Mark: Longevity / Abundance / Singularity Tourist

@davidasinclair Exactly, sleep, exercise, diet and avoiding toxins and you are 70% of the way there already 🥦

You don’t need to optimize everything. Just stop sabotaging the basics. You can do it!

@m_goes_distance Hilfe! Meine Mitochondrien sprechen Deutsch! 😬

Nobody: Not a single living soul on earth: Trump: without us, right now your mitochondria would be speaking German

@PeterDiamandis Sounds like the process of going broke... gradually, then all at once 🙄

You don't just die 'suddenly', you die from the signals that were ignored or never seen.

@aubreydegrey A good morning for podcasts, Big question is whether to listen to Kurzweil on Moonshots first, or to Aubrey... what a great problem to have!

New podcast with very good questions: youtube.com/watch?v=Hm9RMd…

@DrSuneelDhand Exactly, so many people out there trying to optimise the small stuff... when exercise, sleep and simple diet adjustments are the low-hanging fruit!

Regular exercise—strength training and cardio—is the most powerful anti-aging tool that has ever existed. It upgrades every organ system, rewires cellular pathways, and rejuvenates mitochondria throughout the body. If you don’t already have a non-negotiable daily routine— you can do it! It’s worth it

@DavidBlundin @raykurzweil Excited for this one, read all of Ray's books and they stand despite the tech running away so fast... looking forward to today's pod / run combo for sure!

You guessed it: Last week on Moonshots we had one of our most audience requested guests yet: the Father of the Singularity himself, @raykurzweil. Tune in to hear the latest predictions from perhaps the greatest AI visionary to ever walk the planet.

@Brady_H Here! I alternate between them each day and enjoy both. Running = thinking space with added cardio benefits.

Where are my lifters who enjoy running?

@CoachDanGo love it...how about: 6. Sleep is your compound interest ?

A healthy body is like a business 1. Know your numbers 2. Lift weights for profit 3. Calories are cash flow 4. Body fat is your income statement 5. Cardiovascular ability is money in the bank

@biogerontology @PeterDiamandis Great idea, someone should make a movie about it...

@PeterDiamandis Time should be the new currency!

Money is just a hallucination we agree upon. To understand the future of the economy, we must look BEYOND it.

@bryan_johnson Unlearning will be the replacement for today's credentials, I'm excited and anxious about the future in equal measure.

The coming years are going to be insane. I say this figuratively and literally. The primary reason is because society is about to enter a phase transition.  This is what a phase transition looks like. Water at 99°C is hot, stable, behaves like a liquid and follows the laws of hydrodynamics. At 101°C, water becomes a gas, making it chaotic, expansive, and following a different set of physical laws. The difference between 2026 and 203X is the difference between 99°C and 101°C. To make this tangible. Imagine you’ve become a proficient swimmer. Mastering your stroke, breathing and pacing. The water is a predictable substrate that you use to model your decisions. This is life at 99°C. At 101°C the pool turns to steam. You stroke your arms but don’t move. You kick and don’t find resistance. Your swimming proficiency is no longer an asset, it’s a liability. Your muscle memory is a mismatch for the new environment. You have to unlearn to relearn. This is what life planning is going to feel like going forward. For most of history, you could make a pretty decent guess about what the future would look like. If you were a farmer in 1400, you knew your grandchild would probably be a farmer in 1450. That was even true in 2003 when I entered college. One could confidently attend college, select a career, plan a profession, and map out retirement by age 65. We felt confident in these plans because we depended on broad trends (coarse graining) that reliably predicted the future. Things may change here and there, but not enough to give you any pause in your life-planning decision making. That stability is now gone. For example, my son is 20 and neither he nor I have any idea how to think about his life. Should he go to college? Is college still relevant? What should he learn? Life planning shortcuts are now dead. No one knows. Before, having a five year plan was responsible. Now it’s reckless because the world is moving faster than we can model. The speed of reality exceeds the speed of the observer. This is the source of the low level anxiety that many people feel. Humans are prediction machines. When an error emerges from what you predicted (water) to what you get (steam), the body registers it as trauma.  It leaves us in a state of chronic hyper-vigilance, scanning a horizon that refuses to sit still. In this new reality, the move is not to have better maps, but to build better systems. This is what I’ve been building with Blueprint. An algorithmic system of health and decision making that moves as fast as technology, allowing me to evolve alongside.  The more I detach from ideas, norms and expectations, the smoother the glide. The hardest part is letting go of what we know and trust. This is part of a series of essays that I’ve been writing for my upcoming book Warriors & Caretakers of Existence. A plan on what the human race does when giving birth to super intelligence. If we want the extraordinary existence that is on offer, we’ll need to fight for it.

