    The outfit choice here is awesome. It’s the “pick one of every style out of my wardrobe” fashion choice.

    We are most certainly at a dangerous intersection- it’s not just the algorithms yes, they are bad.

    I’ve experienced being bombarded with misogynistic content, racism, prejudice as unpleasant as that was.

    So, I had to willfully seek out more inclusive, non prejudiced, tolerant content and block out the awful content.

    But; no- it’s not just algorithms some content creators are willfully trying to cause problems for people or unsettle them that they have decided they want to hurt, be cruel, or intolerant towards.

    I remember seeing a clip many years ago of one of the people involved in the ‘the revolution will not be televised’ movement, he explained it was not about conflict, it was about it being a state of mind, choosing upon oneself right from wrong etc. I’m paraphrasing, but my point is unless people stop feeding the algorithm with anger and hatred, why would it change? It is on us to ‘be the change we want to see in the world’, now more than ever, with greater effect, simply by watching videos.

    Here’s a simple tip to get started, if you see anything with the word ‘shocking’ in it’s title or headline, ignore it. Please.

    I think it would be an absolute honour to steward TED, whatever this outcome, I, and I’m sure the millions of followers will be all in for it, we only get sense, reason and intelligent debate here, and that is a priceless commodity these days. Thank you Chris for enlightening so many of us to the true culture of humanity and the desire to learn from each other.

Spotify founder Daniel Ek’s Neko Health raised $700 million to build a business around scanning your body, but it’s not the only company centering its roadmap around a new kind of preventative healthcare. Midjourney is building its own body scanner, while Function Health has also raised significant capital to build out its preventative-health platform. Why are investors betting so big on this category?

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis talks with Farooq Abbasi, founder and general partner of Preface Ventures and an investor in Neko Health, about how Neko compares with other consumer-health startups. They discuss what has to happen for body scanning to become part of the broader healthcare system.
