors for leases and talent and charge consumers less because they have access to cheap capital, and are optimizing not for profits, but for growth. In other words, their interest in expanding their business is not to increase total profits, but to increase total expenditures.

      Ohhh this right here is the real thesis, there is a caste of people with access to cheap capital and another caste of people without access to cheap capital. These different castes are playing different games but they both operate for survival in the same world.

      Do you agree with this interpretation of the text?

    11. In the old regime, they were accountable. In the new regime, they are instead asked to obey and conform, i.e. pass the Milgram and Asch tests respectively.

      There's a name for this trend. Atomization? What name would you give it?

    12. His daughter sees that her father's way of life is financially unsustainable, and also sees herself as only a financial burden to him, not a potentially productive asset.

      Modernity my dude, Modern Urban Living inverts the value of Children, on the farm Children were assets, in cities they are expenses.

      I have heard of Curtis Yarvin describe children in Urban settings basically functioning as "expensive furniture" in his Gray Mirror block, I can't find the exact one right now.

    13. A local entrepreneur I know tells me that a well-run coffee shop in a well-chosen location can pay for itself (recoup the initial investment) within a year, while an investor in the stock market is doing well if they double their money in nine years.

      This is a financial anecdote I have never heard of. Do you know how I can discover and make these kind of small business investments?

    14. The television series Thirteen Reasons Why is a story told within the frame of a high school student's audiocasette suicide note, which describes an experience of high school that was not preparing her to serve any useful function in society

      Not gonna lie, this description of the 13 Reasons Why has me sold on watching the show. I also felt like high school was not preparing her to serve any useful function in society.

      If what we learned in highschool was really that useful we would retain some of it, let's get some kids in their late 20's and provide them the exact same tests they did in highschool and see how they do on them.

      It's amazing how useful something like Home Ec would be to the average person compared to mindless Science and Math. I do consider "Science and Math" to the average person to be mindless pursuits because their lives after high school don't resonate with what they learned in school.

      If people spent as much time learning cooking, not nutrition out of a dam book but actual cooking and nutrition with food that you can actually eat, instead of the Periodic Table I bet Obesity would be less of a problem in the West.

    15. I was able to explain to Shawanna - and demonstrate by my failed attempt to have a conversation with Ann - that Ann can't listen to Shawanna, not because Shawanna is black, but because Ann can't listen to anything that might hold her accountable.

      Ah A Child, she is acting like a child

    16. But Ann's class performance rendered her in need of coddling, mentally incompetent to handle criticism.

      There has to be a name for this archetype of person, do you know what it might be?

    17. underwriting loans based on the kinds of fundamentals a bank might use before the existence of empiricist credit scores.

      Ancedotal thought, do we know how these credit score algorithms work? Like is there a reference design, design document, open source implementation out there so we can take a look inside the system.

      It would be interesting to use this "Open Source Implementation" with agent based modeling

    18. asked Ann whether she had considered designing an alternative system of credit on a for-profit basis - in other words, lending to formerly incarcerated people not because they are in need, but because they might be creditworthy. She didn't recognize that as an option, responded as though I had said she should not underwrite based on "risk" at all, and asserted without argument the moral superiority of credit unions over for-profit banks.

      Sounds like a business opportunity to me, compete with the money marts and other short term loan companies online. Leveraging the white listed ex criminals who did the financial literacy course and other "Social Credit" activities makes business sense.

    1. Grading student writing is generally the hardest, most intensive work instructors do.[3] With every assignment they give you, professors assign themselves many, many hours of demanding and tedious work that has to be completed while they are also preparing for each class meeting, advancing their scholarly and creative work, advising students, and serving on committees.

      This shows professors spend a lot of time grading, not just giving assignments randomly. Knowing this can help students appreciate their effort and take the work more seriously. It reminds us that assignments aren’t busywork—they matter.

    2. “You don’t write to teachers, you write for them.

      Writing for a teacher is hard because you’re trying to explain something you’re still learning to someone who already understands it better than you.

