Retirement Singularity

How will AI and longevity advances change "retirement"?

Your Retirement R.E.C.I.P.E. Rewritten – for the AI Age | Retirement Rewritten - Download Your Guide More than a decade ago, I wrote The End of Retirement as We Know It report because the usual retirement map we used to plan for our future, already seemed blind to how much could change in the decades ahead. Most advice still assumes a familiar path: school...

Perhaps the most exciting age-reversal science going on right now is partial epigenetic reprogramming. Multiple labs working on this, including one already in human trials!

After my CARP Atlantic talk last month, a got requests for the notes - not the slides, just "what can I actually do now?"

I turned them into a 6-page guide I use myself.

It's called Your Retirement R-E-C-I-P-E for staying in the game while AI, wearables, and longevity science change the rules:

R - Resilience habits that protect healthspan

C - Conversations to have with your doctor
I - Independence checks for home and finance
P - Purpose and people (the part AI can't replace)
E - Ethics — how we raise this new intelligence well

If you download it, would you tell me which RECIPE letter feels most useful right now? I am creating more "what to do" downloads based on what you say is important to know.

Live long, live well, & prosper!

Last month, drug maker Lilly and the Oura ring team announced they're linking a daily medication with continuous tracking of sleep, heart rate, and recovery. This represents a key shift - the shift from "wait until something breaks" to "notice the pattern early."

I wrote a plain-English breakdown of what this Lilly-Oura news means if you're 55+ Link is in the first comment.

My question for you: do you track even one number now - steps, sleep, blood pressure, or resting heart rate - and has it ever actually changed a conversation with your doctor? I've recently switched to a "Hume Band" and just getting used to it now...

Some serious Healthy Longevity - Life Extension via Medical-Tourism in this endeavor. This will only accelerate as breakthroughs outpace regulatory approvals! Long predicted by Retirement Singularity.

Minicircle's unapproved injectable minicircle DNA therapy designed to boost klotho protein production in fat cells for potential longevity benefits, with sales planned in clinics in Honduras, Bahamas, and Panama.
Klotho is an anti-aging protein whose levels drop with age; mouse studies show overexpression extends lifespan by 20-30%, and it has shown memory improvements in older monkeys, but human data remains limited to preclinical work and one small uncontrolled trial of ~24 people.
