How many times do we need to hear "exercise and healthy eating" prolong life and improve cognitive function?
The more important question appears to be why it seems to difficult to follow the advice?
Personally, I'm well aware of the positive effects of drinking plenty of water, eating vegetables, exercising daily, and going to bed early. However, I buy myself a chocolate bar every day, love pizza, just want to unwind after a hard day at work, and still read Reddit late into the night.
All the healthy stuff has friction: a workout takes time out of the day, the veggies need preparation, while going to bed early means I'm missing out on fun or intriguing things that I would learn about otherwise.

> Of course people don't quit their jobs and careers because they are part of a small group enrolled in a 3-year scientific study.
Except the study did show people quitting their jobs at a higher rate. But they mostly switched to new jobs instead of becoming unemployed. Of course people given the choice between working less or making more money usually choose the money. People who choose otherwise are already part-timing/episodically employed/on unemployment benefits/getting subsidized by their family.
Presumably there's a level of UBI where most people wouldn't see the need to work anymore, but if they quit permanently, this will reduce the supply of goods, increasing prices and limiting how much UBI can buy, to the point where people are incentivized to start working again. So it's a self-regulating system. Of course it would be less disruptive to start with a very low UBI that gradually increases, instead of starting high and letting inflation sort out the rest.

This is a very good point that I haven't even heard made by proponents of this idea before. Thanks!
As a Reddit user I'm using this simple replace function to switch to the old.reddit.com version of a page:
javascript:(function(){ if (location.hostname === "www.reddit.com") { location.href = location.href.replace("www.reddit.com", "old.reddit.com"); }})();
Necessary due to Google search results on Reddit leading to the new.reddit.com version of a page which demands a login more often than not.
Like ADHD?
Most likely. For me personally, the ADHD medication hasn't helped, and after missing two appointments in a row, I'm now too embarrassed to call the doctor and get a new prescription.
I've tried this and the temptation to remove the block is too much. I think a better way would be to deal with the underlying reasons why we get distracted in the first place.
>I've tried this and the temptation to remove the block is too much.
Or circumvent it. I used a blocking plugin, until I've learned it does not affect other/new browser profiles. Some other low-level solutions I've tried could be bypassed Tor mode inside Brave browser. It seems like my brain just doesn't want to focus on the damn work, but rather on how to get that dopamine hit the easy way.

It is learnable.
Check Olivia Fox Cabane’s book The Charisma Myth. I’ve read this and found about 30-40% of it to be implementable and a percent of that have positive outcomes.
Although I enjoyed reading her book and found most of the information plausible, I always found it strange that the author herself seems so uncharismatic, especially given her claim that charisma can be learned.
The same goes for Robert Greene, author of "The 48 Laws of Power," "The Art of Seduction," and several other books. I've watched a few interviews with him, and he strikes me as completely unremarkable, uncharismatic, and rather unconvincing, which makes me doubt the validity of his books' promises.
Calvin Klein is the answer. That’s how people do k recreationally.
That wasn't very helpful...
