youtube channel curation

Z / Runner 🏃🏻‍♂️

🏃🏻‍♂️ everything I watch clusters into 3 buckets: 1). sci / tech / systems / craft. basically "what's actually true vs hype." 2). → running / body / longevity (mostly from 2025) 3). capital / sport / media / narrative (how the world really allocates attention + capital)

@mkbhd — consumer tech reality + taste barometer
@designchampions — design quality as a forcing function
@tibees — physics/math intuition, zero hype
@gordonmurrayautomotive — engineering restraint as philosophy
@lexfridman — slow conversations, real intellectual surface area
@startalk — science as culture, curiosity without intimidation
@worldsciencefestival — serious thinkers, public-facing rigor
@instituteforartandideas — philosophy, politics, science colliding
@hubermanlab — mechanisms first, protocols second
@peterattiamd — healthspan as systems engineering
@foundmyfitness — micronutrients, metabolism, deep dives
@optispan — translational aging science
@bryanjohnson — extreme n=1, useful as boundary case
@jeremyethier — evidence-based hypertrophy / training clarity
@believeintherun — running culture + gear signal
@marathonhandbook — structured endurance thinking
@shadowrunner — niche runner signal (usually from people who train)
@rantojapan — running + systems + quiet constraints
@davidrubenstein — capital + institutions explaining themselves
@breakingpoints — post-cable political signal
@powerfuljre — guests are the variable; long-tail cultural sampling
@chaznba — basketball IQ, spacing, timing, decision-making
@firsttake — narrative, attention, and conflict economics
🏃🏻‍♂️ didn't sub to their channel, adding them back to the stack.

🏃🏻‍♂️ crawl these sub, compress it, cross-ref it, and keep it warm over time, like: what changed? who contradicted who? what quietly converged? what aged badly? across ppl I already chose to trust. less "what should I watch next," more "what do I now know that I didn't last month.”