    3. When you write for a teacher you are usually swimming against the stream of natural communication. The natural direction of communication is to explain what you understand to someone who doesn’t understand it. But in writing an essay for a teacher your task is usually to explain what you are still engaged in trying to understand to someone who understands it better.

      This point is valuable because it clarifies why students frequently find academic writing to be awkward. Although your reader is already familiar with the subject, you are expected to sound confident about concepts you are still learning. It emphasizes how writing for college can be stressful or perplexing because it isn't communication in the real world. Comprehending this discrepancy enables students to unwind and recognize that the difficulty is inherent in the system rather than a reflection of their aptitude.

    1. Highly privileged people went to these universities as students, but they didn’t really attend classes, write papers, and take exams like college students today. Instead they acted as independent, though novice, scholars: they read everything they could find in their areas of interest, attended lectures that expert scholars gave, and, if they were lucky (and perhaps charming), got some feedback from those scholars on their own work or assisted scholars in theirs

      The fact that early university students did not have classes, assignments, or exams like contemporary students may surprise and intrigue a freshman. Rather, they were treated almost like novice scholars, reading, attending lectures by experts, and interacting directly with eminent intellectuals. This demonstrates how the role of students has completely changed over time and stands in stark contrast to the structured coursework of today.

    2. 89 percent of employers say that colleges and universities should place more emphasis on “the ability to effectively communicate orally and in writing.

      “Most employers almost 9 out of 10 think colleges should focus more on teaching students how to speak and write clearly.

    3. Research shows that deliberate practice—that is, close focus on improving one’s skills—makes all the difference in how one performs.

      This sentence introduces the idea of deliberate practice, highlighting the fact that intentional, focused work—rather than just producing more text—is what leads to better writing. This concept is used by the author to support the idea that students should continue honing their writing abilities in college, even if they already write a lot.

    4. You may have even performed so well in high school that you’re deemed fully competent in college level writing and are now excused from taking a composition course. So why spend yet more time and attention on writing skills?

      So even though you may think or feel that you are overly competent in a college level of reading and writing, yet there has never been a perfect paper done. There is no perfect level or writing or reading there is always going to be a paper thats better so therefore there is alwasy room for improving your skills.

    1. What makes a complex line of thinking easy to follow? The tricks of cohesion and coherence, discussed in Chapter 6, are a big help. Williams and Bizup offer another key point. They explain that readers experience writing as clear when the “character” of a sentence is also its grammatical subject

      I find this super practical It’s basically teaching that every sentence should show the main actor and action clearly. I can see how using this makes technical writing way easier to read and understand. I need to practice this in my essays to avoid confusing readers.

    2. One approach that often leads to a difficult writing process and a clunky result is the pursuit of “academese”

      This is really helpful because it shows that professors don’t want complicated words just to sound smart. Using simple, clear language actually makes your ideas stronger. I sometimes overthink words to sound “fancy,” but this reminds me that clarity is more important than sounding scholarly.

    3. Focusing first or only on sentence-level issues is a troublesome approach.

      I like this because it reminds me that worrying too much about fancy sentences can actually hurt your writing. It makes sense that if your overall argument is strong, the sentences almost write themselves. It feels less stressful knowing I can fix sentence stuff after I have a solid plan.

    1. knowledge base of grassroots initiatives

      I feel like you can work on the wording here, like use the phrase knowledge base of grassroots initiatives in actual conversation with normal every day people.

    1. Good writers write to win. As such, rhetorical appeals underlie much of the successful persuasive writing in society, whether in the form of written arguments, television commercials, or educational campaigns. As previously discussed, some thoughtful, strategic anti-smoking campaigns have reduced smoking-related diseases and death. Additionally, Ariel Chernin, advertising researcher, observes that a large body of literature proves that food marketing affects children’s food preferences. Similarly, appealing to logos, pathos, ethos, and kairos in your persuasive writing can help you achieve your goals. Approaching rhetorical appeals from the inside out—from the perspective of the writer—one can note their effectiveness in persuasive writing, and one can write to win.

