HN is a tech forum yes, but it's also people who pay close attention to the cutting edge of science and technology. Both of which are extremely relevant to aging.
My parents are in their late 60s, and there are probably things that I can do/tell them that can make their remaining years better and I like to know what they are. Just like OP. Doesn't mean I am in an emotional extremis...
- nescioquid 3y agoFirstly, HN has no responsibility for the well-being of said poster or his* parents. If his thought pattern was not disorganized and he posted this pique query to HN on a WTF-basis, then fine. Caveat emptor. Secondly, optimism and fact are orthogonal. Practices shown empirically to be salutary are considered to be "medicine", i.e. something that actually "works". Why am I writing this on HN as a rebuttal? Finally, I may as well be older than your parents. Go to bed! * with apologies to "they"
