“A nation ignorant of the equal benefits of liberty and law,
must be awed by the flashes of arbitrary power:
the cruelty of a despot will assume the character of justice;
his profusion, of liberality; his obstinacy, of firmness”

— Edward Gibbon
(who wrote ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’)

Why AI Will Fail 🧐🧐🧐

So here we are again.

The internet, the smartphone, social media — all led to today’s AI.

But AI isn’t so good. AI Will Fail:

Next Monday, the EU decides on Chat Control 2.0. Will they let the Trojan Horse through the gate and let Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn etc continue to scan all your messages?

We at Tuta say NO.

❌ No scanning
❌ No mass surveillance
❌ No age verification

Instead we fight for:

✅ Encryption
✅ Privacy
✅ Open Source

And so should the EU. Call your local representatives! 🥊

Privacy is not negotiable. Speak up now. ✊ #Privacy

Bottom line: If you care about longevity,
you need to care about muscle.

Train it. Feed it. Protect it.

10/
Smart supplementation can help:
• Creatine
• Fish oil
• Vitamin D
• Multivitamin

If plant-based: consider essential amino acids or BCAAs
Example: ~5 g BCAA to boost leucine when meals are low

9/
Be careful with fasting.

Time-restricted eating can help with calories, but:
long or aggressive fasting—especially as you age—can accelerate muscle loss.

Muscle preservation > fasting trends

Muscle decline starts earlier than you think.

Sarcopenia begins in midlife—not old age.

Small losses compound over decades →
frailty, falls, loss of independence later

7/
Training + protein = non-negotiable.

For long-term health:
• 3–4 resistance sessions/week
• ~150 min moderate-to-vigorous activity

This supports:
• muscle preservation
• mitochondrial health
• metabolic resilience
