Thread Guy reacts to a Ray Dalio birthday clip to argue that the health-optimization podcast era has topped, with Brian Johnson as the cultural peak. He sees a coming reversal toward 'Lindy' vice consumption such as wine and tobacco. He says public alcohol stocks are down badly and likely at a cultural bottom, naming Budweiser Brewing, Heineken, Constellation Brands, and Brown-Forman as watch setups. He also flags Philip Morris as a Lindy tobacco name.
