1 " Knowledge without action is like a car with an empty gas tank. "
― Richard Heart, , sciVive
2 " What is the meaning of life?There is no such thing as meaning except what you give it... "
3 " Scivivors are people who are at such a high level of fulfillment that they have the time, money, and desire to invest in their families’ survival. They leverage science to survive. "
4 " Strong-minded individuals fight the Grim Reaper standing up, while cowards kneel and pretend that nothing can be done. "
5 " It can be difficult to overcome this initial bias if you do not maintain an open mind. "
6 " The set of things that you could misunderstand, the set of ways that you could misunderstand a thing, is nearly infinite compared to the very small set of ways that you could actually understand the way that it really is. "
7 " It is rumored that Francis Crick was on LSD when he discovered DNA. If one had to bet their life, one would be likely to tell you that the vast majority of discoveries have been made by people not on LSD... It’s probably unlikely that you would happen to run into a cult of really drugged up, “tripping-face” dudes crushing it in the business world or crushing it in the stock market etc. "
8 " Exercising is by far more effective than any drug to help you learn better. "
9 " Your body has evolved for some activity during the day. Work out hard during the day and you’ll sleep like a baby at night. "
10 " Eat to live, don’t live to eat, at least in terms of quantity. You don’t need much quantity to have quality. When you eat you must see how little you can eat, not how much. "
11 " If you have three extra sodas a day, you will be roughly 45 lbs. heavier for the rest of your life. That’s how powerful calories are. "
12 " If you break a leg, good chance it’s going to heal. If you break a tooth, it’s permanent. It’s not going to heal itself. "
13 " You know what, you can make a little change in the way you eat, and just stop eating when you’re satisfied, instead of full. “Hara hachi bu” is a Japanese term meaning “Eat until you’re 80% full. "
14 " You can avoid toilet water splash, and have a quieter pooping experience if you drop a piece of toilet paper in first. "
15 " Everyone uses soap, but it’s a rather new human invention, and as much as we use it, we probably need to cancel out the wiping out of our natural oils with some lotions. "
16 " ...why you have butt hair, it’s a lubricant, and stops chafing. Notice you get furry on those places where there is rubbing, and if you didn’t have fur there, you may sustain injury. "
17 " Peripheral vision appears to be much faster in some measurements, and the science also points towards this. This seems like a pretty great idea from an evolutionary advantage perspective, because it’s more important for you to become aware of threats and opportunities that aren’t already on your radar, more so than it is perhaps to deal with what you are already aware of. "
18 " Being strong is better than being fast. "
19 " If you’re going to be sitting watching television, or writing a book, or lazily enjoying the Internet, you might as well be pedaling your feet while you are doing it. "
20 " One way of thinking about the 40% rule is to “train till failure.” When you reach that point of exhaustion during a run or pushing weights, when you usually would stop, keep running for one more minute or complete another rep with your weight training. You’ll be surprised to see how much further you can push yourself. "
