The denial of age, the cult of self, the grandiose vision of a technological utopia and the narcissitic indifference to the little people and the young
Thats what we are fighting
Ill dive to the depths of the ocean
To bring you a treasure
Ill wrap you up in my love and keep you satisfied for ever
Ill keep all the hurt in the world from getting through to you
Two weeks to the Tower

I question Big Data driven by the view more is better, new is better and prevention is better
I challenge the 4 P slogan of predictive preventative personalised participatory medicine tied to data science

Οι εκλογές της Κυριακής θα καθορίσουν τη μοίρα της βραζιλιάνικης δημοκρατίας, τη μοίρα της λατινοαμερικανικής κυριαρχίας και την σωτηρία των τροπικών δασών του Αμαζόνιου — δηλαδή, τη μοίρα ολόκληρης της Ανθρωπότητας.
Σ' έναν υγιή κόσμο, οι εντεινόμενες προσπάθειες του Τραμπ και του Ζάκερμπεργκ να επαναφέρουν τον Μπολσονάρο στην εξουσία θα αποτελούσαν πρωτοσέλιδο, αλλά, δυστυχώς… δεν είμαστε αρκετά τυχεροί να ζούμε σε σ' έναν τέτοιο κόσμο.
Αντ' αυτού, ζούμε σ' έναν κόσμο που κάνει τα στραβά μάτια όσο Τραμπ και Ζάκερμπεργκ επενδύουν τόσα στη νίκη Μπολσονάρο (δηλαδή στην ήττα της Ανθρωπότητας) στον δεύτερο γύρο της Κυριακής.

The fall in dementia risk in UK is due to reduced illiteracy and better education rather than improved health care
Trying to cure neurodegenerative diseases is like attempting to put a person on Mars without knowing Newton’s or Einstein’s laws.
We need to better understand what causes neurones to become vulnerable and then accelerate their premature death
Birds mostly remain well until they die but not so humans or even dogs
How many humans die painlessly in their sleep without any chronic mental or physical handicap?

Medical progress, through technological advance is a neoliberal myth promoted by for profit corporations
Entrepreneurs regard patients as resources to be genomically data mined in the hope that AI will spew out the structure of molecules that will abolish ageing and disease
These people have replaced the standard norms of science ( communism,universalism,disinterestedness and scepticism) with capitalism, advocacy, egoism and differentialism
They love slogans and punch lines
Poverty, illiteracy and social inequality are the main risk factors for reduced health and lifespan.
Wigs and bot tox, ignorance and shamelessness, rich old fruit flies
‘We are humanitarians first and foremost’
‘Its not about profits its about people’
I do not believe ageing is a disease
Parkinson’s and Alzheimers disease are at risk of being used as a trojan horse for the healthspan longevity racket
Down with concierge physicians working in longevity clinics for the rich and medical influencers who are part of the decentralised science movement leveraging blockchain and subverting medical professionalism.

It saddens me that the wood’s beautiful fungi and toadstools are so often desecrated i suspect mainly by vandals
