I’d also be curious of any current day architects carrying on his style or at least ethos.

There are multiple other factors for the relatively low adoption of EVs compared to China.

Have health sharing plans been successful? Those require a religious affiliation IIRC.

I exclude single payer solely because it’s impossible with our current leadership.

I’m surprised there isn’t a Costco like medical group that’s nationwide, has a membership, and works solely to provide care efficiently.

I know it comes for everyone, but the pace of said spiral is frightening.

Wish we were in a timeframe with more alternatives for rapid loss of mobility and muscle.

Maybe some history will help.

Growing up obsessed with cars, I loved seeing how different brands would lay out the cabin. Volvos from the 2000s used a rather large diagram of a seated person to select the HVAC vent for example.

Also, in my brain, a 3000+ pound object just dang requires some stuff to physically press, push, and hear click!

A couple giant touchscreens with touch controls nearly eliminates that.

-A breakfast of eggs, turkey bacon, broccoli and coffee … with cream

-A splash of red wine to “circulate the arteries”

-Stimulation by way of nature documentaries screened in his garage-turned-theater

-Lots of love and attention

A most efficient insurance program would be a closed loop.

Any leftover money not spent on care would be used to reduce premiums the following year and/or be saved for higher claim years.

I wonder how that could exist in the US? Perhaps these health sharing ministries are as close as we'll get: https://www.medishare.com/

My sister has a disability making independent living a challenge. Although I have 0 technical background, I need to start thinking and brainstorming in this manner.

I think you want to keep this as simple as possible, but I see headlight restoration (which can be done in 30min) and wiper blade replacement complementing this nicely.

I've had an idea for a dock that turns your smartphone into a landline of sorts. Plugs into an actual corded phone base and only rings the physical landline phone.

My mind was initially thinking of an AI assistant focused on guiding users through daily tasks (personal hygiene, locking doors, etc).

Advancements in robotics made me wonder if there was something wearable to enhance one's motor skills.

I know it's a broad umbrella, as not only do many different disabilities exist, but their severity as well.

For the people I am often around, living independently is the most shared goal. That in itself encompasses many things like motor skills, ability to keep routines, assistance for daily tasks, etc.

I realize this may be niche so I welcome adjacent findings as well.

Thank you!
