MALCOLM NESSET

STATISTICALLYINCONVENIENT.

I build companies, train like ageing is a personal insult, and you’ll often find me out dancing in the evenings.

There’s a lot I want to do. And I plan to have a damn good time doing it.

Life’s too short to just think about everything you want to do. Do something about it. See what happens!

Ambition for the work. Energy for the rest of life.

01 / Selected stories

It starts with experience.

On quitting alcohol, having to start again and finding out what the body can handle. Three personal pieces I’ve published at Live Longer.

The Wrong Arm (opens in a new tab)

A thermometer measured on the wrong arm. Three days of vancomycin. Then the ringing began. My own story of tinnitus, hearing loss and the road back.

My personal longevity protocol (opens in a new tab)

How I structure training, fasting, sauna, cold, sleep and recovery. One person’s routines and measurements, not a recommendation for anyone else.

03 / The person behind it

A lot I want to build.
A life I want to be in.

I like ideas becoming real, training that asks something of me and music that makes standing still impossible. Sobriety hasn’t made my ambitions smaller. I want to be present for more of life.

THE OUTLIER JOURNEY
THE STARTING POINT

More to give.

I’m curious about what I can make of the starting point I’ve been given.

The story behind the name

Rarity is not the achievement. Applied pressure is.

One person / Five outliers

1 in 328 billion*

Not more special.
Just a statistically ridiculous combination.

* An illustrative calculation based on five estimates. Not a scientific probability.

The math behind the number
Personality
ENTJ-AEstimate: ≈ 0.9%
Blood type
AB Rh−Estimate: 0.6%
Hormones · age 41
46.8 nmol/LEstimate: ≈ 0.1%
Body fat
≈ 8%Estimate: ≈ 1%
Cognition
IQ 138Estimate: 0.565%

0.009 × 0.006 × 0.001 × 0.01 × 0.00565
≈ 1 / 328 000 000 000

The number comes from multiplying the five estimates. The estimates use different comparison groups, and multiplying them treats the traits as independent. I use the phrase as a playful signature, not as a measure of how rare a person is.
