I was thinking about that, not doing something in the hidden costs of that with it all for a six month moratorium on development of AI because of chat GPT. Maybe we should not worry about it writing and passing the bar and hoping to make some advances in Alzheimer's. That just drives me crazy. What do you mean pause technology? All right, so there's no chance that was not going to happen anyway because certainly the Chinese and Google and Apple. You can't do it. No Moore's Law. There's no Rakers while like singularity exponential growth in medicine. Why not? Is that because it's overly regulated? My sense is medicine is not like that maybe because the

We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare. Using information gleaned from our blood and genes and tapping into the data revolution made possible by AI, doctors can catch the onset of disease years before symptoms arise, revolutionizing prevention. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their “healthspan”―the number of healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine.

Hood, Price, and Shermer discuss: why we age and die • sickcare vs. healthcare • the 10 most popular drugs in the U.S. work for only about 10% of treated people • chronological age ≠ biological age • life expectancy, life span, longevity, and healthspan • why eliminating all cancers would only increase average life span by 3 years • genome vs. phenome • gut biome • optimizing brain function • brain plasticity • sleep, nutrition, exercise • Alzheimer’s • AI and quantum computing for better health.
