I know a lot of my Amazing Biotech friends here in X cover the CRISPR space and the cell engineering space. I don't know any that are leading the TechBio space. That is why I focus a lot on this theme. It has one of the most massive TAMs possible for biotech I have ever seen.
@KTmBoyle Not until we had children did I really understand the full truthfulness of what you have written. My wife and all loving and dedicated mothers are the backbone and the hope of civilization.
I use “civilization” very specifically because the civilizing force in the family is the mother. My main job as the mother of unruly, feral boys is to teach them virtue— but also help them integrate into society. To lead in virtuous ways. This in turn makes me think constantly about my own virtue and the example I set for them.
Good mothers model virtuous behavior, not only for their children but for their communities. Fewer mothers means fewer people nurturing civilization.
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered: "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
"People over the age of 50 actually represent over 60% of the value created in economies around the world."

Most people get goals all wrong.

• Mission-level goals
• High hard goals
• Clear goals
The first two are obvious, but the last is painfully overlooked (and it triggers flow): 🧵👇

Growing old is not a death sentence.
Most of us arrive in our fifties feeling that the cage––of the body & brain––has gotten smaller.
But really, we’re in a prison of our own making.
What’s actually shrunk is our mindset.
Harvard's “Counterclockwise Study" changes everything:
Everything we thought we knew about aging is wrong.
Before the 1970s, scientists thought of aging as a long, slow rot.
Everyone agreed: depression, loneliness, and cognitive decline were inevitable, and there was nothing we could do about these facts.
Not so fast: 🧵👇
My new book "From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life" is an eight-year deep dive into the drivers of happiness as we age. You don't have to leave your happiness up to chance.