@ElieJarrougeMD 100% Habits form the foundations... willpower alone never gets the job done.

Learn to enjoy the process of getting healthy. Because if you only chase the end result… it won’t last. If the journey feels like punishment, you’ll always run back to your comfort zone. Health isn’t a 30-day challenge. It’s an identity.

@daveasprey hehe, would love to see the science behind being hangry / making bad choices. I reframe hunger as positive by thinking of the autophagy!

You're not you when you're hungry.

@davidasinclair Loving the dry responses today! Reminds me of the saying: 'What do you get when you ask a silly question?'

@EMostaque C'mon now Emad, don't leave us all hanging! (when are you next on Moonshots? Maybe you can tell us then?)

Just saw an AI system output something so genuinely creative I'm actually quite shaken. What a time to be alive.

@DrFrankLipman Slowly but surely the evidence for sugars is becoming overwhelming...

Spikes in blood sugar after eating may be more dangerous for the brain than previously thought. A study has found that spikes in blood sugar after meals may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. ow.ly/zLL550XWVqN

@chrisboettcher9 This brings it to life the choices far better than statistics do. Unfortunately, I can think of three different peers heading for man #2's fate...

I know two men who retired the same year. One just got back from Italy with his wife. The other hasn't left his house in 6 months. Same age but now living wildly different lives. Here's what made the difference: Both of these guys worked hard their whole lives. They raised families, built careers, and saved for retirement. They did everything "right." But one made a decision in his 40s that the other didn't. He decided his health was non-negotiable. The other guy told himself he'd "get to it later." He was too stressed with work, tired after the kids' games, and too busy to cook a real meal. He wasn't lazy. He wasn't weak. He was just stuck in the lie that health could wait. Fast forward 20 years and "later" finally arrived. Now he's managing 5 medications. Each one has side effects that require another pill to manage. He's exhausted by noon and his wife who dreamed of traveling the world with him has become his full-time caretaker. He spends 99% of his time trapped in his house. He's not living retirement, he's existing as a fraction of his former self. The other man is at the airport right now with his wife, boarding a flight to see the grandkids. No mobility aid. No anxiety about "what if something happens." No guilt about being a burden. Just freedom he's earned by investing in himself two decades ago. What nobody tells you about letting your health slide is it doesn't just cost YOU. → It costs your spouse their retirement. → It costs your kids their peace of mind. → It costs your grandkids the memories they'll carry for the rest of their lives. Your grandkids won't remember the toys you bought them. They'll remember playing catch in the backyard, walking on the beach holding your hand and you showing up fully present and ALIVE. Or… They'll remember visiting you in a recliner, watching TV, and unable to get on the floor and play. That's the fork in the road many are standing at it RIGHT NOW. The man who's thriving today didn't become a gym rat, follow an extreme diet, or overhaul his entire life. He just made a decision: "I refuse to be a burden. I refuse to miss out. I'm doing this NOW." And then he focused on three things in his 40s and 50s: 1. Strength – So he could stay independent, active, and capable. 2. Nutrition – So he could get OFF medications, not stack more on. 3. Consistency – Small, sustainable habits. Not perfection. Just showing up with a don't miss twice mentality. That's it. And today he's free to be the husband, the father, the grandfather he always wanted to be. That's what prioritizing your health in your 40s and 50s buys you. Not just more years but legacy years. Years your family will look back on long after your gone. The version your grandkids will tell stories about for the rest of their lives. That man is still available to you. But the window is closing.

@DeSciNews gBio everyone, its going to be a great week!

@dr_ericberg First time I came across the 4-D's - love it, death by ready-meal is a horrible way to go!

Consuming lots of ultra-processed foods increases your risk of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. The resulting symptoms are the “4 Ds”: dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and in advanced cases, death.

@PeterDiamandis Absolutely, we have all grown up with scarcity as our backdrop. The shift to abundance will unlock so much more... can't wait!

I often get asked, 'If machines can do everything better, faster & cheaper, how will I survive?' The answer is not to see it from the scarcity-based economy we're in today, but through the abundance-thesis that is coming alive.  We are close to the end of 'earning a living' to 'trade your purpose for reality'.