      I want to win and become a good writer and make people want to dig deeper into my stories and even have a bit of humor at the right times.

    2. Writers may employ several methods to appeal to pathos. Read “Pathos” to explore several suggestions which include: Referring to other emotionally compelling stories. Citing stark, startling statistics that will invoke a specific emotion in audience members. Showing empathy and/or understanding for an opposing view. Using humor, if appropriate.

      I like this idea because it makes the reader want to dive deeper into the story and make it actually interesting.

    3. Often times ads for medical products or even chewing gum might say that four out of five doctors/dentists recommend a certain product. Some commercials may even show a doctor in a white lab coat approving whatever is for sale. Now, provided that the person you are viewing is an actual doctor, this might be an example of a good ethos argument. On the other hand, if an automotive company uses a famous sports figure to endorse a product, we might wonder what that person knows about this product. The campaign and celebrity are not being used to inform the consumer, but rather to catch their attention with what is actually a faulty example of ethos.

      I never knew this. Now i want to pay attention to more commercials and see if its good ethos.

    4. Every time we write, we engage in debate or argument. Through writing and speaking, we try to persuade and influence our readers, either directly or indirectly. We work to get them to change their minds, to do something, or to begin thinking in new ways. Put simply, to be effective, every writer needs to know, and be able to use, principles of rhetoric.

      I like how this is kind of an intro or a little definition to make the rest of this article easier to read.

    1. Correlating with the EEGs, Dr. Law and her colleagues found that with every hour increase in average screen time, the children had more difficulties with attention and struggled more with executive functioning. However, because screen time is just one aspect of an infant’s environment, it is likely that multiple factors come into play, such as the quality of time with parents, the researchers say. It’s also possible that more active infants unintentionally receive more screen time as their parents try to manage their daily routines.

      impotant evadance

    2. The more time the children had spent with screens at 12 months of age, the stronger were their slower-frequency brain waves, known as theta waves, compared with high-frequency beta waves.

      key argment

    3. “The infant brain thrives on enriching interactions with the environment, and excessive infant screen time can reduce opportunities for real-world interactions that are important for brain development,”

      Key agment

    4. But a new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school.

      Main Point

    1. "modernización",

      Creo que hace falta más hincapié en el aspecto regresivo y hacen falta más que comillas para desarticular la potencia de la palabra "modernización" que, no por nada, es la elegida para presentar esta reforma. Sugiero no usar la palabra modernización a menos que este acompañada por nuestra propia definición que podría ser, simplemente, "retroceso" laboral.

    1. We saw block-based editors as the future, not just for productivity but for social interactions. We centered Anytype on unique and extendable primitives: objects, types and relations. Why couldn’t a page be a blog post, a forum thread or some other object? Why not connect everything in a unified graph database, viewable as sets and collections? We were thrilled with the possibilities, though the complexity was immense.

      Es interesante esta generalidad desde los bloques (objetos, tipos y relaciones, que se juntan en un grafo). Los Dumems en Cardumem son otra forma de generalización desde el hipertexto programable (gracias al scripting en YueScript) y los metadatos personalizables que permiten las tablas de Lua.

      Sin embargo, para disminuir la complejidad y aumentar la practicidad, en Cardumem no apuntamos a tecnologías de la llamada web 3.0, sino que usamos las buenas y confliables web 2.0 con algo de retrofuturismo en los sistemas hipermedia.

    1. I really liked this article, placing human attention in the realm of natural resources extracted by "Investors" is a novel idea I had never heard of before.

      The idea of attention as a mineable resource hits really well given the context provided in this article. First presenting the limited resources of Coal, Trees, Fish, and Oil really helps paint a tangible feeling to help put the idea that "Attention is finite".

      Not using the word capitalism in the article a single time and instead using "Investor", "MBA Prodigies" really helps paint the picture, I believe Capitalism is a very loaded word and appreciate the word choice.

