Hacking Time with Chris Dancy
Have you ever noticed how different the time could be? It flies when we are in a flow state, moves like a snail when we are standing in a queue and disappears when we start reading our Facebook feed. Setting the jokes aside, we all experience time in our own unique way. To understand our experience of time better, let’s look at what time really is. Two facets of time There are two aspects of time – chronos and kairos. While the former structures time into minutes, days and weeks, the latter represents qualitative experiences in a given moment. Our speaker Chris Dancy has measured both. Dancy admits that getting the data on chronoception is not hard. All you need to do is turn on your tracking decides and get your data logged right into your Google calendar. But how do you measure and score feelings? Dancy uses DIKW pyramid to describe kairos. Pieces of data combined create information, information becomes knowledge, knowledge becomes wisdom. Thus, to get high up the pyramid he started to combine data with photos he took in a moment the data was recorded. The photos revealed more about the feelings he had while doing certain things. …
Ben Greenfield: How to Find Balance in Biohacking
Biohacker Summit 2015 opens with Ben Greenfield’s “Biohacking vs Nature”, Ben is an ex-bodybuilder, Ironman triathlete, Spartan racer, coach, speaker and author of the New York Times Bestseller “Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health and Life”. Ben starts his presentation with a Warrior breathing technique, which he practices every day to boost his energy. This technique involves hyperoxygenating the body with fast and deep nasal inhale followed by a quick exhale in sets of 50-40-30-20 and deep breath in and out in between. The technique apparently works as Ben receives a burst of applause. According to Ben it is essential to find a balance between living in nature and biohacking. See below his 10 ways to get most out of biohacking without losing the connection with nature: Quantified self. Ben is not convinced that constantly tracking the body with various wearable devices is healthy because the signal they emit may disrupt the blood brain barrier and cause low-level radiation. Ben poses a question whether one really needs data from various devices. Nevertheless, he agrees that these are great tools to look at how different habits affect different aspects of life. He spends only 5 minutes a day to track his heart-rate variability – the …
Upgraded Drinks for an Energetic Alcohol-Free Party
Biohacker Summit 2015 was all about how to become better, faster, stronger by upgrading different areas of our lives. When it came to the Upgraded Party (official afterparty of Biohacker Summit), we asked ourselves: how do we bring the party experience to the next level? We wanted to challenge the stereotype that every party should revolve around alcohol (typically followed by brain fog the next day — if not a full-blown hangover). Therefore we opted out from including alcohol on our upgraded menu. But that didn’t mean our guests must be limited to juices and bottled water, although these are good choices to keep on-hand. Many of our attendees and subscribers inquired about our Afterparty bar menu — so let’s have a closer look at what went inside our two ultimate cocktails. T-2015 Biofuel Green drinks are often associated with health, but not so often associated with delicious taste. We changed that, when we created the refreshing green T-2015 Biofuel cocktail. It is good for you, it tastes amazing and it has a relaxing effect on the body and mind after a long conference day. First we add coconut water, the great re-hydrator. It contains the electrolytes calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. …
