🦾 You can't outsource your life
Dear Melius Humano (Better Human),
I’m at this point in life where I know deep in my bones that I can do anything.
It took many years of learning and unlearning, and updating my stories. It took watching many “successful” people up close and observing how they struggled just like the rest of us.
It took working closely with high-paid corporate employees and comparing how ineffective they were individually and as a team.
I took deep study, thinking, trial and error, and years of figuring it out.
It’s took escaping the comparison trap so I could fully appreciate for my journey and not compare it to anyone else’s path. Nietzsche used the idea of “Amor fati” as integral to his philosophy. It means to not only accept the bad things, but to love them. When you can love the good and bad in your life, you are free. When you realize that wishing for something else is meaningless because you can never go back, you start moving to complete acceptance of your life and everything in it. Once you realize this Truth, you get the ultimate power of control.
Max Truth is a the mathematically true concept that everything in your life is ONLY up to you. This is mathematically provable because it can ONLY be up to you. No one can think for you, feel for you, do for you. They can’t choose for you because asking them to or letting them is still your choice. What you perceive is your choice. What you think is your choice. What you do is your choice.
When everything is your choice—as it is—you have two choices:
Take complete control of choice so you can direct external reality to your desired ends
Choose unproductive thoughts and actions that give away your agency with the net result of staying stuck or moving backwards
That’s it.
That’s the binary 1 or 2 of your life.
It will never change.
The sooner you get all ones in your columns, the sooner you reap the benefits that come from doing so.
What benefits?
All the benefits.
Every single aspect of your life is improved through taking control.
On the flip side, every single aspect of your life that you neglect or outsource to others (without thought) is made worse by doing so.
(When I say “outsource” I’m referring mostly to doing things just because others do them without understanding or analyzing them. These unexamined aspects of life lack ownership because you haven’t done the work to own them. Then, when you own them, you choose to utilize other people to help you towards a self-chosen aim.)

Tired all the time? It might be your minerals.
Fatigue is becoming more prevalent in our modern society. One main reason for this is our nutrient-depleting food supply.
As foods become more industrialized, more heavily processed, and monocropping strips the soil of naturally occurring nutrients so that farmers have to rely more heavily on petrochemicals and fertilizer inputs, the net result is your food is LACKING. The net effect is less nutritious food. Americans get sicker every year as our food gets worse.
Magnesium is an essential mineral needed for over 600 biochemical processes in the human body. It’s that important.
I take 4-6 Wild Magnesium caps a day. It’s helped me ward off that afternoon slump and has improved my energy levels and focus across the board.
Our Wild Magnesium Complex has 7x Forms of magnesium to give you what your body needs without having to buy multiple products. Just take a dose 1-3x a day to optimize your magnesium levels and prevent the following signs of mineral deficiency:
loss of appetite
fatigue and weakness
shaking
pins and needles
muscle spasms
hyper-excitability
sleepiness
General stress, anxiety and inflammation
As you can see, magnesium is important. Not having enough magnesium is a big problem.
A once or twice a day serving can give you multiple forms of magnesium and help you optimize your levels.

Gut Health
Episode 216 - Interview with Colin Stuckert: Ways to Improve Gut Health, Raising Healthy Kids, and the Importance of Community! - Spotify
On this podcast, we discuss gut health, raising kids, and the difficulties of connecting as modern adult humans.
Pre-80’s Americans were lean
Why are most Americans today are overweight yet back then they were not even though they both drank beer, ate pizza, and other similar foods?
If I had to make a highly educated guess are: Modern food and Big Pharma.

What is Better Human?
I’m building this philosophical framework for modern human life. It’s not done. It might never be totally “finished”. It’s open source. It’s going to evolve over time. I’m building it publicly here and here.
Better Human is a philosophy for 21st-century humans that want to live effective, happy, and healthy lives. I’m building publicly here: TheBetterHuman.co - check out the Learning Route/core philosophy as it develops. And please share any thoughts, ideas, or concepts you think should be included.
Building Better Humans from the ground up. Rebirth. Unlearn. Escape the Matrix. Create a life based on your self-curated values and escape the drudgery of modernity.
Practical Philosophy, Evolutionary Psychology, Health, First Principles Thinking, and taking absolute ownership.
Building Better Humans through a complete change of mind, thought patterns and creating a new life based on a self-created personal philosophy.
Building The Better Human Philosophy → Goal: Create a new framework for human meaning in the 21st century.
The Better Human Philosophy is a practical method of thinking and living based on first principles thinking, truth, self-ownership and reliance, and opting out of the broken status quo.
Build a unique life through your own self-discovered personal philosophy - that’s what the world needs. It does not need another carbon copy.
The Problem
Society is broken. Society monetizes the group at the expense of the individual.
Since humans are tribal creatures, they fall into groupthink and mass psychosis.
A few escape. A few forge their own path. A few wake up. A few uncover Truth and foundational principles of biology, psychology, history, and economics,.
Modern humans struggle with meaning. We no longer have to survive. We now have to survive modernity, a struggle to find meaning, and avoid suicide/suffering through a life of quiet desperation.
You want to change. You want a successful life of health, wealth, happiness, and relationships.
But you have no idea how to get it. You follow the mainstream, what people around you are doing—the illusion of social media and curated facade of bullshit dupe you. You are plugged into the Matrix.
It’s less than 3% that ever escape and create lives of meaning for themselves. Each human that does gets there in their own unique way. So it’s impossible to identify the one thing to do. It is possible to do the one thing that is the MOST IMPACTFUL for getting there. And that’s COMPLETELY CHANGING YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
Filling your mind with new ideas, people, and the scenery is the foundational aspect of change that so few ever realize and even fewer master.
The Better Human Program is singularly focused on one major outcome—change your environment, master it to get the mind, body, and then eventually, the life you want.
Then live that till the end of the days while pursuing mastery.
The Method
Reborn: Completely detach from your former self. Let go of your Ego, identity, past, bad habits, toxic relationships with people, drugs, food, propaganda, fear, politics, etc.
Shed your past self and build a new self. Let go of your traumas, shame, guilt, externally enforced baggage of expectation, comparison, and victim mentality. It’s also to be FIT and healthy without massive effort… to build the knowledge, skill, and belief system that makes you look good and feel good year-round.
Replace that with new thought patterns based on TRUTH and first principles thinking.
Completely guard your life so only approved ideas and people are allowed in. Take action towards definite goals to build a life of meaning for yourself rather than from outside.
Find meaning in helping others behind you following the same path.
Live differently → intentional living in nature with others. Close communities outside of the urban rigamarole. (My goal is the BH community project to show the world exactly how it can be done.)
