Technophobe··on Fitness Crazed
I'm much happier since I've stopped lifting. I did Starting Strength until I could squat 1.5x my body weight, but I never enjoyed going to the gym, and realized I didn't really care much for the muscle I put on. If anything, it was annoying having such big thighs. I haven't been to the gym for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier. I do quite a bit of cardio (competitive table tennis), and that's it.

Technophobe··on Sleep Flushes Toxins from the Brain
How can you enjoy something you're not conscious of? What you likely enjoy is the 5-30 minutes as you're falling asleep, and the 5-60 minutes as you're waking up.

If we could get the actual sleeping time to 1 minute, but keep the rest the same, surely that would be strictly better in terms of human utility.

Why did you include in the fact that he's a libertarian? Libertarians are not against the use of force (unless it's through the state).
