I remember my mother watching Jack LaLanne on our B&W TV as she did some ironing. (Early to mid 1960s). She didn't ever do any of his exercises. I think she was just ogling him.
I never went to gyms. I rode bikes, I built things, I made gardens, and I walked dogs. The dogs were big and needed lots of miles of walking. That all was good enough and I stayed healthy. I had a friend who seeing the joggers said "they treat their bodies like pets."
Now in my 70s, I still ride bikes. One is my 1973 Holdsworth Record, the other is an electric bike.
I bought a Garmin bike GPS for it. It is actually set up to operate with a cell phone to bring out all sorts of features. I decided not to do that. Now the GPS will track all sorts of things for training, altitude difference, set routes, and group rides. But the GPS mapping is what I really just needed. Well it shows me as an elite rider at 74 years old. Why? because my e-bike will go 20 mph on pedal assist even up hills. If I peddle hard I can achieve 28mph even though the bike is over 50 pounds. What a joke!
I think moderation in all things takes us farther in capable life span than the obsession for immortality. Those who think they will achieve that immortality will still get hit by a bus, die in a robbery, fall out of the sky in a plane, or succumb to some designer bio-weapon plague. Those that think they will have their consciousness uploaded in silicon chips will really have died already and the program of the download of their brain will, at best, be an interactive recording only to be lost when someone trips over the power cord or the machine malfunctions
I wish you the best Man and since we are on different continents I will never have the opportunity and privilege to ride side by side with you which my Swiss made recumbent:
Loved looking at you site on the bike. You rode hard core on that. I also liked that you wrote about the negatives of the bike. No bike is perfect and it is good to know what a rider does not like about it. You have faithfully stuck with that recumbent bike for 20 years so it must be "the right bike for you". I feel the same about my Holdsworth which I bought in 1973. Perhaps you have other bikes for commuting or other types of riding such as off road.
Truth must be said, that is not my website. I sent the link because it presented the bike. I have owned one for three years now and I just love it. I live at a 700 m 'high plateau', not far away from Switzerland and it is my only mean of transportation, to go to work or go shopping in the nearest valley. It is a very confortable bike and I have no serious critic about it. I have had two others recumbent in my life, a HP Velotechnik street racing and a US racing trike which I unfortunately had to sell while living in Ardèche since roads there and it's drivers were dangerous. I just loved both. I have a wonderful, magical, highly efficient Brompton when in a city (Brit engineers have brought more to humanity than the City of London and the Round Table mad men, LoL.
I would consider a either a recumbent trike or and upright trike when I get too old to feel confident in my balance on a 2 wheel bike anymore. The exercise in fresh air is always the best except in our Wisconsin winters. It is going to get to 15 degrees Fahrenheit to day -9 tonight.
You would not regret it Man and the happiness one enjoys while riding a trike will make you forget about the loss of confidence. It will be a fountain of youth and since the thing is much more anatomical than upright bikes, you will appreciate to have your back straight. Did you know it was a French who invented the recumbent cycles? Guy Mochet.
You can check the French wikipedia link for an interesting history (copy/paste and translate since the English version is different) of the recumbent concept.
I could hear Jack’s peppy voice panting from yet one more quick jog in place. lol
Those creepy rich guys take my head to the “Fantastic Voyage” and then boom “ The Andromida Strain” kicks in. These guys are like a the old goat gland doctor on Wolfman Jack’s commercials.
And is it all for naught?

