For David Lynch, his work with his foundation was the most important thing he did.

Just about every project is looking at things from a material perspective.
The "spiritual" perspective has legs with respect to life-extension, as well, though there are at least two distinct scientific definitions of spirituality, one based on mindfulness and one based on its exact opposite, mind-wandering resting.
Both strategies (based on distinctly different meditation practices) have research suggesting that lifespan can be extended by their approach.

For how distinctly different types of meditation have different effects on nervous system and body.
A hint: the words used to teach meditation can lead to radically different measurable physiological outcomes depending on the context in which those words are spoken and the persistence of those effects is also very dependent on the context in which instructions are given, often leading to exactly the opposite effect on certain physiological measures:
You can't get more distinct than "reduced" vs 100% coherence across all leads simultaneously.
And thereby hangs the tale for explaining how and why different mental practices have different long-term, persistent changes in brain activity in favor of longevity: reduced EEG coherence => reduced resting; 100% implies that the brain is only resting; the longer you practice some forms of meditation, the less restful the brain becomes.
Always mindful vs always resting or moving back into resting mode asap given the chance.
The M1 Pro & Max CPUs are approaching dedicated Laptop GPU levels, so Minis will be a reasonable low/mid-end game machine, comparable to the best PC gaming laptops.
The M* Mac Pros will start out with built-in graphics starting at the M1 Max level and going 4 or perhaps 8x higher, still using integrated graphics.
The fact that Apple now supports $5K dedicated graphics cards on the pro series suggests that the pro M* Macs will be able to use any graphics card (that supports Metal) that you can buy.
The fact that Apple's store was crashing continually after the new laptops were announced suggests that the market for Mac games is going to grow a lot faster than anyone thinks...
Doctor Stone's father sent him a message in the form of a phonograph album etched in glass (the bottom of a bottle). Lasted for thousands of years when embedded in concrete.
Also: when we last spoke you were talking about energy storage solutions. How has that progressed recently?
