NEW: U.S. Marine Combat Veteran, Mike Egan, races for 27 hours, traveling more than 110 miles in a wheelchair at the G1M Ultra. Egan was seen getting out of his wheelchair at one point due to the mud. The Go One More Ultra is a race in which contestants run a 4.2-mile loop every hour on the hour until only one person remains. Egan placed in the top 28, outlasting 117 people. Absolutely insane. H/t: bpnsupps / ig.

Missouri man claims to have found a mammoth femur bone in northwest Missouri, films himself carrying it out of a river. Self-funded paleontologist Jason Howery says he has been searching for and finding Ice Age remains for 20 years. "When you're looking at that type of staining that's on there, and the mineralization of it, it's definitely an authentic piece that hasn't been seen in 10,000-plus-years," Howery said. "It's all of the hard work coming together over 20 years of doing the research, doing the analysis, doing the fieldwork, and being there and being the first person to have permission to go in and find the right places to look." The bone reportedly weighs 92 pounds.

Short, yet intense bursts. Rest when needed. You can’t sprint forever but definitely can in intervals. What area of your life do you need to lace up the kicks and do a full sprint again?

When we’re young, we move fast, a lot. After age 30-40, we may be walking (which when done consistently has incredible health benefits) & jogging & doing what we are supposed to as a responsible adult, but lacking in the all-out sprints we need to break through our ceiling.

90-95% of people will never again SPRINT after turning 30 for the rest of their lives. Not jogging, not running… sprinting—the fastest your body is capable of moving. When is the last time you sprinted? Apply this metaphorically to other areas of your life.

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned. “Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.” Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s. So, what happened? Screens. Dr. Jared Horvath explained: “Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.” “So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).” “If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.” But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them. They’re doing something far worse. And when you take a closer look, it isn’t pretty. 🧵