We should not allow people who put all that junk in their body be buried when they die. The contamination to the soil! Somebody call Greta.
I love your stuff. Makes a person think long and hard. 👍👍
These poor sods aren't inspired by love of life, they're motivated by fear of death. They're literally doing it wrong. The future they entertain sounds like a living hell.
Without some higher purpose, (perhaps to determine one's duty and destiny, which are the same thing, really) while you pilot this remarkable container of animate mostly salty water, and making sure you have enough time to fulfil that duty/destiny, life-extension is at best mere vanity, at worst the shrinking in terror of the inevitable, even if it comes by the heat death of the Universe.
Is transformation to some higher state while in the physical body (per Thinking and Destiny by Harold Percival) possible? Who knows? But absent a clearer mandate, it will do for now.
The cool thing about having you modeled, Citizen, is knowing just how much of what to put into the water or the eggs or your prescriptions or your media channels to achieve some end for you by the supreme being (lower case, ie "Nanny State," Antichrist, or whatever you wish to call it). h/t Marshall McLuhan.
Your best commentary so far, so on point! My Grandmother lived to be 100 and was alert and healthy. She said to keep moving or you will die. She also had a philosophy of focusing on the one good trait in each person she knew, stay focused on that and you will get along with everyone. She also said to keep making new friends because she outlived most of her friends. I sure do miss her!
Johnson looks like he is being scanned at the doc more than a terminally ill cancer treatment (at least if those I’ve known). It’s sad and seems like he’s built a prison for himself: seemingly paradoxical- a fear of death greater than the will to live.
CMU researchers, in collaboration with NVIDIA, present ASAP, a two-stage framework for humanoid robot agility. It pre-trains motion policies on human data, then refines them with real-world corrections using a delta action model, which adjusts for simulation mismatches.
Abstract— Humanoid robots hold the potential for unparalleled versatility for performing human-like, whole-body skills.However, achieving agile and coordinated whole-body motionsremains a significant challenge due to the dynamics mismatchbetween simulation and the real world. Existing approaches,such as system identification (SysID) and domain randomization(DR) methods, often rely on labor-intensive parameter tuningor result in overly conservative policies that sacrifice agility.In this paper, we present ASAP
ASAP (Aligning Simulation and RealPhysics), a two-stage framework designed to tackle the dynamicsmismatch and enable agile humanoid whole-body skills. In thefirst stage, we pre-train motion tracking policies in simulationusing retargeted human motion data. In the second stage, wedeploy the policies in the real world and collect real-world data

On the problem(???) of "life extension", maybe there is an outlook that no one considers:
"…..in the current paradigm our sense of ‘self’ incorporates our entire body. Epidermis is what most all of us regard as the boundary of our ‘self’. Our ego’s existential attachment to our mind extends to include our entire physical being as ‘self’ – anchored by our mind as its center, director, and base of existence. Our abject fear of death is rooted in this attachment: we believe we ARE our mind/body, hopelessly clinging to an iron-clad conviction that when our physical form expires, our ‘self’ dies along with it.
In the next paradigm, we consciously WEAR our body. From our voyage on the ‘razor’s edge’ that is life (see Creation), our expanded awareness perceives our body as simply another component among all phenomena. This corresponds in concept to the way we infuse our identity into a job, relationship, etc. until its ‘lifetime’ ends, or wear a trademark outfit as personal presentation that we discard when it's identity has worn out….."
Once again, the distinctiveness of true biblical belief (+trust=faith) separates itself from the surrounding culture.... No matter the century. The apostle Paul said it best, "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come."
This article is great but the future you describe creeps me out.. the familial vampiric activity in particular, plus others. I’ll stick with my normal healthy life of Scripture, coffee, biscotti and Jesus 😉💕
..... That said, it's still a sobering thought knowing that the souls of men will soon be traded alongside every other commodity in the markets... Revelation 18:13.
This presentation provides essential information for mankind to wake up.
All said and done we are challenged to realise that the global deception is all about Actual Intelligence (Real AI) v every thing artificial. Choices no doubt related to ''weeping, wailing and nashing of teeth''...

I have just discovered your substack and I really appreciate what you write.

You just have to translate the chapter called "Histoire du vélo couché" to understand why it is not as popular as it deserves.
It's not that hot down here to, it's winter. Stay by the stove or the chimney and have a good read.
