knowing whose advice to take and about what – such an underrated factor in decision-making reminds me of Ray Dalio's method of "believability weighting" (assigning more weight to opinions of ppl who've successfully accomplished the thing in question & have clear explanations)

basically the same tech – but one helps ppl with parkinson's walk, while the other regulates heartbeats the tech: pulse generator put under the skin & connected to needed sites w/ electrodes v cool how timely electrical pulses have such dif impacts based on *where* they're used

ppl say don’t “multitask”, but i think what they mean is don’t “multi-focus”. many tasks don’t require attention eg. u can easily walk, chew gum, and listen to an audio book (multi-task) vs. read and watch a movie (multi-focus)

Why don’t we target the inevitable cause of our decline, aging, before it happens? Excited to announce a moonshot fund to catalyze the longevity field to new heights. We won’t stop until we all have agency over how long we can live in good health.

@AviSchiffmann what's even COOLER than the colour imo, is that it's caused by particles going FASTER than the surrounding light (although relativity says nothing can go faster than light in a vacuum, light slows down in mediums like water (~.75c) so some particles can go faster than it)
