woozi talking about mingyu and s.coups' drinking habits #민규 🍑 there's a really funny drinking habit [that some of our members have]. we have coups hyung and mingyu, the members who really love to drink. they really drink alcohol often, but what's the problem is that... when coup hyung drinks and starts to get a bit tipsy, he's the type to express his disappointment or sadness over something. on the other hand, mingyu is the positivity king! "ah hyung you just gotta do it what can we do!" so they always drink and they always fight! but the next day they're all good, and then drink the next day and fight again until dawn!

Andrew Huberman: "You have a pulse of cortisol every 24 hours, a "quote unquote" stress hormone. It's not a bad hormone; it's a great hormone. But you need it released at its highest levels early in the day. How do you do that? Sunlight in your eyes increases that peak by about 50%. If you're not doing that, you start running into trouble. Studies from Stanford School of Medicine show that if that cortisol peak is shifted later in the day, you start experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, failure to sleep, and the whole thing cascades." Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

How Does Alcohol Affect Your Health? A new study (PMID: 38289182) examined the effect of alcohol consumption on health & this study attempted to correct some of the issues with earlier studies. Many studies include ‘false abstainers’ which are people who do not currently drink alcohol, but used to drink a lot. In these studies, it’s common to see that light to moderate drinking appears to have a protective effect on health, but this may be because people who drink ‘no alcohol’ in these studies, many of them used to be heavy drinkers who now abstain & thus they may have underlying health issues from their previous drinking. This study attempted to isolate out TRUE abstainers from alcohol consumption as controls to compare to light/moderate/heavy drinking The takehome of this study was that low amounts of alcohol are not protective, but they also do not appear to be very detrimental either. When we say low, that was defined as between 1 drink per week & 2 drinks per day. Intakes of alcohol above this showed linear increases in mortality risk The take home is we know alcohol is not great for you. At low intakes the risk is probably pretty small, but you probably should minimize drinking as much as possible if you’d like to reduce your risk of mortality

Be careful about stacking stimulants and exercise. Energy drinks, caffeine, and nicotine can improve motivation and performance, but they also cause high-amplitude dopamine release with minimal to zero effort. When you use a stimulant, you might feel more motivated to workout. But in the absence of the stimulant, your motivation levels are likely to plummet. If you need a stimulant for every workout, you’re creating a pattern of behavior that won’t serve you well in the long run. Listen as Dr. Andrew Huberman (Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.) describes how he uses caffeine to enhance his workout quality while preventing it from becoming a crutch. Check out the post below for a link to the full episode!

This bit from Rick Rubin and Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. reminded me of the composers of early Nintendo games. Three voices. A drum track. And they still had to fit in the jumping sounds, the coin sounds, all of it. They made some of the most recognizable music ever written. Final Fantasy. Zelda. Mario... They faked echoes with volume shifts. They doubled the bass as a drum. They just figured it out. "There is something about making the version that you can make with the means that you have that adds something real to the project that may be better than the one that has a lot of money thrown at it." - Rick Rubin Also, Huberman recorded his first episodes in a closet... Constraints don't ruin the work. They make it.

“Terrorists, even when they are five, actually do harm, and people take that seriously. So FDLR, why no one would take them seriously, knowing their history, and knowing they are associated with a government in DRC. You have heard of hate speech and all kinds of things. Still, the issue becomes how many would they be? It is falsifying the issue of numbers; they are many, that’s a fact. But the essence of saying how many is like saying you are exaggerating. I have been asked by some leaders of Europe, how many are they likely to be? When somebody asks me that, I know he is interested in covering up the problem. When you talk about FDLR, the resolutions and statements at the UN are like a whisper. It is like Rwanda should not be taking action against them, as if they are not connected with the whole history or their responsibility in what they did here.” President Kagame

I think about this twice a day. Every morning when I sit down to read & again when I begin to work, I say to myself, “Accept the initial agitation.” When you try to focus, Andrew Huberman explains, “the brain circuits that turn on first are of the stress system.” Meaning: “The agitation and stress that you feel at the beginning of something—when you’re trying to lean into it and you can’t focus: you feel agitated and your mind’s jumping all over the place—that is just a gate. You have to pass through that gate to get to the focus component.” There’s a common misconception, Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. continues: “the misunderstanding around how these brain circuits work has led to this idea...a kind of obsession with the idea that we have to feel good in order to be productive.” “And nothing could be further from the truth.” The truth is it’s the reverse: we have to be productive—we have to start working, we have to lean in and get going, accepting the initial agitation—in order to feel good. So along with “accept the initial agitation,” sometimes—when I don’t feel especially good, motivated, interested, or energized—I say to myself, “Forget how you feel right now.” “It will feel good,” Huberman says, “but there’s a whole staircase in which it feels kind of lousy...The early stages of hard work and focus are always going to feels like agitation, stress, and confusion.” “Remember: there’s a gate of entry. You have to wade through some sewage before you can swim in clear water. That’s the way I always think about it.” - - - “Mood follows action.” — richroll The clip below is from Andrew’s 2020 interview on Rich’s podcast (

