The importance of storytelling, community initiatives, and a commitment to creating possibilities for those aged 50+ is highlighted.

    Brilliant discussion. Hearing the bright, funny, retired, 101 yo lawyer(in foreign service?) was informative and inspiring. Resilience is adaption to new challenges.

    Resilience is the key The problem is that Resilience is epigenetic, the richer & more middle class you parents, grand parents, great grand parents, and their parents etc the more likely that your born with the right conditions for you to have a long lifetime & thus be more resilient to bad stress. Even if you have an appaling life experience! I suspect this has broken down a lot due to the ongoing effects of a bad diet based on sugar causing an epigenetic cascade fail in human bodies. As we go in 150 years from 10 cases in 50 years to half the population having Diabetes or near too Diabetss. And the same is true of cardiovascular disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, dementia aka type 3 diabetes etc. All caused by a bad carbohydrate diet that damages our gut biome and the soil biome along with it!

    Eat lots of fruit, and dried fruit for snacks, don't need a meal at night, not too much animal products, and eat random snacks, run and exercise
