The One Lesson I Wish All My Readers Would Follow
I might be known as the codger around the office, but I've never been afraid of change...
When someone asked if I could move to London to set up Goldman Sachs' European derivative desk... sure!
Want to start a biotech company? Let's give it a shot!
Each season the grapes come in at my vineyard, it's a brand-new puzzle to solve.
And the big one, of course, was going to medical school at an age when many doctors have stopped learning in favor of relying on their lessons from years ago.
Even in my retirement age, while others can get stuck in comfortable patterns, I'm taking on new challenges and big new roles.
If I could get my subscribers to adopt one lesson – whether they are just graduating college or about to retire from the workforce – it would be to embrace change and get comfortable with uncertainty... because that's where the richness of life lies.
That isn't always easy. For many people, change is synonymous with anxiety.
The world is changing faster than ever before. It doesn't just feel that way. It's true.
For the bulk of human history, our lives were much like those of not just our parents, but our great-great-grandparents. As William Manchester writes in A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an Age...
In the medieval mind there was also no awareness of time, which is even more difficult to grasp. Inhabitants of the twentieth century are instinctively aware of past, present, and future... Medieval men were rarely aware of which century they were living in. There was no reason they should have been. There are great differences between everyday life in 1791 and 1991, but there were very few between 791 and 991... Generations succeeded one another in a meaningless, timeless blur. In the whole of Europe, which was the world as they knew it, very little happened. Popes, emperors, and kings died and were succeeded by new popes, emperors, and kings; wars were fought, spoils divided; communities suffered, then recovered from, natural disasters. But the impact on the masses was negligible. This lockstep continued for a period of time roughly corresponding in length to the time between the Norman conquest of England, in 1066, and the end of the twentieth century.
Now, it's hard to imagine living 100 years ago. Change is rapid.
Many of us lament the loss of a simpler time... like the 1990s. We complain that those 20 years younger than us are growing up in a "different world."
In 2018, then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "Think about it: The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again."
And he's right. Change is only going to accelerate... and get bigger... And it's going to get weird.
The latest rush of change is all because of one thing... artificial intelligence ("AI").
I know you've heard a lot about AI. You may even be suffering from a bit of AI fatigue. However, you need to understand this technology because it's here to stay.
Not only is AI going to dramatically change all our lives from this point forward, but it could also impact your wealth for decades to come...
Next Wednesday, two legendary investors – one from Wall Street, the other from Silicon Valley – are joining forces to tell you everything you need to know about a new breakthrough in AI.
Specifically, they're going to share details about an "AI super chip" that's 50 times faster than Nvidia's. It could soon transform the AI sector... while laying waste to other parts of the market and causing the biggest economic shake-up in a generation. And if you position yourself correctly, you could make life-altering profits of 1,000% with this technology.
The man who called the bottom of the 2020 crash to the exact day and recommended seven stocks that all went on to double is now unveiling his newest prediction for the stock market. An AI super chip 50 times faster than Nvidia's could soon create a new order in the market. See his write-up and why you could make 10 times your money if you get positioned on May 21.
Reader question of the week...
Q: What are your thoughts on allergy meds like Claritin? – D.A.
A: Thanks for the question, D.A.
Claritin is one of the most popular go-tos for allergy sufferers. It blocks histamine (the chemical that causes allergy symptoms) binding to prevent allergies. But its side effects include drowsiness, headaches, constipation, and dry mouth. Some allergy medications can also raise your blood pressure.
Benadryl is another popular drug to treat allergies. Benadryl is a type of anticholinergic, which blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in our nervous system. This class of drugs relaxes nerves in many of our body's systems. That includes the cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal tract (the digestive system), and the lungs. People take these drugs for problems like allergies, depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Parkinson's disease, and even for an overactive bladder.
But a 2019 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that long-term use of anticholinergics like Benadryl might increase your risk of dementia. While the study was observational, researchers linked taking anticholinergics for three-plus years to around a 50% higher risk of developing dementia, compared with those who took medication for just a few months.
Rather than taking drugs with all sorts of potential side effects, consider using one of my favorite tools for allergy and sinus relief: a neti pot... A 2004 study published in the journal Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery concluded that nasal irrigation – like using a neti pot – is an effective and underutilized treatment for nose and sinus conditions.
A neti pot looks like a smaller version of a teapot with a spout that's shaped to fit into your nostril. Pouring a saline solution through your nose can flush out pollen and nasal congestion.
The first step is putting some lukewarm sterilized or distilled water (never use tap water) into the neti pot and adding a saline packet – which generally comes included when you buy a neti pot. Then, you lean over the sink and pour the mixture into one nostril, angling your head so that it flows out the other nostril. After pouring half of the mixture through, tilt your head and do the other nostril. Occasionally, I have to lightly (very lightly) blow my nose during the rinse.
This process may take some getting used to, but it's worth it... The buffered water flushes the pollen and other allergens out of your nasal passages before they can cause an allergic reaction.
Do what I do and use the neti pot once a day during peak allergy season. It's also one of the first things I reach for if I feel a head cold coming on – I can often knock it right out with a little rinse.