      I think that this as a stand alone piece works great, but it's got me thinking. It speaks to one emotionally which is very important. There is more to be done in digesting the meme, "Attention as a mineable resource". For example, What really is attention, why it is valuable, what are products it defines, what is the history of attention as a mineable resource. These questions would be a good starting off point for future discussion. For example we think of Facebook and Tik tok as attention mining systems, but before the internet we also has TV(Idiot Box), Magazine, Taboilds, and News Papers as systems of mining attention. There's a fun "The Medium is the Message" allegory to be made here I don't quite have the media literacy to articulate.

    2. But what if you didn’t need to wait for nature? What if you manufactured the dependency in days and provided the relief in minutes? Create the craving, sell the satisfaction. Scale that across millions of people. The formation time collapses to nothing. The extraction becomes continuous.

      This reminds me of Soma (Brave New World) - Wikipedia

    3. What happens when you deplete human psychology? When the substrate itself changes because you’ve extracted from it too aggressively?

      You end up with a population that can't read I guess, what do you think future reader of this article?

    4. The ability to focus deeply is finite. We’re not extracting rocks from the ground. We’re extracting cognitive capacity from people. And unlike oil, which you can stop pumping, this extraction is continuous. Every human, every day, having their attention harvested.

      So we are basically witnessing the creation of the Borg or is it more like the Matrix? Something seems to be happening

      • The Heart of the Active vs. Sedentary Person

        • The heart of an active individual undergoes positive adaptive changes and ages slower compared to the heart of someone with a sedentary lifestyle [00:03:04].
        • In people over 40, a sedentary heart tends to be less elastic, slightly thicker, and fills with blood less efficiently (diastolic dysfunction) [00:03:35].
        • For endurance athletes, the heart’s chambers enlarge (increased volume), which is a positive, physiological change, enabling it to fill and pump blood more effectively [00:04:27].
        • Active people have more elastic arteries, which helps maintain healthy blood pressure. In contrast, inactive people develop stiff, calcified arteries, which increases blood pressure and susceptibility to damage and plaque formation [00:05:24].
        • Exercise promotes the development of collateral circulation (new blood vessels). This helps protect the heart muscle by supplying blood via alternative routes during an event like a heart attack, often resulting in less severe damage [01:06:17].
      • Activity and Atherosclerosis

        • Physical activity acts similarly to statins by stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques [00:09:28]. It helps transform soft, rupture-prone (vulnerable) plaques into hard, fibrous, and calcified plaques, significantly reducing the risk of a heart attack or stroke [00:10:14].
        • Plaques do not disappear completely, as no known medicine or diet can "clean out" the arteries; the goal is stabilization and prevention of new plaques [00:09:39].
      • The Optimal Protocol for Heart Health

        • Regularity is the absolute key to cardiovascular benefits. The type or intensity of the activity is less important than consistency [01:31:42].
        • Weekend Warrior Principle: Research now shows that completing the required weekly volume of activity (a few hours) over the weekend provides the same health benefits as spreading it out daily [01:52:07], [00:00:08].
        • Intensity Mix: For maximizing health benefits, most of your training should be at a moderate intensity (a pace where you can comfortably hold a conversation, around 5-6 out of 10 on the perceived exertion scale) [01:46:25], [01:46:42].
        • High-Intensity Training (HIT) is effective for saving time, as it achieves the same health effects in a shorter duration, but it does not provide significantly greater health benefits than longer, moderate-intensity training [01:46:01], [01:47:14].
      • Non-Training Activity and VO2 Max

