David Sinclair says we’ll find out this year whether aging is reversible.
His lab reversed biological age in animals by 75% in six weeks. The FDA has cleared the first human trial.
Aging may be information loss.
Information can be restored.

This is the best explanation I have heard of how AI is impacting the software landscape. Not just the stocks, but the actual fundamentals of the businesses underneath
From AI Czar David Sacks himself
"You take a product like Salesforce that deals with all your customer contracts and revenue. You are not going to replace that with code that has been spit out of a coding assistant that has not been fully vetted
Think about how many bug reports on Salesforce's code base over the last 25 years. Maybe millions of them. That system has been tested across thousands of large customers and enterprises
The idea that you are just going to rip out that system and replace with code that has been probabilistically generated by an AI engine yesterday, with a small team to maintain it internally, just does not seem realistic to me"

FDR’s VP Henry Wallace gave the best description of the US version
ALT The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection. ~quoted in the New York Times, April 9, 1944 ― Henry A. Wallace

At The Hub Live Day 2 at #ClimateWeekNYC, @hl_clarkson emphasized the role of subnational governments in achieving 1.5 degrees: “So much of this transition work must happen at the local level... because subnational governments are ready to deliver, and they are ambitious." 1/3

“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder,” according to 20th-century historian Arnold Toynbee.
He claimed every great culture collapses internally due to a divergence in values between the ruling class and the common people…🧵 (thread)

This is going to devastate the Florida housing market.
What a fiasco. The losses the banks are going to take are massive. Tens of thousands of retirees will leave.
The only thing that makes sense is to level these condos and rebuild.

One major problem for the Housing Market is that homebuyers are not responding to lower mortgage rates.
Rates have dropped from 7.2% to 6.4% over the last 3 months.
And there has been no bounce back in buyer demand.
In fact - mortgage purchase applications just came in at a level -9.0% below last year. And remain at the lowest level in decades.
Rates are going to need to drop by a lot for it to make any impact on buyers. Probably into the low 5s.

All the climate scientists on Twitter are freaking out and in near panic. All the media are the opposite. I 100% believe the media are committing a new, as yet undefined, form of negligence so vast that it is a crime against humanity.
