A reflective year-in-review episode from the True Life Podcast, recorded on December 16, 2025. Host George dives into the major events and themes of the year—from the Israel-Gaza conflict and global tensions, rising political violence and assassinations, class warfare, corporate home-buying, H-1B visa debates, to emerging trends in AI, health reform, and the longevity movement. He shares personal thoughts on division vs. unity, radical self-responsibility for health, predictions for 2026 (including a potential health reform wave on college campuses), and why rage bait is dominating attention. Ends with holiday well-wishes and an invitation for listener predictions. Aloha!
