About Steemit/D.Tube
I'm Jonathan Roseland from Colorado and I endeavor to get more involved with the Steemit community. So I've purchased some Steemit and intend to upvote, comment and make friends (and enemies) here!
First of all just take a second to upvote this post, I'm committed to earning my Steem by creating great content and NOT gaming the Steemit system, so PLEASE upvote this.
I'm an Applied Neuroscience Strategist
Which means that I devote myself full time to reading and researching the latest science in regards to human performance enhancement and anti-aging. I'm a Biohacker who has used over 90 Nootropic smart drugs over the past 6 years.
A hacker is someone who seeks to control whatever system they are dealing with. A Biohacker, therefor is someone who seeks complete control of their own biology.
We biohack with...
- Drugs
- Supplements
- Food
- Exercise
- Technology and apps
- Light
- Meditation
- Music
- And sex
I'd like to actually show two of my favorite Biohacks to you right now...
Nicotine
Now I don't smoke (actually I quit smoking successfully years ago) but I use Nicotine very sparingly because Nicotine is an incredible short term cognitive enhancer that stimulates creativity and what's called your brain's default network. I'll explain what that means but some of you might be thinking...
Wait isn't Nicotine like this evil, addictive chemical that causes cancer?
Not exactly, the most recent science seems to indicate that it's all the other toxic chemicals in cigarettes that cause cancer. The risk that very moderate Nicotine consumption presents is minimal and I offset it with a bunch of other biohacks.
-
Nicotine is my favorite promoter of creativity, it's my go-to for an intensive writing session.
-
Nicotine fires up the brain's default network - which is the capacity of your unconscious mind to come up with novel solutions to problems you're dealing with. I will typically do a little bit of Nicotine before doing a meditation session, then I will spend about 30 seconds loading up my conscious mind with all the challenges and things I have to deal with usually by scrolling through my email inbox or Evernote application, then I lie down to do my meditation. I focus on my breathing, clear my mind and after about 10 minutes really clever solutions to my problems, challenges and worries come bubbling up out of my unconscious. It's pretty cool and it works pretty consistently!
-
Nicotine is pretty addictive so I use it as a Pavlovian reward to reinforce and reward good habits.
If this interests you please read my article in full about Nicotine supplementation first as opposed to just going out and getting some spray or Nicotine gum from a pharmacy.
Pavlovian scent trigger
You might remember in the movie The Wolf of Wall Street about half way through the movie Jordan makes this silly video infomercial for a sales course that he sells... Well, Jordan Belfort is a real person and he really did create an excellent sales psychology course, which I took. In it he shared this Pavlovian biohack for instant closing confidence. You anchor a specific scent to feeling of exhilarating confidence; anytime you close a sale and feel amazing you take a big whiff of a particular smell. My anchor is the scent of an old cigar. So when I'm in need of some confidence, I just take a whiff of the cigar.
I'm going to cause some trouble on Steemit...
In the health and science section of Steemit there seems to be a lot of examples of shoddy research, misguided conclusions, lack of critical thinking and poor argumentation.
I intend to start some fights in the comments section there (well, very polite fights using facts and logic!) I suspect this will earn me some some downvotes and haters!
So please do follow me and upvote when you think I'm making good arguments.
World Traveler
I've been a world traveler for 6 years and have lived in 6 different countries. I've hung out with spies in Kiev and dated politician's daughters in Colombia. So you can look forward to some lifehacking articles and videos about travel from me.
Currently I'm an expat living in Sofia, Bulgaria which is a really lovely country that rarely gets discussed by the travel bloggerati! If you're around south east Europe, come see me!
My intellectual and entrepreneurial pursuits don't leave all that much time for leisure but my hobbies include salsa dancing and weight lifting.
Living abroad I've picked up some other languages...
