    Sure maybe, but should there also be a chance for people who made a lot of mistakes in their lives (bad diet, smoking, lack of exercise, poor sleep) to change that?

    The guy hits 4/4 on that one. I’m pretty sure it’s either he got incredibly lucky or cycling is a a panacea to ail ills or something, biased towards the latter one for obvious reasons.

    I like to think of anti-aging research as akin to the poverty alleviation that AES countries are doing right now. Of course it goes without saying that it should be freely available to all and not just the rich.

    Tbf there is a lot of “anti-aging” reasearch and it all points towards “don’t become a couch potato” which my dad expertly avoided doing. Millions of factors that should’ve gotten that guy in the hospice for one reason or another, lack of movement wasn’t one of them.

    That is to say, I’m well aware my da’ being in great physical fitness at 45 because $reason is no indication for anything, but neither is being a psychopathic blood vampire to your own children
