“You cannot use an old map to explore a new world.” – Einstein

In this edition:
🔹 A 3-minute brainwave test can spot Alzheimer’s early — at home
🔹 A new epigenetic atlas shows how aging rewrites our genes
🔹 The record $100B T-Bill auction says “boring money wins”
🔹 4-Day workweek trial results (last week): more output, calmer humans
🔹 What we’re loving — tools to live longer, think clearer, and grow wealth

What’s happening:
Researchers validated a 3-minute “Fastball” EEG that flags early memory problems years before typical diagnosis — and it works in people’s homes. Early detection matters because new drugs help most before decline sets in. (ScienceDaily)

Why it matters:
No clinic drama. No hour-long tests. A fast, low-cost signal for families and founders who want to plan ahead.

FutureProof Take:
Longevity isn’t just adding years — it’s protecting cognition. Cheap, early diagnostics = leverage.

➡️Action Step: If dementia history runs in your family, bookmark the Fastball EEG project page and track rollout updates. (Early adopter edge.)

What’s new:
A huge epigenetic atlas (think: DNA “on/off” switches across organs) just landed, giving the clearest picture yet of how aging rewires us — and where interventions might work. (Nature)

Why it matters:
Real targets beat vague “anti-aging.” This map points drug developers — and someday, your supplements and routines — at the right switches.

FutureProof Take:
The next decade of longevity won’t be magic; it’ll be precision maintenance.

➡️ Action Step: Track biomarkers you can actually change (inflammation, sleep, VO₂max, A1c). If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.

What’s happening:
The U.S. Treasury ran a record $100B auction of 4-week T-Bills (and is keeping bill sizes elevated). Translation: safe, short-term yield remains in demand. (MarketWatch, Reuters)

Why it matters:
When macro looks wobbly, sophisticated money gets liquid and lets T-Bills do the work.

FutureProof Take:
The wealthy don’t chase every pop; they ladder. (Then they sleep.)

➡️ Action Step: Build a simple 4–8 week T-Bill ladder on TreasuryDirect. Roll it. Forget it. Let yield compound while you focus on higher-leverage bets.

What’s happening (last week):
A Scottish government pilot of a 32-hour / 4-day week reported higher productivity, lower stress, and fewer psychological sick days — without breaking workflows. (The Guardian)

Why it matters:
Turns out your people don’t need more hours; they need fewer, better ones.

FutureProof Take:
If you manage talent, your next advantage is calendars — not kombucha.

🎉 You’re halfway through this week’s FutureProof.
Hydrate. Roll your shoulders. You’re now 1% smarter than five minutes ago.

🎥 Mood gif:

Alright, now let’s get back to stretching your brain 🧐

“You don’t need to outwork the future — you need to out-measure it.”

Early diagnostics + shorter workweeks + risk-free yield = longevity, sanity, solvency. The rest is posture.

🧰 WHAT WE’RE LOVING THIS WEEK

Early brain tests. Smarter gene maps. Safe yield on tap.
And yes — fewer meetings.

The edge isn’t hustle. It’s inputs: measure early, focus hard, compound quietly.

See you Tuesday.
