This.

contrasted with what money can’t buy - nature. Are we running from and destroying what has the utmost potential to heal the human body?

What a timeless paradox: in our pursuit to conquer mortality through wealth and technology, we risk neglecting the things money cannot buy. Maybe true longevity lies in preserving the world that sustains us.

Really liked where you took this article. First got me thinking about smart cities (what an interesting concept!), then how valuable health is as a resource (could the people who preserve their health at the price of economy be *ahead* of billionaires trying to regain health lost from working too hard for too long?), then to the mental manipulation aspects of always-on health monitoring.

Loved this article! You sketch a really inspiring image of what the future might bring. I understand the moral implications of manipulating people into health. But if we know our current cities are making people unhealthy, arent we already manipulating people into unhealthy lives? It seems the latter would be more unethical
