If food is upstream of health, then the food system is the most expensive policy failure in America. I write about: - Fixing food - Rethinking medicine from the mitochondria up - How trust breaks down when systems reward compliance over truth Follow if you're building the next

Technological progress is fragile, easily arrested. University leadership could start creating conditions for progress tomorrow. We could train faculty, connect them with students who already know how to drive, build the feedback loops that Mokyr showed sustain innovation. Or

What @elonmusk means when he sees a hard problem and applies first principles thinking

Gen Z isn’t waiting, they’re making change now. 57% set limits on social media, homeschooling doubled, 66% buy sustainable food. “Detox” isn’t just apps: bad schools, junk diets, toxic brands, all getting cut. Ignore Gen Z and you miss the future they’re already building.

Eight billion vaccine doses got headlines. But food quietly reverses most diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Without side effects. Pharma wins PR, but the actual battle is won in the kitchen.

80% of chronic diseases are tied to lifestyle. Doctors should realize there is no pill for that.

Over the weekend, in another AI frenzy and catching up on my reading, my focus shifted to human outcomes. We’re not just talking about agtech, food, or health in isolation. We’re reconstructing the entire system around a single objective: reducing chronic disease. The levers

This is what the inside of a B737 wheel well looks like. In maintenance, it's called the "thinking bay." h/t @Turbinetraveler Since its first flight in 1967, when I was 1 year old, the B737 has flown more than 6.5 billion passengers, on more than 650 million flights, with fewer

America has two epidemics: chronic disease and confident non-experts.

The day food becomes health will be very confusing

RFK Jr: Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. Trump: There's a tremendous amount of of proof or evidence. I would say as a non-doctor, but I've studied this a long time

Tylenol or not, maybe avoid the debate and just leave boys intact.

For Food is Health Startups, health care providers, state health officials, and anyone who cares about rural health…… We are hosting a webinar on Friday at 11:30 AM EST to discuss the $50B of rural health grants. Webinar registration: https://t.co/IiLYFIWOzD This will be a

This is a very good landscape analysis of AI growth. It leads me to conclude, bubbles are a feature, not a bug, in our economy. In planned economies, they attempt to manage the allocation of capital but often miss the wave. In our economy, we overfund the beginning, and sort

The Sam Altman Sora clips are fun. How about we do something even more productive? All those with the Sora app, take a stab at creating 10sec videos using Farm Animals to pitch the reason we should all eat real food. In an ice bucket kind of way, use your creativity but end

You won't be able to guess where AI is going. Best to jump on the train and figure out the rest.

Remember Jobs’ “bicycles for the mind”? Technology amplifies human capability. Humans are slow, but a human on a bicycle outperforms every animal by a huge margin I just let the dog out, poured my first coffee, and read Ben Thompson’s latest Stratechery post on AI unbundling:

What I learned this week…. Forward-leaning food, ag, and health companies are waking up to a new kind of existential risk: the speed of innovation has outpaced their org charts. The real disruption won’t come from a new seed, sweetener, or supplement, it’ll come from Nvidia and
