The biology of aging is one of the most exciting frontiers in science. But since aging is not widely considered a disease, medical research funds are rarely dedicated to aging-related projects. Longevity specialist Dr. David Sinclair sees things differently. In his opinion, aging is a disease that will eventually be treatable. What can we do […]
The Two Sides of Kamala Harris
As the highest-ranking woman in the history of the United States, Kamala Harris set a number of impressive records when she became vice president. Harris has made a point of avoiding what’s known as identity politics, an approach that is frequently favored by the left wing of her party. While Harris is deeply proud of […]
Why You Don’t Need a Job
Poor and middle-class people work hard to make money. But wealthy people are different. They let money do all the work through the magic of investing. The idea that becoming rich depends on having a well-paying job is just a myth. Actually, the way into the upper class involves breaking free from employment altogether. You […]
Why the Pandemic Didn’t Change Anything
COVID-19 didn’t really change anything, according to Scott Galloway. It just accelerated existing trends. Tech companies like Amazon and Netflix that dominated their industries pre-pandemic are even more popular (and profitable) now. As you may have heard, Jeff Bezos increased his fortune by more than $35 billion in a single month. That’s all well and […]

Think of it this way: from an evolutionary perspective, a carnivorous diet was an integral part of […]
Why Kamala Harris Turned to Politics
At first, Harris thought the way to rectify injustice was to work as a lawyer. But after years of service as an assistant prosecutor, she realized that she didn’t have to wait for someone else to take the lead to make positive change. She began thinking about running for an elected office. Harris has spent […]
How to Turn Fear into a Tool
Waiting is often a sign that you lack creativity and discipline. Instead of waiting around for other people to make moves, you need to take matters into your own hands and achieve your own goals. Taking action doesn’t mean that you have to fake fearlessness; in fact, knowing your fears will help keep you honest. […]
Follow Your Desire
The word “slut” isn’t necessarily offensive. It’s a term that should be reclaimed by anyone who enjoys sex because it’s pleasurable, according to the authors of The Ethical Slut.
