Right now, as you read this, someone is profiting from your temporal poverty.
Not your lack of hours—you have the same 24 as everyone else. But your inability to position yourself in time the way venture capitalists do. While you execute in the present, they've already colonized the future. While you manage today's complexity, they're creating tomor... See more

This is the secret to time travel. You have to be the first one to the be the example that others can follow.
In early 2021, while most founders were chasing quick exits, I was laying the foundation for something more sustainable. The digital fingerprints are clear in my content DNA—establishing values and identity wasn't just personal branding. It was memetic groundwork.

“Wotan, the All-Father, understood that violence without wisdom leads to destruction, while wisdom without violence remains impotent. To gain true knowledge, he sacrificed himself to himself, hanging from the World Tree, Yggdrasil, for nine days and nights, wounded by his own spear. Only through this voluntary suffering, this self-inflicted wound,

This is the paradox of our time: the very tools designed to free us from labor are trapping us in an endless cycle of escalating work.

Yes.
3. Energy Usage: Neurons use energy for various functions, like transmitting signals, maintaining the balance of ions across their membranes, and synthesizing neurotransmitters and other molecules. Neuroenergetics examines how energy is utilized for these critical tasks.

How can we minimize the amount of energy we spend so we can maximize the energy spent on others?
2. Energy Distribution: The brain has a unique way of distributing energy. Unlike other cells in the body, neurons have long extensions (axons and dendrites), and they need to transport energy efficiently to these distant parts. Understanding how energy is transported and distributed in neurons is a key aspect of neuroenergetics.

1. Energy Production: This involves how the brain cells, or neurons, produce energy. Neurons are highly active cells that require a constant supply of energy. This energy is primarily produced through oxidative phosphorylation, a process similar to what happens in other body cells, where glucose and oxygen are used to produce ATP (adenosine triphos...
