At 94, William Shatner is plugging in and cranking up. He’s boldly going into the heavy‑metal universe. Shatner calls metal “a place where imagination gets loud,” and he’s right—music is an arena where you come alive and express yourself. It doesn’t shrink you; it amplifies you. Aging isn’t about withdrawing from the world or becoming smaller. He’s doing the opposite—he’s taking up space.
What inspires me isn’t the novelty of a 94‑year‑old making a metal record. It’s the message: curiosity doesn’t retire, living boldly matters, taking action matters, finding your own expression matters, and enjoying the journey matters.
In our own biohacking journeys into the future, we’re boldly going too—just like so many of the people featured in this thread.
