Please watch my video introduction on D.Tube
I'm Jonathan Roseland from Colorado and I endeavor to get more involved with the Steemit community. So I've purchased some Steemit and intend to upvote, comment and make friends (and enemies) here!
First of all just take a second to upvote this post, I'm committed to earning my Steem by creating great content and NOT gaming the Steemit system, so PLEASE upvote this.
Which means that I devote myself full time to reading and researching the latest science in regards to human performance enhancement and anti-aging. I'm a Biohacker who has used over 90 Nootropic smart drugs over the past 6 years.
A hacker is someone who seeks to control whatever system they are dealing with. A Biohacker, therefor is someone who seeks complete control of their own biology.
We biohack with...
I'd like to actually show two of my favorite Biohack to you right now...
Now I don't smoke (actually I quit smoking successfully years ago) but I use Nicotine very sparingly because Nicotine is an incredible short term cognitive enhancer that stimulates creativity and what's called your brain's default network. I'll explain what that means but some of you might be thinking...
Wait isn't Nicotine like this evil, addictive chemical that causes cancer?
Not exactly, the most recent science seems to indicate that it's all the other toxic chemicals in cigarettes that cause cancer. The risk that very moderate Nicotine consumption presents is minimal and I offset it with a bunch of other biohacks.
If this interests you please read my article in full about Nicotine supplementation first as opposed to just going out and getting some spray or Nicotine gum from a pharmacy.
You might remember in the movie The Wolf of Wall Street about half way through the movie Jordan makes this silly video infomercial for a sales course that he sells... Well, Jordan Belfort is a real person and he really did create an excellent sales psychology course, which I took. In it he shared this Pavlovian biohack for instant closing confidence. You anchor a specific scent to feeling of exhilarating confidence; anytime you close a sale and feel amazing you take a big whiff of a particular smell. My anchor is the scent of an old cigar. So when I'm in need of some confidence, I just take a whiff of the cigar.
In the health and science section of Steemit there seems to be a lot of examples of shoddy research, misguided conclusions, lack of critical thinking and poor argumentation.
I intend to start some fights in the comments section there (well, very polite fights using facts and logic!) I suspect this will earn me some some downvotes and haters!
So please do follow me and upvote when you think I'm making good arguments.
I've been a world traveler for 6 years and have lived in 6 different countries. I've hung out with spies in Kiev and dated politician's daughters in Colombia. So you can look forward to some lifehacking articles and videos about travel from me.
Currently I'm an expat living in Sofia, Bulgaria which is a really lovely country that rarely gets discussed by the travel bloggerati! If you're around south east Europe, come see me!
My intellectual and entrepreneurial pursuits don't leave all that much time for leisure but my hobbies include salsa dancing and weight lifting.
Living abroad I've picked up some other languages...
Hablo espanol con fluidez
я немного говорю по русски
I have some cool documentaries I've made about topics that interest me like tantric sex, the Mandela Effect, bad science and debunking the flat earth theory.that you'll want to checkout so I'll include those in my introducing myself post on Steemit

The Futility of the Flat Earth Debate
I'm a libertarian, conservative-leaning thinker and have some philosophical content that may interest you...
Freedom is Unnatural: Why Human Rights are Antithetical to Human Nature
Free Market “Universal Basic Income”
I'm a voracious reader and publish book reviews from time to time that I think you'll find insightful and witty!

My niche of expertise is this class of safe, legal cognitive enhancers called Nootropics. There’s several hundred different compounds that…
https://vimeo.com/131424510
Some of them come from the natural world like Ginkgo Biloba or Rhodiola whereas some of them are synthesized in laboratories
I’ve personally tried over 90 of them, of those about 25 are really effective and I think actually worthwhile for people to use.
I spend at least 10 hours a week reading studies and latest scientific research about this class of drugs. I’ve obsessively researched and experimented with them for 6 years. There’s all these other topics that I’ve had passing dalliances with like mindfulness, transhumanism, libertarianism, Identitarianism, tantric sex, keto diet, Taoism, etc but smart drugs have NOT been a passing dalliance for me.
In regards to smart drugs I’ve relentless followed the path of excess to the palace of wisdom. I’m probably one of the most holistically knowledgeable guys in word when it comes to this topic, now there’s certainly scientists and researchers who know more about specific things than me. Like there will be a scientists who has studied a neurobiological amino mechanism for 10 or 20 years and they will have an extremely granular understanding of the topic but when it comes to a holistic understanding how smart drugs and Nootropic supplements effect…
...I’m the go-to guy to answer your questions!
I’m a bit different than a lot of the websites or brands that promote health and fitness products because as you can see I use my real name and image. I’ve got skin the game, I face serious reputational consequences if I recommend something that doesn’t help people. Over the years I’ve made some enemies in the health products industry because I will call out and criticize things that I don’t think are good for consumers.
Recently the Youtube channel I had worked on for 5 years was deleted by Youtube, which inspired my zest for free speech and interest in supporting alternatives to Youtube. Good thing I've backed up and saved many of the hundreds of videos I made about lifehacking and biohacking, I'll be uploading these to D.Tube.
Introducing Myself, My Story and My Values
I realize that recording a 2 hour podcast talking about oneself may sound ridiculously narcissistic but I've got a very interesting story and a lot of people have told me that this is one of the most engrossing podcasts that they've ever listened to.
I want to thank a few people that got me involved with Steemit like my friend 
The inventor of the most clever cocktail toast ever, former participant in a bank robbery, almost died underwater twice, raconteur & smart drug dealer.
