@treleanor While it's great to see attention on malnutrition in aged care, the root of the problem lies in the privatisation of the system. The focus on cost-cutting has led to seniors being treated like numbers, not people, and now we're turning to lupins, which feel more like livestock feed than proper nutrition. Real care means investing in quality meals and support for the elderly, not finding the cheapest solution. #malnutrition #agedcare #privatisation #elderlycare #qualitycare #costcutting #seniorhealth #nutritionmatters #lupins #dignityforall #healthoverprofit

If your elderly loved one's mood fluctuates wildly, SERIOUSLY consider whether poor pain management is at the root of it.
When my uncle's pain is really bad, he's completely unmanageable and forgets everything, including forgetting to ask for his pain meds. When he's on a proper maintenance dose he's fine. Pain messes with people's heads. Don't let your people suffer unnecessarily; make the doctors manage the pain properly.

1/3: A message I wrote to a friend re. healthcare spending of nations, which they had observed to be increasing:

I'm of the (uneducated) opinion that as countries/peoples become more wealthy in peace-time, once they perceive their needs as met, they end up spending that wealth on healthcare. A great tragedy from our perspective is that the best healthcare spending is preventative, but the wildest healthcare spending I observe through anecdote in other countries is curative; notoriously seen in futile end-of-life care in America.

The most obvious homologue - of a nation spending a hoofing amount of it's wealth in a given industry - seems to me the "military-industrial complex". It's a slightly clumsy term for our purpose, but here the military is a function of the government which in turn is a function of the country/peoples. So I think of it as a nation spending a hoofing amount of it's money on funding the industries that manufacture and deliver "warheads on foreheads", so to speak.

The best summary of this was provided by Eisenhower. I paste here words from usnews.com/opinion/blogs/rober:

> More than a week after Stalin’s death, Eisenhower was talking with speechwriter Emmet Hughes about the address. “Look, I am tired—and I think everyone is tired—of just plain indictments of the Soviet regime,” Ike said. “I think it would be wrong—in fact, asinine—for me to get up before the world now to make another one of those indictments. Instead, just one thing matters. What have we got to offer the world?”

Thanks to Málaga TechClub and Omar Najid from Docline for arranging the meet-up yesterday!

It was an interesting talk about providing a complete telemedicine solution with e-prescriptions and a fleet of virtual doctors efficiently across Spain and other countries. It's inspiring to see such effective pivoting and correction from selling to doctors to selling to clinics, hospitals and health insurers.

We also had very intense discussions with Pasi Vuorio about the future of #AI and work, with Filip Bovin about #education and with Jussi Määttä about technological enablers for more human #ElderlyCare.

There is certainly a lot of change coming. #Economy, like chess, is a game which doesn't require human players.

Economic activity will continue around everything that is scarce even in a #PostScarcity world. Recognizing those things is one way for a business to stay relevant even after all the users have become #AIs, and even after all the customers have become AIs. It doesn't matter if services are paid in euros, in coupons, or in stronger relationships, AIs will find ways to get the services they require and business is beneficial to both parties.

One of the main resources of the immediate future is human experience related knowledge. In many current tasks the #chatbots fail because they only know information from books, and our books are lacking in certain aspects.

Both humans and our #societies will doubtlessly survive but both will change drastically in form.
