  • Lemmings over 30 who try to stay active, what are you doing to accommodate for your incredibly decrepit bodies to avoid boo-boos?

  • Beside obvious recommendations from other posts (visit a doctor, do exercise, eat healthy, sleep well etc)...

    The truth is - aging is a bitch! It starts probably even before birth and start clearly manifesting itself usually in 30s. So welcome!

    And the "best" part is - currently we do not have a medicine to reverse it, so at some point at the age of around 80-90 it will most probably kill you unless something else kills you first, or unless we develop effective cure. I don't want to be morbid here or spread anxiety. I am writing this to accent the seriousness of aging and the need to tackle it. You can request your government to provide grants to researchers to reverse aging or if you are European propose researchers to apply for already existing grant call from EIC, propose your medical universities to participate in XPRIZE Healthspan, etc.

    As you are quite young, if you are generally healthy, the best thing you can do really is doing the basics (as your mom told you) AND ESPECIALLY campaigning for development of aging-reversal therapies! Those are the only hope to be still kicking well in 80s in good health, and beyond.

    If you are more interested, there is a community !longevity@mander.xyz and I also recommend the book Ageless by Andrew Steele, which provides great balance between scientific rigor and entertaining approach to public.

  • Totally!

    And probably a multi-tier EU would be great too! Imagine Ukraine being able to join it's next tier already next year instead of waiting for 3-5 ears to get the full membership.

  • I was in a pizzeria with 2 friends and we bought 2 pizzas. In order to divide them equally we have asked to cut them into 6 pieces instead of usual 4. They have cut them in usual 4 orthogonal pieces and then have done a diagonal cut. At the end, we technically have cut them to 6 pieces, but it haven't helped us to divide them equally 😕

  • How many of you are non-native English speakers?

    Jump

  • Absolutely! The videos that helped me to understand English was podcast-like. I am a big fan of audiobooks and podcasts. Mostly to give some rest to my eyes, and to consume them while I am walking outside to protect my physical health.

  • I learnt it since I was 3. I was literally forced to do it instead of playing outside with my friends. And always out was hard...

    Then I found the language Esperanto, that is supposed to be 10x easier to learn and use. I tried it and I can conform that to be true 😊

    But I needed English for my (volunteer) work in a social movement, so I slowly learn it. But still had big problems to understand spoken English. Then I found English videos about topic that was very investing for me. I was trying hard to understand and finally I did.

    Long story short, I still prefer to speak Esperanto, and much more people should, IMO.

  • While it is definitely true that in such case English would be quite fair inside of EU, it also puts EU in worse position in outside world where USA have those advantages...

    Beside that there is a viable alternative. Remember that Izrael has revived its ancient language, and Indonesia created a new one based on language of one of their small islands. That language united nation of hundreds of millions!

    We can use Esperanto. It is artificial in origin, so no one nation speaks it natively (native individuals do, but not nations). It is designed to be easy to learn and use (I personally confirm it - 2 years of autodidacticly learning Esperanto was equivalent of 15 years of school learning of English). So even people who never heard about it can very quickly get to very usable level.

    And possibly the best part is that it can serve as a language that units humankind as a whole. We all can preserve our national language for national communication and use Esperanto for international communication. This will not happen tomorrow, but with political support it can happen quickly. Until then, many people, as me, use it daily and support it's spread.

  • Europe's English Skills

    Jump

  • I am still amazed by the English thing in EU. Only 2 EU nations, and even quite small ones, speaks English natively, and not even as their only one language. In the same time, who speaks English natively? One country that left our club, one country that wages economic war against us, couple of great partner countries outside of Europe, and couple of others.

    When we wanted to unite more, we promised to abandon our national currencies and adopt euro. But we still play small when it comes to language...
