From Shady's past 4,000-calorie Legal Seafood business lunches in D.C., to the daily ledger mechanics of Life Points’ Piehole Pro, this episode hilariously reminds you how corporate food syndicates exploit your decision fatigue by managing to a single System 2 question: “Will you eat it?”
"I see my cardiologist a total of one hour per year. An average year has 8,766 hours—which means I’ve got 8,765 hours where I’m released into a culture of death. Big Cholesterol has a one question system. I stole their system, but, I changed the question!”
~The Late Shady O’Leery
Shiny & Shady break down how managing to a rigid System 2 boundary reclaims your frontal cortex and keeps you off the trauma table so that you’re alive for the earthly experiences that actually matter.