How to navigate relationships as a high performer: "I make sure that my family has everything they need so they can leave me the fuck alone." "I let people know right up front I'm not what you want in a man." "I tried for so many years to please people and I did it at the expense of myself. When you do that, you stop living." "Why are you scared to tell a motherfucker, your wife, your husband, who you are, exactly who you are?" David Goggins on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

No alcohol is best, but if you drink, limit it to 2–3 drinks per week max. Andrew Huberman was direct: Alcohol disrupts the first half of your sleep and physical repair. The “red wine is healthy” argument doesn’t hold, you’d need to drink all day for any meaningful resveratrol benefit. Hard drugs like cocaine, amphetamines, and opioids are far worse, they flood your brain with unearned dopamine and make normal life feel flat. Large meta-analyses (including The Lancet 2018) show that no level of alcohol is risk-free. Even light drinking (1–2 drinks per week) is associated with higher all-cause mortality and increased cancer risk compared to complete abstainers.

Is heterosexuality BROKEN? Video premiere‼️: "He, & other men I've spoken to, say they also feel hetero pessimistic -- that they feel as though the swiping culture, the women they meet on the apps, leads nowhere, & they articulate a desire to be partnered & have a relationship. And I have empathy for that. These are my friends. It is also true that when I start to ask some follow up questions...it does feel like there's a whole chat full of women who are actively wanting to be in a relationship & be very expansive with the kind of many they would be with, & a bunch of men who [aren't choosing partnership]."

AWARENESS AND THE SYSTEM Yoko: The public believes that there's somebody up there who's very powerful because they're rich and they control the media etcetera. And they think, 'Oh, we don't have the control so we can't do it.' And we have this negativism all the time. But that's not what it is at all. They're not powerful because they're rich and they control the media. They're powerful, sadly enough because they are 'aware' and they're trying to keep other people ignorant. If our awareness level gets to the same level as they are, we outnumber them. So there's nothing they can do. John: Who is 'they'? Well, whoever 'they' are - That kept the workers uneducated. That sent children down in the mines in the Industrial Revolution in England. Who tried not to educate people. We're all part of a system, in a way, and 'they' includes us, too. #powertothepeople

It was great to be back at Loftus Road QPR FC supporting @drinkaware's Drinking Check campaign to get more of us checking how much we're drinking more often and talking more openly about it. Personally, I'm comfortable with my relationship with alcohol. I enjoy a drink now and then, but it's all in moderation. While I've never struggled with alcohol myself, I've been there to support friends who have. Men's health, especially mental health, is something I am passionate about. That's why I'm sharing my experiences to enourage you to talk more openly and to take a moment to check how much you're drinking. If you're curious about your drinking, I highly recommend taking the The Drinking Check - a free online alcohol quiz.

Q : recently, haechan has been into barley tea, and fans are all saying, “could it be that you’re going to marry barley tea?” 😆 what does haechan think about it? roughly how many liters of barley tea do you drink in a day? 🐻: it’s because i like drinking barley tea so i drink it, just drinking mineral water feels a bit of a pity. since i don’t drink caffeine, i thought it’d be nice to have some barley tea, so i started drinking it. when i’m at home, i keep drinking it, and i can drink more than 1 liter a day.

You're used to hear people saying, oh, they have power, they have capacity, they have everything they need to even threaten this capital where all of us are now, from a distance. We told them, we may not have that capacity ourselves, we will find you there. We have the capacity, you don't know, we can walk 2,000 kilometers from here fighting if and when we have to fight. The rest are just stories. These people who tell you nonsense, that they have drones, they have what, they will come and attack everyone, we will find you where you are launching those drones from.

DR BRIAN KEATING: ANCIENT PEOPLE USED THE STARS TO TRACK TIME "The essence of time on a large scale—for seasons, for holidays, for festivals, for propitiation of deities and so forth—they had to keep track of it. That's why, in the caves in Lascaux that date back to 40,000 BCE, they depict constellations. And as I said, we can do astronomy—uniquely so amongst all the sciences—with just the equipment we're born with." Source: Prof. Brian Keating, Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.
