️Meet the rockstars from my SPARTA Strength Class at the Malden Senior Center! Here, age (65-97!), background, or ability don't define us. We don't just lift weights—we lift each other.
ALL are welcome, ALL are an #inspiration. This is what true strength looks like.

#Today 10
Good day!
We’re having mildly hot days with cool nights and no rain. I walk each morning, then spend my days editing. Not very exciting.
All that changes is if I hike, which I try to schedule around posting to the blog & the weekends when people clog the local trails.
Be everwell.

**Megatrend #11** —"The future is not just extending lifespan, but our healthspan, by treating aging itself." - Futurist Jim Carroll
(Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series on 30 Megatrends, which he first outlined in his book Dancing in the Rain: How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times. The trends were shared in the book as a way of demonstrating that, despite any period of economic volatility, there is always long-term opportunity to be found. The book is now in print - learn more at dancing.jimcarroll.com)
Nobody wants to get old. Everybody will. The age-old dilemma, if you pardon the pun.
But lifespan extension through regenerative medicine, genetic therapies, and anti-aging technologies is creating new markets and challenging our assumptions about career timelines, retirement, and generational planning. The dawn of a new era in the science of longevity is upon us, offering a comprehensive overview of the rapidly advancing field dedicated to understanding and extending human life.

There's a lot of detail that follows, but it's worthwhile to dig into this in the context of megatrend thinking. Coming together all at once is a lot of science, technology (AI), venture capital money, big, bold thinking, and creative R&D passion. In that context, the focus of this science has fundamentally shifted from merely extending lifespan to enhancing **healthspan** — the period of life spent in good health, free from chronic disease and disability.
This paradigm shift recognizes that adding years to life has little value without maintaining quality of life and functional independence.
Of course, with all this science and technology comes an age-old debate. (Pardon the pun again.) The fixed ceiling perspective argues that human biology has a programmed limit, with data suggesting a plateau around 115-125 years - i.e. we will never get older than that. In contrast, the negligible senescence theory points to species like the Greenland shark or the immortal jellyfish, which show no age-related decline. This suggests that aging is a technical problem that can ultimately be solved.
Overall, this is a very significant megatrend to watch, given how quickly it is moving but also given how our fascination with it will never age. (Sorry)

Good day!
A milestone of sorts…
When perform my targeted edits on a book, I always begin with the chapters most in need. I’m now through those for Book-4.
I’m 17% of the way. The process is slow, but works.
It was hot yesterday, cool weather expected tomorrow.
Be everwell.

Only seen snippets of reviews so far.
And some photos.
You're going to take this the wrong, wrong way I'm guessing.
But I've got a really bad feeling about this book.
Not oversharing, not too honest, more "spot on target" to a central delicate issue or two.
Maybe something that hasn't really been "solved".

You haven't really experienced the full weight of age til you're at the doctor's office for a routine health check and lose a hearing aid in the crowded waiting room because it gets tangled up with your glasses and the ear strings on an N95 mask.
Moreover, the preliminary questionnaire is 5 pages long and asks if I leak urine or fall down (I don't leak urine except when I fall down!).
I went to circle "less than 1 drink per month" and saw someone had already circled "3-4 per day." WTF.

Do you know how old you are without working it out? Most of the time I don’t.
Anyway, the older I get the more impressive it is that I can do a full flat footed squat, easily get on and off the floor, and (almost) do the splits, despite being a little overweight.
All you spring chickens, don’t stop moving in ways you don’t want to stop being able to move. Build these movements into your daily life.
#Today 08
Good day!
This is our day this week to inch over 90F (33C), then it’s back down. We’ll reach that this afternoon. Currently, pre sunrise, it’s 60F (15.5C).
Meanwhile, my editing pace has been astonishing, but I need to take a break for a hike soon before I crash.
Be everwell.

A study has found that rather than growing old gradually, we age in three bursts. Previously it was though that there may have been two burst 44 and 60, but now it is thought that it is actually about 40, 60 and 80. At these ages there is molecular decline, affecting muscles and skin. Immune cells also die affecting diseases such as heart disease and increasing vulnerability to illnesses. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2485338-rapid-bursts-of-ageing-are-causing-a-total-rethink-of-how-we-grow-old/

@BigJackBrass Sorry to hear it! I suffer from late middle age, so though it's luckily not constant, I get fatigue, drowsiness and brain fog every day at half past one. When hiking, I simply crash out on the ground for half an hour every time this happens. Can't go on otherwise!
