I read something quite a while back that stayed with me: a fit body and a wise mind are the real status symbols.
Money can buy a Lamborghini—but not a torso free of sagging love handles. It can buy a Birkin bag with a mile-long waiting list—but not the insight to see through the marketing gimmick behind such manufactured exclusivity.
But now, one of these is starting to crumble.
Enter GLP-1 weight loss drugs. A weekly jab can sculpt a fit body. As more people adopt them, prices will drop, making them increasingly accessible.
That leaves us with the mind.
And for now, at least, a wise mind remains shortcut-proof. It still demands effort, introspection, and the slow burn of lived experience. Neuralink might be the key that unlocks that final frontier—but until then, the grind is non-negotiable.
