Since I'm not at #emfcamp, I'm doing some empathy hacking:
Experimenting with #CircuitPy on a #Seeed #RP2040, building a webpage<-->Python bridge for a future music project.
Finger for scale.
And magnifying glass to check the pins on the I2C OLED in the background!

CW: despair, self harm, non-competent
Advanced Care Plan (aka Advanced Care Directive)
How about if you're in a locked ward and medicated to stop violent behaviour and you 're saying things like, "My life is over", "You don't want to know" in reply to "How are you?", and 'I can't find anything to kill myself with in here"?
Want yourself resuscitated/CPR or to have life extending treatments in such a situation?

I'm seeing Linus Torvalds support for AI as a possible sign of cognitive impairment.
Even if so it might AIUI take another 20 years before his functioning is clearly inadequate.
But it's something worth considering about every aging human. And with old age beginning at 60 Linus is on the edge of that now.

For the complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquility of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) English novelist and playwright [William Somerset Maugham]

Doing an advanced care plan / advanced care directive?
What's your thinking around resuscitation / major surgery after you're treated as incompetent / in a locked environment without free exit?

Don’t abandon old friends,
because newer ones are not their equals.
New friends are like new wine;
when wine ages,
you will drink it with good cheer.

οἶνος νέος φίλος νέος·

Deep into the second series of the fabulous HBO Max medical drama, The Pitt, this line popped out from a character & I wanted to share it for its wisdom & poignancy:
'While every old person knows what it is like to be young, no young person can know what it is like to be old...'
That is not only a truism, but its a really instructive way of understanding the trouble that society often has with ensuring our older members have the best life they can....

Old slippers, worn thin,
yet still waiting by the bed—
ready for the day.
