I'm not taking a stance on whether inflammation drives cancer, but I will say it's very true that GLP-1 drugs reduce inflammation—a lot! Tirzepatide at any dose greatly reduced levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, two important inflammation markers:

Chronic inflammation is a driver of cancer. Glp1s help mitigate that fr

A new longevity stem cell therapy in monkeys showed an estimated 3–5 yrs of biological age reversal, across 54% of tissues. Scaled cautiously to humans, could correspond to ~9–15 years of rejuvenation. If this replicates, it's a big deal. 🧵

Psychedelics reopen a key developmental period of heightened neuroplasticity in the brain of mice. These windows may allow for rapid learning that normally close after childhood.

This is a co-option tactic. The system simply can’t let Nick have a monopoly within that segment. They will flood that segment with actors they control and dilute the original messaging in the process. “Groyper” will soon just be another arm of maga without all the antisemitism.

Its a ploy to realign Putin with this West, and away from China’s sphere of influence. Its a bad and mistaken plan, but its their plan nonetheless.

China's intelligent missile production line is AI controlled. No human needed other than for inspections. More than 100 missiles per day. This kind of production line has been widely used for fighters, hypersonic missiles, drones, cars and iPhones.

This is big. OpenAI and Retro used a custom model to make cellular reprogramming into stem cells ~50× better, faster, and safer. Similar Wright brothers’ glider to a jet engine overnight. We may be the first generation who won't die. Let's take a look at what they did. 🧵
