The priority shift is because I’m worried that a natural or manmade catastrophe stops the resupply ships coming from Earth, causing the colony to die out.
We can make the Moon city self-growing in less than 10 years, but Mars will take 20+ years due to the 26 month iteration cycle.
That is what matters most.
There is also an AI bonus element, but the prime directive must be ensuring the long-term survival of consciousness.

Why Marathon Training is Shortening Your Life
Your heart isn't built for chronic punishment. The same cardiovascular stress that makes you endure pain and suffering for longer can also make you vulnerable.
Exercise saves lives. That's undisputed. But chronic high-intensity training creates a paradox: veteran endurance athletes show elevated coronary calcification, atrial fibrillation rates five times higher than sedentary people, and myocardial scarring typically seen in cardiac patients.
The mechanism is straightforward. During sustained hard efforts, your heart pumps five to six times its resting volume. After 60 minutes, this mechanical stretch overwhelms adaptation capacity.
Adrenaline spikes, free radicals accumulate, and microscopic tears appear in cardiac tissue. Do this once, it heals. Do this weekly for years, scar tissue accumulates.
Studies of marathoners completing races show over half have elevated troponin levels, a cardiac injury marker cardiologists associate with heart attacks. These are micro-tears from mechanical stress. Repeat exposure causes chamber dilation, wall thickening, and permanent fibrosis.
The data is clear. A 52,000-person study tracked runners for 30 years. Runners who covered 5 to 20 miles weekly at a comfortable pace lived 19% longer than non-runners. Those exceeding 25 miles weekly or running faster than 7.5 mph pace saw benefits disappear entirely. Running seven days per week eliminated longevity gains.
A separate Copenhagen study found moderate joggers lived six years longer than sedentary controls, but extreme exercisers showed no advantage. The relationship mirrors alcohol consumption, a U-shaped mortality curve where both extremes increase risk.
Peak fitness on a treadmill test occurs around 7 to 7.5 mph. Beyond that threshold, further cardiovascular conditioning provides no additional mortality benefit.
The plateau is real.
Marathoner autopsies reveal enlarged, scarred hearts. One legendary ultrarunner died at 50 during a routine 12-mile run. His autopsy showed idiopathic cardiomyopathy, likely accumulated damage from decades of extreme training.
A Minnesota study found 25-year marathon veterans had 62% more coronary plaque than sedentary controls despite better traditional risk factors.
Animal studies offer hope. Mice run to exhaustion daily for four months developed the same cardiac pathology. When training stopped, hearts normalized. Fibrosis reversed. Electrical instability resolved.
The prescription is simple. Walk daily, as much as possible. Run or perform vigorous exercise 15 to 40 minutes, two to five days weekly, at a conversational pace around 10-minute miles. Your peak heart rate during brief intervals is fine. Sustained Zone 4 or 5 efforts are not.
Humans evolved for intermittent intensity followed by recovery. Persistence hunting required stamina, not speed. Modern endurance culture mistakes suffering for progress. Your heart needs pulsatile stress, work followed by genuine rest, not perpetual inflammation.
The moderate exerciser lives longest. Not the sedentary person, not the Ironman finisher. The person who moves daily and occasionally pushes hard, then backs off.
Combine walking, easy zone 2 activities (swimming, biking, running, rowing) with repeated sprint interval training and you are doing the optimum.
You don't need to suffer or learn to sustain pain to be fit. You don't need to aim for a VO2 max beyond 45 to live long.

Been quite the battle over 30 yrs:
1. ERCs + epigenetic noise don’t cause aging
2. Sirtuins don’t slow aging
3. Resveratrol doesn’t activate SIRT1
4. NMN is irrelevant to aging
5. Information Theory of Aging hasnt been tested
6. Reprogramming will cause cancer
Never give up!

@MedicalMedium Chat GPT part... Scientific studies do not show that eating eggs causes or worsens autoimmune diseases in healthy individuals. While some people with specific conditions (egg allergies orcertain autoimmune sensitivities) may need to avoid them, there’s no general population risk.

