The fastest-growing segment of the population is those aged 65+r, projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.6% through 2036. However, as of 2024, there are over 1 million licensed physicians in the U.S., yet only 7,000 are board-certified geriatricians. #activeaging

Women Live Longer—So Why Are They Sicker As They Age?

A THOUGHT TO PONDER: We need to normalize healthy aging instead of exceptionalizing it. When we act surprised that older adults thrive, we reinforce the idea that decline is the norm and vitality is an anomaly. It isn’t.

One of the most overlooked trends shaping 2026 isn’t a lack of information—it’s an overwhelming abundance of it. The result? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to consume, understand, trust, and act on information.

This is research paralysis.

[Colin Milner @colinmilner]

A trend to watch in 2026: Science-Washing.
As the first wave of Baby Boomers turns eighty, billions—perhaps trillions—of dollars will surge toward a single, urgent desire: not merely to live longer, but to live better. History tells us what happens next.

Question: If longer lives coincide with AI-driven reductions in traditional work, how do we sustain purpose, contribution, and identity across a 90- or 100-year life?
