Cutting glucose and glutamine may starve tumours
Short · tiktok.com · Issue #172
Mice and patients get calorie restriction, plus specific drugs that target glutamine
Summary
Restricting glucose and glutamine while moving the body into ketosis starves tumor cells, the speaker argues.
The speaker describes a cancer approach that restricts glucose and glutamine, the two fuels tumors depend on, while shifting the body to ketone bodies. Calorie restriction lowers blood sugar, and specific drugs target glutamine. The speaker says normal cells burn ketones effectively, while tumor cells with poor mitochondria cannot, so the tumors slowly die.
Key points- Mice and patients get calorie restriction, plus specific drugs that target glutamine
- Normal cells burn ketone bodies well, but tumor cells with bad mitochondria cannot
- The speaker says tumors slowly die as their blood vessels disappear and the body clears them

Summary
Texting one to three friends a good morning every day builds safety and acceptance through reliable expectations.
The speaker says one of the best ways to improve your life is to have one to three friends you text every morning, and who text you back.

Justify work with outcomes, not plans or tools
Short · tiktok.com · Issue #171
Leaders who think strategically often slide into their team's plans and schedules
Summary
To sound strategic, justify your work with outcomes and business impact, not with plans, schedules and tools.
The speaker advises leaders who are told they lack strategic thinking to stay at the outcome level. Justify work by its results, impact on the business, and effect on the bottom line, and avoid tactical detail such as tools, plans, and schedules unless pressed. Discussing details invites second-guessing and weakens credibility. Bosses usually want to know the project will be handled, not how.
Key points- Leaders who think strategically often slide into their team's plans and schedules
- Going into tactical detail invites second-guessing and hurts your credibility
- Give details only when pressed, because bosses mostly want the project handled

Love of fate means accepting everything
Short · tiktok.com · Issue #168
Life involves loss, illness and betrayal, and complaining means you do not accept it
Summary
Love of fate means accepting everything that happens, since pain and loss are part of life.
Robert Greene explains amor fati, meaning love of fate: loving everything that happens to you as a way of learning and toughening yourself. He says life involves pain, loss, illness, and betrayal.

Speed gains shrink at higher speeds
Short · tiktok.com · Issue #168
A paceometer shows the minutes needed to travel 10 miles at each speed
Summary
Speed gains shrink at higher speeds: 20 to 30 mph saves about 10 minutes per 10 miles, while 80 to 90 saves about one.
The speaker explains the paceometer, a dial showing minutes to cover 10 miles at the current speed. Its numbers are uneven: speeding up from 20 to 30 miles per hour saves about 10 minutes, while going from 70 to 80 saves about one. Speeding to recover a few minutes can gain only about one, and beyond a comfortable 65 or 70, the extra risk buys almost no time.
Key points- A paceometer shows the minutes needed to travel 10 miles at each speed
- Once you reach a comfortable 65 or 70, going faster saves little time
- Extra speed adds risk to yourself and others for almost no time saved, the speaker says

The speaker says 5 a.m. is an unforgiving hour for people with hard circumstances, such as commuters, marathon runners, and parents of newborns. The speaker does not see themselves in those groups, since their deadlines are self-imposed. They prefer the hour because the world falls quiet and there is just enough light to find what you're looking for.
Key points- The speaker says they are not commuters, marathon runners or insomniacs, yet the hour suits them
- Their deadlines are self-imposed, and they are not into life optimization
- Other hours have their own light, sound and scent, but this one is quieter

You are paid for value, not time, so become more valuable by working on yourself before your job.
