A rapidly aging Arnold Schwarzenegger was spotted in New York City this week, with the footage startling some fans.

This is not a negative, but a really really good reminder. You can have the best genetics, reach the highest peaks of muscle and health, have all the money/doctors/cures/shortcuts in the world, and aging will still come for you. You will, with luck, reach a point that walking is…
