#Today 31
Good day!
What a way to finish a month, with a hike. It wasn’t spectacular, but it was kinda perfect.
Later in the day, I did yoga stretches, which help prevent any stiffness. This morning, I’ll walk & there’ll just be some lingering fatigue.
I’ll also ready Book-2.
Be everwell.

New 30% mouse lifespan extension paper just dropped!
Another example of rapamycin + something increasing mouse lifespan more than rapamycin or something alone. In this case, the something is trametinib, an anti-cancer drug.

Fukuyama argues:
Against Life Extension
https://www.persuasion.community/p/against-life-extension?publication_id=61579&r=3ikjv
"The slowing of generational turnover is thus very likely to slow the rate of social #evolution and adaptation, in line with the old joke that the field of #economics advances one funeral at a time."
As people live longer, they may experience more age-related debilitation and cognitive decline, creating economic and caregiving challenges.
Evolutionary pressures suggest there are good reasons why humans don't naturally live indefinitely.
Policymakers and the public need to carefully weigh the potential downsides of dramatically extending human lifespan, not just focus on the individual benefits.
Research and investment in life extension should be approached with caution, given the risks of social stagnation and growing populations of chronically ill elderly.
#Today 30.1
Good day!
I went where there are typically crowds, found the seldom used trails, & only saw 5 people in five hours.
The weather was gorgeous. Sunny. 60s (F). Slight breeze. 9.7 miles (15.6K). 1795 feet (547m).
It was beyond perfect, a great way to end the month.
Be everwell.

It feels great to be 95. I mean, for those parts of me that still have feeling.

Sometimes life feels unfinished.
Not failure, not regret. Just a space where growth quietly continues.
Aging is not the end but the chance to keep becoming.

#Today 30
Good day!
My foots will be on paths again today, & I’ll have a lot more time for this hike.
I want my head right while I’m in the final stages of readying Book-2 for publication. It remains a new process for me.
Nature always puts me right.
Be everwell.

Age-related accumulation of phenylacetic acid, which is produced by breakdown of the amino acid phenylalanine by Clostridium species in the gut, leads to senescence of endothelial cells lining blood vessels, potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Short-chain fatty acids that are produced by other gut microbiota mitigate this effect.

"So what can we learn from them about the impact of technology on the ageing brain? A comprehensive new study ... provides important answers. Published in Nature Human Behaviour, it found no supporting evidence for the 'digital dementia' hypothesis. In fact, it found the use of computers, smartphones and the internet among people over 50 might actually be associated with lower rates of cognitive decline."

#Today 29
Good day!
The last 2-years, I didn’t start hiking until July. In 2025, I’ve already hiked 56-miles (90K).
I’m just getting started.
I’m also scrambling to ready Book-2 for publication.
I’m certainly not bored. That’s good. I live for being active, & being active makes it easier to live.
Be everwell.
