Last night, we watched the documentary The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist. I got about three hours of sleep last night after watching that. Thank you, Pope Leo, for weighing in. I hope any one of these tech bros might be listening to the voice of reason.
..."Third, only 9 percent of those surveyed said they actually know a lot about how to maintain brain health."...here's a big fricking clue: stop taking all vaccines and drugs. Stop poisoning yourself with toxins from everyday use and the environment you live in. Better health of any type is the subtraction of harmful toxins and poisons...not the addition of more drugs and supplements.
Regarding brain health: I find it odd that the Alzheimer's Association and Rush University studies did not mention the impact of social and family connections on cognitive aging. Or, maybe they did but it didn't make the final cut for today's edition. Harvard, Lancet, and the National Institute on Aging are just a few that published studies highlighting social connections to prevent isolation/loneliness, reduce risk, and slow cognitive decline. I'm not against reading of course, and I'm not suggesting this is an either/or. But, my experience with elderly relatives going back decades has showed me that surrounding elderly family members with family and friends eliminates isolation, improves other health behaviors, and gives them purpose.
