“I’m pretty sure that to people 50 or 100 years in the future, it will seem barbaric that people in our era waited till they had symptoms to be diagnosed with conditions like heart disease and cancer.” – Paul Graham

It seems obvious that this is something we will have at some point in the future. It’s easy to speculate and think of wild ideas – but practical ones based on technology existing today? Not so easy.

What stood out the most to me from P.G.’s essay was the idea that we should think, ‘50 years from now, what behaviors do we have engrained as a society that will seem laughably archaic?’ I think medical diagnostics as it is today will be one of those things in 2063.

Thinking about continuous feedback medical devices means thinking about everything that is needed for such a device to operate. Obviously, the infrastructure and biomedical engineering required to make such devices...

More than anything, this is a note to self; my personal recipe for happiness.
It is, and probably always will be, a work in progress!

Test everything for yourself before you blindly take advice.

Work hard, play hard – just don’t half ass both. Don’t spend your life pretending you’re too busy for friends and family.

Spend your effort making your strengths stronger rather than improving your weaknesses.

Do things. Trouble figuring out what, exactly? Don’t pick based on ‘what you love’ or ‘are passionate about’. That’s too abstract. Imagine what you’ll regret not trying when you’re 80. Then do it.

Have blind faith in trying over and over and knowing you’ll get to success. Why does it always take a million failures first? Who knows but that’s reality.

If you starve yourself of enjoyment until the end, you’ll never be happy. The journey is everything.

Make as much of daily life routine...
