I am super excited to be speaking at @gophers_africa 2024 as this is a crucial topic for anyone managing large data workloads. Looking forward to sharing insights and learning from the amazing community at #gca24. See you in Nairobi!

The important thing to note here is that it is more about friction and function than expenditure. There is a level of comfort you need to be much more functional, and sometimes (not always) that comfort usually requires spending more or moving to a more expensive place that removes friction. Yesterday, as I was driving between Ghana and Togo, I realized how important NOT being afraid of the police or criminals appearing suddenly was to my ability to think and be functional. I could also plan my time better with stable infrastructure. Sometimes you don't need to spend more; you simply have to remove yourself from the source of friction that's preventing the function. That move could even be lateral. I have told many friends to move away from London to other parts of England after seeing them struggle and achieve limited results. When they did, not only did they save money, but their productivity quadrupled. In Accra, I moved around a bit. From East Legon, to Ridge, now in the mountains where I found peace and quiet. This place is cheaper than the other places I had lived, but makes me more functional. I figured the UK and most countries out early enough. When I was in Lagos, I was away from Lagos most weekends and it kept me sane out of the rat race. I saw Late Otunba Balogun doing it every weekend and finally understood why he did and why he lived the way he did for people famously known to be frugal. He was a very functional person. Many people think hustling and living under hard conditions are virtues in themselves, but they are not. Effort without exponential reward is stupidity. If you pay more and can get more, it is a better way to be on the path to getting even more.

Please, do not let your home become your cage. There is a specific kind of danger in staying behind closed doors when the world is waiting for you. It isn't just boredom; it is a slow fading of the self. When you linger in the silence for too long, your mind loses its sharpness, not because it is empty, but because it turns on itself. ​Psychology calls this mental rumination, but it feels more like haunting your own life. ​It is a misconception that this is laziness. It is rarely a physical refusal to move, but rather a profound, bone-deep exhaustion of the spirit. The world outside begins to look jagged and overwhelming. The idea of stepping out, even just to buy a bottle of water, feels like climbing a mountain. It feels safer to stay hidden. ​So, you begin to drift. You get used to the numbness. You exist in the soft, artificial glow of your phone screen, watching other people live while the hours bleed into late nights. You fight silent battles in an empty room, telling yourself you are recharging. ​But you are not resting. You are withering. ​You are quietly draining your own vitality, letting the dust settle on your soul. We are creatures built for the sun, for movement, for the friction of connection. Your brain is starving for a spark. Without it, your thoughts spiral inward, digging a trench that gets deeper every day. ​The longer you stay in the safety of the dark, the taller the walls become. Go out. Let the noise and the light remind you that you are still part of the living.

There’s a Lassa fever outbreak in Nigeria and this is what you need to know to stay safe.

We've spent 50 years trying to kill cancer cells. What if the answer was never to kill them but to remind them who they are? Cancer cells aren't foreign invaders. They're your own cells that lost their identity. They stopped differentiating, stopped maturing, and started growing without limits. Cancer doesn't create anything new. It hijacks normal biology. Researchers at KAIST in South Korea identified three master regulators, MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2, keeping colon cancer cells locked in a malignant state. When they silenced all three? The cancer cells differentiated back into normal, healthy tissue. MYC and WNT pathways shut down. In mice, tumors shrank significantly. No chemo. No radiation. Just reprogramming. Here's what most people will miss: HDAC2 is a histone deacetylase. It compacts DNA and silences tumor suppressor genes. We already use HDAC inhibitors in our protocols. This isn't new to us. But it's powerful validation. Cancer and aging are the same problem. Cells that no longer serve the body but learned to hijack the immune system to survive. The answer isn't bigger bombs. It's restoration. Still preclinical. But the direction is exactly right. Kudos to the @kaistpr team. 👏
