  5. Experiments with the nematode *Caenorhabditis elegans* found that feeding with a magnetotactic bacterium reduces ferroptosis--a type of programmed cell death that is dependent on iron--and extended lifespan by as much as 40%. Neural function was also improved in older worms.

  6. A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut

    The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.

    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist
    Slaughterhouse-Five, ch. 2 (1969)

  7. A quotation from Montaigne

    Life’s usefulness is not in its length, but in its use: some who have lived a long time have lived but little — take heed of it while you are still in it. For you to have lived enough lies in your will, not in the number of your years.
     
    [L’utilité du vivre n’est pas en l’espace: elle est en l’usage. Tel a vescu long temps, qui a peu vescu. Attendez vous y pendant que vous y estes. Il gist en vostre volonté, non au nombre des ans, que vous ayez assez vescu.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 1, ch. 19 (1.19), “That to Philosophize Is to Learn to Die [Que Philosopher, c’est apprendre à mourir]” (1572-03) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]

  8. This study reveals that #US #wealth #inequality, at historic highs, creates large #health inequality: a #lifespan difference of 13 years between the #richest and #poorest. Rectifying these #economic differences would raise overall #longevity to levels achieved in other #wealthy countries.