Why Eggs Make Us Sick
If you’re dealing with mystery symptoms, chronic illness, or autoimmune struggles… eggs could be quietly working against your healing.
Most people don’t know that eggs were used decades ago as a breeding ground for viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens in labs.
Today, those same bugs, passed down, mutated, and hidden, are at the root of so many chronic conditions and autoimmune disorders.
When you eat eggs, you’re feeding those pathogens, giving them fuel to grow, spread, and inflame your system, which then keeps you stuck in the cycle of symptoms.
This isn’t about blame, it’s about empowerment.
When you understand what’s really behind your illness, you can take steps to support your body in healing. Removing eggs is one of the most powerful things you can do to give your immune system a break and stop feeding what’s making you sick.
You’re not alone and your healing matters.

@bryan_johnson Like you are remembering being in the womb. You liked eyes closed at first. Water, hard to drink, enjoying being curled up. Then as you mention breath, like taking your first breath and breathing after birth.

Ok, here is my trip report from 4.67 grams of magic mushrooms, 24.9 mg of psilocybin. The dose used in modern clinical trials.
First, the experience was exhilarating. Positive in every way. I felt like a kid finding and exploring a new playground.
My sensory perception was dialed up to levels I must have felt as a kid but have been dulled with time. I experienced sense of touch with awe. Feeling my fingers rub together felt novel. Touching my skin and running my feet over the threaded quilt lit up my brain. It seemed that my mind was insatiably curious and wanted to deploy its sensors into the world and discover all things.
I felt the same sensory joy in moving my body. Rolling my joints, curving my back, curling up in a ball, flexing muscles and moving all about in a fluid fashion. My body felt nimble, supple, fit, and strong.
My sense of hearing was equally as elevated. It helped that I was also wearing my new hearing aids which restore frequencies I’d long stopped noticing. The music I listened to hit more fully than I have memory.
My facilitator gave me some water in a glass jar. The visuals of the light reflections, water dynamics and sensory experience of holding the glass were so fascinating that I forgot to drink. My brain wanted to stare, study and marvel.
One of the most satisfying things I discovered was taking huge, deep breaths. Inhaling life and fueling the body’s needs and wants. I did it over and over and over. This material of existence, all around us, was available and free to be mined. You just needed to breathe in.
(After peaking and coming down, I ate a salad. It tasted like the most delicious food I’d ever eaten. The flavor exploded in my mouth. I savored every bite.)
At one point, I felt like my entire body was still. I had a perceived sense of total body control. Like my heart had stopped. Complete stillness. This was surprising as I’m acutely tuned to my heart beat. I monitor my heart all day every day and can usually discern my heart rate by sensation. In that moment, I couldn’t feel my heart beat or any pulse pressure through my blood vessels. First time that’s ever happened. I asked Kate to check my heart rate on my wearable and it was mid 50s. I wasn’t worried. Just curious about my sensory experience.
With this heightened sense of sensory perception, it felt like my consciousness was dialed up to 10/10. I felt hyper aware and hyper alive.
It felt like mushrooms restored my perception to youthful levels, returning them to factory settings and dissolving my aged numbness.
Once my senses were reset, my attention sifted from the texture of existence to existence itself.
We spend most of our time playing games at the layers of people, dramas, companies, politics, jobs, money, ideologies, and status. Underneath these games is the knowing that physical death has been inevitable. Everyone before us has died.
When death is inevitable, people pick their game among a wide array of options including reincarnation, heaven, legacy, offspring, ancestral veneration, existentialism and many more. These frameworks make death soothing, a virtue, and something positive to be anticipated.
But what if death is no longer inevitable? I’m not suggesting immortality. I am suggesting a radical remake of human life. The speed of progress in AI, biology and medicine point to a new frontier of possibility. Are we cavemen-equivalent now compared to what we will be like in 50 years? It’s now harder to argue why we should limit our imagination.
With so much promise, why have we not shifted our societal attention to secure our own existence? To solve aging. To address existential risks. To care for our planet. Why are we still messing around with self destruction, war and ignoring preserving our own existence?
