Ever notice how every time someone talks about obesity, they point fingers at the couch? “People just don’t move like they used to,” they say, with the smug assurance of someone who thinks the cure for rising waistlines is a gym membership and a better attitude.

What if humanity’s smartest invention turns out to be its last? That’s the question AI experts, ethicists, and a growing chorus of tech whistleblowers are asking as artificial intelligence barrels forward—unchecked, unregulated, and largely misunderstood.

What if the so-called “inevitable” decline of aging isn’t inevitable at all? A new study in Nature Aging just threw a wrench into one of modern medicine’s favorite theories: that inflammation naturally worsens with age. Turns out, that only seems to happen if you live like most of us in the industrialized world—plugged in, stressed out, and boxed up. Meanwhile, Indigenous elders, untouched by our modern conveniences, age without that slow-burn internal fire we call inflammation. Maybe the problem isn’t age. Maybe it’s us.

Do you remember how it felt that first winter of the pandemic? The eerie silence in the streets, the masks on every face, the uncertainty hanging in the air like fog. Now, five years later, just when life was starting to feel almost normal again, a new COVID variant, NB.1.8.1, is quietly making its way around the globe.
