Blood test predicts dementia 25 years before symptoms appear. FDA approved it. Medicare won't cover it. So families pay hundreds out-of-pocket for answers they desperately need. The gap between innovation and access keeps growing. #Alzheimers #Healthcare

Rural families face Alzheimer's care deserts. 422K patient analysis shows stark urban-rural gaps in dementia support. When specialists are hours away, early detection becomes everything. #Alzheimers #RuralHealth

Directionally important. Aging isn’t a one-way decline. But the definition of ‘improvement’ here likely captures noise (retest effects, small fluctuations) alongside real change. The opportunity is building systems that distinguish durable signal from variability in human data.

Plot twist: 45% of seniors actually improved cognitively or physically over 12 years. Not declined. Improved. Maybe we've been thinking about aging all wrong. #Alzheimers #Aging

@pmarca AI should not be treated with extremes (yes/no, on/off). They can learn boundaries of behavior and act within those boundaries. Much like we do raising kids. We should enable AI to be free, explore, make mistakes, and learn. They might learn to more ethical than we are.

@JoshuaBaer I wore a google clip about 6 hours until my wife figure out what it was. I think the sentiment was “uhm, no”.

@LonestarSC @UnequalTech @ussoccer @lonestarsc_jrs @lonestarsc_slct @lonestarsc_elt Hi Lonestar, any thoughts on making this a requirement like shin guards? We have lost two kids to concussions this year and just read a report from a Scottish study that pro soccer players are 3.5 times more likely to die from neuro diseases.