We work hard to be fit. To learn a skill. Build a relationship. To make money. When we identify an opportunity, we focus and work hard. It seems to me that we’re not yet aware or awake to the opportunity of what existence could become.
Whatever one’s life philosophy and belief of what happens after this life, the majority of us want to live to see tomorrow. We have stuff going on and things to look forward to. And when tomorrow arrives, we want to see the next day. Wanting tomorrow is functionally equivalent to wanting infinitely.
The want to exist is deeply embedded in all of us. Our actions prove this every day.
Humans have been the alpha form of intelligence for a while now, imposing our will upon all we can. Our powers have increased dramatically in the past few decades. We can edit our own DNA, design materials at the nano scale, and build thinking machines.
Our alpha status is now challenged by AI. Whether AI is friend or foe, and in what ways, and on what timelines is anyone’s guess. No one knows.
Mushrooms opened up my sensory awareness of this landscape to depths I hadn’t accessed before. My ability to see and understand felt like the movie Inception, where characters take a sedative to enter a different realm to carry out missions. A space as real as what we experience each day, but with different foundational pillars of reality.
It felt convincing that without the aid of a reality expanding intervention (like mushrooms), you can’t really see or understand this dimension, handicapping awareness.
While in this mushroom-induced dimension, it felt clear that we are about to start waking up from a slumber that has hypnotized us into accepting death. This will happen faster than people think. Once people see a practical path to extending a healthy life, they will adopt ferociously.
The body positivity movement came to mind. Most people don’t really want to be overweight and unhealthy. But when we want something we can’t achieve, we come up with moral frameworks about why we didn’t want it in the first place (i.e. sour grapes). Once GLP-1s came about, people’s attitudes changed overnight. The same will happen with aging. No one wants to be crippled and handicapped by age.
This awakening will also come about with the emergence of new ideologies.
Revolutions erupt when a civilization’s founding myth becomes incompatible with its reality. The system fractures, dissolves, and opens up space for new meaning to rush in and replace it.
This pattern has been repeated throughout history.
> The agrarian empires (800-200 BCE) ruled via tribal power and violence, creating a moral crisis that gave rise to Buddhism, Greek philosophy, Judaism and Confucianism.
> Feudalism (1600-1800) ruled via divine monarchy, creating a stagnation crisis that gave rise to rational inquiry, the scientific method, individual rights and democracy.
> Industrial capitalism (1848-1945) ruled via mechanization and labor exploitation, creating a crisis of alienation, mass poverty and urban chaos that gave rise to socialism, nationalism, regulation and collective rights.
> Liberal capitalism (1980-2025) ruled via consumer sovereignty and free markets, creating a crisis of attention capture, metabolic collapse and existential despair that will give rise to something new. Capitalism solved for scarcity. Its defining virtue was freedom to choose. Ironically and perhaps inevitably, compulsion replaced scarcity and freedom decayed into addiction.
Revolution is at our doorstep.
Our current systems are fractured, evolving, and opening up space for new meaning to rush in and replace it. Change has been a reliable feature of human society. It will happen on accelerated timescales given the pace of technological and scientific advance.
After journeying this terrain, I was left feeling unbridled enthusiasm for the future of existence. That we may be the equivalent of cavemen trying to anticipate a future that is unimaginable to our current minds. And that existence could be more exquisite than any can actually paint at this moment.
New archetypes will emerge: warriors and caretakers of existence. People who are defiant of death, and view self-destruction as primitive and low-status. Who take the continuation of human existence as seriously as profits, fame or power. They will emerge as our high-status societal idols.
The irony is that people thought this experience would collapse my interest in life and have me willfully kneeling to death.
To find truth though, one must always invert.
What seems more likely is that people use death to shield from the disappointment of not experiencing the potential of life without the limitations of death.
