- So much navel-gazing
The science is a Trojan horse for so much late Gen X/Millennial navel-gazing driven by a disability-as-identity subjectivity. Worse still, McArthur uses his own son — a vulnerable, young, child with very real health concerns — as a “motivation” to make a podcast. (That alone makes this project ethically dubious at best.) And when that’s not enough, he trots out his own health issues and neuroses all of which come across as a broken ego’s need for attention and validation. It’s a shame becau... more

I was especially interested as I am participating in a clinical trial of Rapamycin, and my epigenetic age test has me 12 years older than my biological age - not great news for anyone! I thought the explanations in the fourth episode about Mtor, telemeres, etc., were so well done - I really appreciate the work that went into synthesizing this information! Very interesting and relevant.

Stephen Hawking once said that due to greed and stupidity, humankind will last another 100 maybe 200 years. He died four years ago. The clock is ticking. Humankind has been around for approximately 330,000 years. In 1812 the world population was 1 billion. In 1912 it was 1.5 billion. Given that 100 years out of 330,000 is a microscopic amount of time an increase of 50% in any species in a century is, to say the least, alarming. From 1912 to 2012 the population increased from 1.5 billion to 6 bil... more