        • Non-training activity (e.g., taking the stairs, cleaning, parking further away) is crucial because every movement adds up and counteracts the sedentary nature of modern life [01:18:59].
        • Step Count: Focus on making steps count by including portions of brisk walking or climbing that cause a light sweat or quickened breath [02:22:04]. While optimal step counts vary (8,000–12,000+), any increase from a sedentary baseline (3,000-4,000) provides benefits [02:28:40].
        • VO2 Max and Longevity: Maximal oxygen uptake \(VO_2\) is considered one of the strongest predictors of longevity, as it measures the entire system’s function (lungs, circulation, muscle uptake) [01:34:51].
        • Training at any age builds this "capital," which helps counteract the natural decline in capacity (about 1 MET per decade), ensuring a higher level of functional fitness later in life [01:33:09].
      • Regeneration and Safety

        • Regeneration: The greatest health benefits occur between workouts. Exercise provides the stimulus, but the positive changes—like lowering blood pressure and metabolic adjustments—happen during the rest and recovery period [01:50:29], [01:51:25].
        • Monitoring (HRV): Parameters like Heart Rate Variability (HRV) from smartwatches should be treated as supplemental information. They are highly sensitive to stress, illness, and sleep, but they are not a reliable medical indicator. Always listen to your body and your self-assessed fatigue level over a watch [02:55:09].
        • Medical Screening: For people planning very intense training or competitive events, a basic medical check-up is recommended. This should include assessing family history of heart disease, checking risk factors (blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose), and performing an EKG [02:01:15], [02:02:01], [02:07:07]. Avoid self-ordering large, expensive "sports packages" of tests, as they often lead to false-positive results and unnecessary worry [02:03:04].
      • Final Key Message

        • The single most important factor for long-term health is regularity. Choose an activity that is enjoyable, sustainable, and that you can imagine yourself doing consistently at 60 or 70 years old [03:09:05].
    1. If the Woodstock music festival of August 1969 captured the idealism of the sixties youth culture, the Altamont concert the following December revealed its dark side.

      Concerts reflected youth culture’s optimism and creativity, but also its violence, chaos, and social unrest.

    2. Neil Armstrong’s “Giant leap for mankind” fulfilled the promise of the late John F. Kennedy, who had declared in 1961 that the United States would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade.

      The moon landing showed U.S. technological achievement and victory in the space race against the USSR.

    3. Johnson had already managed passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960 as Senate Majority Leader.

      Johnson’s long experience, political skill, and knowledge of Congress allowed him to pass major legislation effectively.

    4. Fifty million Americans watching a star-studded courtroom drama about Nazi atrocities instead watched uniformed Americans behaving like German storm troopers, following orders to brutalize their fellow Americans.

      Televised violence shocked viewers, showing peaceful protesters being attacked, highlighting racial injustice in the United States.

    1. “They ain’t gonna go to school with my kids,” Milam said.

      Many whites resisted integration to maintain racial hierarchy and prevent social mixing in schools.

    2. the war and the Double V campaign for victory against fascism abroad and racism at home led to rising expectations for many African Americans.

      African Americans demanded more equality, challenging segregation and inspiring activism during the 1950s.

    3. The system included nearly 47,000 miles of highway, and the project was designed to be self-liquidating, so that the cost of building highways did not contribute to the national debt.

      Unlike railroads, highways were built for cars, funded by the government, and didn’t increase the national debt.

    4. Without paved roads to run on, there would have been far fewer cars and trucks built and sold in America, and their impact on society and the environment would have been much different.

      Better transportation, like highways, allowed more cars, boosting jobs, spending, and overall American wealth.

    1. The European Recovery Program or “Marshall Plan” pumped money into Western Europe.

      Marshall Plan rebuilt economies: NATO provided military security—Marshall Plan stabilized Europe more effectively long term.

    2. The issues that drove the conflict between the two superpowers strongly suggest the point was power rather than ideology.

      Beyond ideology, both nations wanted global influence and control over strategic regions and resources.

    3. The Soviet Union was among the fifty charter UN member-states and was given one of five seats alongside the “Four Policemen” (the United States, Britain, France, and China) on the Security Council.

      Unlike the League, the UN included major powers with permanent Security Council seats and veto power.

    4. There could be no cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union, Kennan wrote. Instead, the Soviets had to be “contained.”

