Bonus module is up today. You can find it under the Income Reconstruction in the classroom.

Your career is not as safe as your title suggests. You have a degree, a résumé, and twenty years of experience. None of that is the protection you think it is. The protection is how much of your actual day a machine can already do, and most people are badly wrong about which parts those are. They assume it is the technical work. It is usually the work they are proudest of. The reporting. The analysis. The thing they are the go-to person for. The Half-Life app walks you through your real duties, one at a time, and scores your likelihood of disruption by AI on a scale of 1 to 10. A 3 means you have time. An 8 means you are already standing on the wrong half of your career. It takes about three minutes. It is free. Nobody is going to sit you down and tell you this.

Does anybody have any suggestions on figuring out the healthcare piece? I'm considering a move to Spain or the Netherlands and am not clear on the best way forward for securing healthcare coverage. As a freelancer, the cost for my current U.S. plan is more than painful.

Target is around 125 g per day. That number comes from preserving 138 lb of lean mass at 55, resistance training, eating primarily plant-based, in a caloric deficit. All five of those independently argue for the high end. Actual intake: roughly 100 g. So I have been in a deficit for months, training, and underfeeding the one tissue the entire program exists to protect. Not a mystery. Not a plateau. An input I did not run. What I changed this week: three feedings of 40 g instead of grazing. Alternate Ascent Whey, Soy and pea isolate doing the heavy lifting. Logged it daily. Seven days in. Averaged 130 g. No conclusion yet. Posting the log, not the result.

I got to the top of that climb around 50 and found out it was a ridge, not a summit. The credential was real. The identity was a costume. That's not a midlife crisis. It's a false summit, and almost every high performer hits one. Meanwhile AI is quietly rewriting what credentialed work is even worth. Second Peak is where I'm building the second half in public. Body, mind, relationships, work. Systems that actually run, not frameworks nobody executes.
