Just a reminder mouse physiology is not human.
This is a great start but hacking biology is not the same as pcs.
I add this warning because I'm seeing a lot of younger software engineers try out custom peptides to boost their iq, memory, and work ability.

- Avicebron 4y agoAlso laboratory mice are not necessarily comparable to the diversity in genetics of even wild mice (or the genetic diversity of the human population if we want to extrapolate).
- causi 4y agoI add this warning because I'm seeing a lot of younger software engineers try out custom peptides to boost their iq, memory, and work ability. Eh, I say let 'em. People need to stop pretending aging isn't a tragedy just because it's our natural state. We should be as bold with treatments for it as we are with treatments for other fatal diseases.
- generalizations 4y agoJust get them to write down their results somewhere. Enough anecdotes might turn into anecdata.
- treeman79 4y agoDid this a lot when I was having severe dementia problems. Would track results on various medications to see what worked. 95% made a bad situation much worse. Memantine Had a moderate boost. Went on a Blood thinner and everything resolved.
- mota7 4y agoDo you know why the blood thinners helped? (I'm assuming there was some underlying condition that this treated?)
- bglazer 4y agoMe and every one of my friends have seen this horse named Hans, very clever, that could understand everything its trainer said. He could do arithmetic too! I don’t understand why big psychology won’t take our data seriously and finally accept that horses are capable of long division.

We don't encourage people to experiment with self medicating themselves for cancer and multiple sclerosis, because it's dangerous and most people have no idea what they're doing. It's pretty much the same thing here. I know it'll happen either way, but I wouldn't recommend it to the average person.
- causi 4y agoI know it'll happen either way, but I wouldn't recommend it to the average person. Hence "let them", not "encourage them". The average person doesn't have the slightest idea what a "custom peptide" is.
- whatshisface 4y agoBut you're responding to a warning with "let them," not a bill in congress.