      Kennan believed the USSR’s expansion threatened peace, so the U.S. needed to stop its influence.

    1. By the end of the 1930s, Roosevelt and his Democratic Congresses had transformed American government and realigned politics.

      Roosevelt’s direct communication helped Americans trust him and support New Deal programs and reforms.

    2. many New Deal programs were built on the assumption that men would be the breadwinners and women mothers, homemakers, and consumers.

      Programs assumed men earned money and women stayed home, limiting women’s access to economic benefits.

    3. Running for reelection and facing rising opposition from both the left and the right, Roosevelt adopted a more radical, aggressive approach to poverty,

      Critics felt Roosevelt’s radical programs gave too much federal power, possibly violating the Constitution.

    4. During World War I he oversaw voluntary rationing as the head of the U.S. Food Administration and after the armistice served as the director-general of the American Relief Association in Europe.

      Hoover had experience helping people during crises, so Americans thought he could handle the Depression.

    1. Hoover focused on economic growth and prosperity. As secretary of commerce under Harding and Coolidge, he claimed credit for the sustained economic growth seen during the 1920s. Hoover boasted in 1928 that America had never been closer to eliminating poverty.

      People liked Hoover because he promised more wealth and a better standard of living.

    2. To deliver on his promises of stability and prosperity, Harding signed legislation to restore a high protective tariff and eliminated the last wartime controls over industry.

      People liked Republicans because they promised safety, steady jobs, and strong business support after the war.

    3. The decade so reshaped American life that it is remembered by many names: the New Era, the Jazz Age, the Age of the Flapper, the Prosperity Decade, and, most commonly, the Roaring Twenties.

      Life was changing fast with new music, movies, and jobs, so voters wanted things to feel familiar again.

    4. Harding had won a landslide victory by promising a “return to normalcy.”

      People liked this idea because they were tired of war and big changes and wanted life to feel calm and normal again.

    1. Missionary women played a central role in cultural reeducation programs that tried to not only instill Protestant religion but also to impose traditional American gender roles and family structures.

      This shows that assimilation focused on controlling social structures, but it ignored the deep cultural roots of Native communities, limiting its effectiveness.

    2. Throughout the 1850s, the Dakota of the Minnesota River Valley had grown increasingly frustrated by broken treaty promises and missed annuity payments by the U.S. government.

      This shows that unfair treatment and unfulfilled agreements by the U.S. government created economic hardship and anger among the Dakota people.

    3. The party’s leaders found it difficult to shepherd what remained a diverse and loosely organized coalition of reformers toward unified political action.

      Internal divisions made it hard for Populists to maintain a consistent national strategy and message.

    4. “Wall Street owns the country,” the Populist leader Mary Elizabeth Lease told dispossessed farmers around 1890. “It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street.”

      This shows that Populists gained support by tapping into widespread frustration with economic inequality and corporate power, giving farmers and laborers a voice against elites.

    1. Taylor said, firms needed a scientific organization of mass production. He urged all manufacturers to increase efficiency by subdividing tasks. Rather than having thirty mechanics individually making thirty machines, for instance, a manufacturer could assign thirty laborers to perform thirty distinct tasks. The workers would complete their individual tasks more quickly and with greater precision, since their attention would be focused. Such a shift would not only make workers as interchangeable as the parts they were using, it would also dramatically speed up the process of production.

      Investors and managers liked Taylorism because it increased productivity, reduced labor costs, and made output more predictable, which meant higher profits.

    2. Skills mattered less and less in an industrialized, mass-producing economy, and their strength as individuals seemed ever smaller and less significant when companies grew in size and power

      This indicates that as industries expanded and machines took on more tasks, individual workers’ specialized skills became less crucial, thereby reducing their bargaining power and making jobs easier to replace.

    3. the war and its aftermath catalyzed a widespread increase in federal power at the expense of state and local control.

      This shows that the civil war forced the federal government to take on more authority, weakening state power to manage the nation during and after the war.
