This reminds me of spending hours digging through Microsoft Encarta as a kid. It was full of cool animations and demos like this (though these are much better).

A case I recall particularly vividly was a man in his late 90s who had end stage dementia to the point that he couldn’t interact with his environment or even speak. His limbs were contracted and he was permanently in a kind of fetal positio

I haven't had a chance to read the article yet but as a physician--yes we often overtreat at the end of life. I have had horrible experiences basically torturing patients with repeated invasive procedures and disease-focused treatments

Fog of War is incredible. I haven't really seen anything else like it in the sense that powerful people very rarely publicly examine themselves and their lives the way McNamara does. The follow-up with Rumsfeld is so different because

This is a wild take. I'm not quite sure how you would go about changing it into something "better" without funadmentally destroying its functionality. The "UI" of driving a car or a jet requires "a course"
