It's even worse when you feel it happening

It also happens surprisingly fast. Which is why it's so hard to spot.

I swear I was a teenager fifteen minutes ago.

This is only a rumor, it's not true.

HAHA! I LIED! YOU'RE GONNA BE OLD (PROBABLY)!

Getting old beats the alternative though.

Every single person and animal who has ever lived on this planet or others was once younger than you are.

Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin!

Despite a cracking down on child labor in the western world, less % of people enjoy their youth than ever in recorded history.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First of all, what's your source for that? It seems hard to get data on. Second of all, I could understand that. The schooling system used in much of the western world is great at making docile factory workers, but not so great at making happy, emotionally healthy and creative people.

Thought experiment not factual.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How is it even a thought experiment?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's kind of like this big experiment, tho' of course precious little data is being collected, wherein each of us can make all sorts of lifestyle choices, and then we can see which one's result in better, healthier, longer lives.

sounds like a scam

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nooope. I'm not gonna be old. I will stop myself from that.

There's also the OSK treatment Sinclair's lab has seen results with, and the blood replacement stuff is also showing promising signs. There's hope that we can actually roll back the clock, but we aren't there yet.
