Old world vs. New world In the old world individuals had to trust third party intermediaries with their money These intermediaries often fell prey to incentives that benefit them while harming individuals Now, by running #Bitcoin, individuals can take responsibility for their money In the old world we had to trust third party intermediaries with our health These intermediaries often fell prey to incentives that benefit them while harming individuals Now, by running health protocols, individuals can take responsibility for their health The ultimate form of healthcare is taking care of ourselves. Open source health protocols give everyone access to correct information so they have an opportunity to achieve better health Peer validated proof of work software that optimizes human biology The health revolution is upon us. It’s built on open source behavioural software that empowers people to reclaim responsibility for their health [macaw_836245]
Core element #1 of the protocol: Low time preference Adopting a low time preference means thinking long term It means prioritizing long term health and resilience over short term suppression of symptoms With a low time preference, we focus on inputs, trust the process and view pain as our guide on the journey With a high time preference (short term thinking), we view pain as the energy, want immediate relief, and ignore long term consequences of our short term actions With a high time preference we’re tempted to take a drug, an injection or a surgery to get immediate relief even if those very things make the problem worse long term Restoring a healthy lower body that is strong, mobile, resilient and free of pain is a process, not an event. Lowering our time preference allows us to show up everyday, be patient and witness results over a lifetime As Saifedean Ammous says, the hardness of the money we use is the control knob for our time preference. The harder the money, the lower the time preference Best way to lower our time preference? Adopt the worlds hardest form of money - #Bitcoin [quetzal_836172]
Better information = Better Decisions Improving our health is the process of aligning our behaviours with our biology We make decisions based on the information we have available If we don’t have truthful, applicable information, we can’t make optimal choices Achieving better health is the process of making better decisions This protocol aspires to help individuals make better decisions for themselves and those they serve The raw truth: deciding to wear unnatural shoes is a decision to develop unnatural foot health. Most people aren’t knowingly making that decision. We want to change that. [aracari_836145]
A decentralized health protocol designed to optimize the biology of human feet We’re developing the antidote to centralized disease care that disempowers people Our protocol aims to obsolete high time preference interventions that treat symptoms while ignoring the root cause of the issue Don’t trust us. Run the software and validate it for yourself Application of the protocol will vary widely between individuals but the core elements must be respected for effectiveness PS: flat feet aren’t a thing and orthotics fuck up peoples feet [trogon_836129]
We’re building a radical health protocol for the lower body The word radical comes from the Latin word “radicalis” which means “relating to a root” The protocol is radical not because it’s extreme or novel, but because it’s a rational return to first principles. By honouring and abiding by biological axioms we know with certainty to be true, we enable a radical departure from the current status quo of complex treatments that violate first principles of biology The protocol is radical in its simplicity. The value we provide with this software comes mostly from what we EXCLUDE than from what we include By focusing on the few things that matter most, we empower people to eliminate the noise and confusion created by the fiat world of medicine and rehab It’s not about what exercises you need to do, what orthotics you need, what injections you can get, what surgeries you can undergo. That’s mostly noise and almost always worse than useless in the long term It’s about lowering your time preference, wearing shoes that don’t damage your feet and showing up for at least 10 minutes a day to upgrade your lower body health by doing simple, effective things to recalibrate your lower body back to default settings The people who make money from making health complex will probably tell you this protocol is too simple to be effective Run the code and validate it yourself People who are tired of constantly being in pain and reliant on disease care for symptom relief will eventually be ready to take responsibility and run the code Our job as a team of developers is to make sure the code is as simple and effective as possible and we’re honoured to do this work [macaw_836120]
80/20 rule applied to lower body health 80% of results come from doing the most important 20% of things consistently If you’re giving your body natural inputs 80% of the time, you’ve earned the right to consume unnatural inputs 20% of the time without suffering major consequences If you wear natural shoes 80% of the time, you can wear unnatural ones the other 20% and be fine If you’re moving and on the ground 80% of your waking hours, you can sit in a chair for the other 20% and not get messed up If 80% of days you show up for a focused session to upgrade your body, you can skip the other 20% and still be okay Developing better health isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being consistent and doing the right things Our lower body health protocol outlines the 20% of things that are most important so you can use your time wisely and restore a strong, mobile, painfree, resilient lower body [macaw_836106]
Hard truth: People who diagnose issues and treat symptoms of disease/injury without addressing the root cause aren’t health professionals. They are disease professionals Disease professionals are a fiat derivative. They aren’t trained to help people with their health. They aren’t acting in the best interests of those they treat, they are acting in their own interests They get paid to offer high time preference interventions that myopically focus on pain without ever investigating the root cause or helping patients solve the problem Disease professionals aren’t bad people. They are often great humans with good intentions who are simply stuck in a shitty fiat game of perverse incentives Debt from their fiat degrees forces them to continue earning income doing the only thing they are trained to do: treat symptoms Within the domain of musculoskeletal health (muscles, bones, joints), our protocol will create a new game A game where individuals can run the software and cure their problems instead of continuing to simply treat the symptoms Better yet, individuals can run the software to PREVENT all the issues that should never happen (99% of lower body msk issues are preventable) For disease professionals who want to take a different path and do better, they can run the software on their own body to validate it and then integrate the protocol into their approach with patients Rant over [trogon_836103]
Core element #2 of the protocol: Footwear This one is actually incredibly simple: stop wearing shoes that damage your feet Let’s start with 2 related and shocking facts: 1. 95% of shoe wearing people are unknowingly wearing shoes that fuck up their feet 2. 75% of shoe wearing people develop foot problems at some point in their lives We define shoes that fuck up your feet as unnatural. Unnatural shoes are pointed, stiff, have an elevated heel, artificial support and a thick, cushioned heel. These shoes quite literally disable, deform and damage human feet. Stop wearing them and your feet immediately begin restoring themselves back to default, healthy settings Spend time barefoot, and when you need to protect your feet, wear natural shoes Natural shoes are foot shaped (widest at the toes), flexible, flat, have a thin sole and are fixed to your feet (aka not flip flops) Wearing shoes that don’t mess up your feet is a lower body health cheat code Pass it on [toucan_836010]
