Hey @netflix, what about creating "White Mirror" to show all the good ways we could use technology to improve society.
These dystopian shows are really depressing. Yet, it's through good science fiction that we spark the imagination of citizens to build the future.

People want to feel like athletes.
Optimized sleep, nutrition, health, longevity, mental health, social life.
The high-performance lifestyle will be mainstream in 5/10 years.

It has been swimming in the ocean since 1627. It was born before Isaac Newton.

The more interest there is in longevity, the faster progress will be made.
People don’t realize how close we are getting to succeeding in reversing aging. That's why we need to talk about it and make the longevity movement much bigger.

Forecast is an app to build community around crowdsourced predictions.
Will it help find the truth?
It would be great to push people to have skin in the game and bet on their predictions the way @balajis suggested.

Luxury Beliefs are Status Symbols
"Luxury beliefs have, to a large extent, replaced luxury goods.
Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes."

How can you not be fascinated with the future of health optimization and longevity?
The next decade will be about building a preventive health system that comes *before* healthcare.
In 2030, health will be vastly different from now.

Will Apple Solve the Longevity Problem?

Bio-feedbacks will change the way we live, from health to mental health.
We have physiological data that shows the effect of nutritional diet on metabolism. You can see the glucose spike after a cookie.
Do we have graphs that show the effect of information diet on neurology? Can we see the dopamine spike after a tweet?

The idea of reducing your personal runway to the minimum is essential & still underrated; it buys you time to figure things out and make things happen
Most important metric for an individual? Probably your personal runway, namely your savings divided by your burn rate. Maximizing this can be easier than making more money. For example, it's often easier to cut burn by 3X (by moving abroad) than to increase your net worth by 3X.

Some health & wellness practices you could experiment with in 2022:
• Sauna
• Cold showers
• Extended fasts
• Being optimistic
• Zone 2 training
• Strength training
• Time-restricted eating
• Walking after your meals
• Monitoring your health metrics

Make more asymmetric bets:
- DM a founder for a job
- cold email someone you admire
- ask a famous company for a partnership
If you try enough, it will work at some point, with an asymmetric return
Just need to get used to the discomfort of being out there, trying repeatedly

Imagine if we overcame aging and people could live a healthy & active life for as long as they wish.
Many people chose to focus on the potential costs & negative side effects.
But what might be some of the hidden benefits of longevity?

barcelona is such a fit city, gyms are full, lots of people training in parks/ running, you see jacked people daily
yet, the gym quality/culture is overall very bad
big opportunity to build serious gyms in the city (and in europe overall)

For me, it doesn’t get any better than free weights, kettlebells, and power racks.
