Fun fact: The FDA also just banned NMN as a supplement so that it can be patented, marketed, and sold as a longevity drug exclusively by Metro Biotech. Wonderful people over there at the FDA, looking out for the public's best interest.

Looks like we're running through the same playbook we saw with COVID, and the obesity comorbidities. Being obese in your 30s-50s increases your chance of developing dementia or Parkinson's later in life by somewhere between 500 an

Because: 1. Some people's nasal passages are partially or fully clogged. 2. Even when fully open, there is not enough airflow through the nose to facilitate anything more strenuous than light walking.

I'm sorry, but how does this work? HIIT, for example, gets me up to requiring 40 breaths per minute for the oxygen. There is simply not enough airway cross-section across the nose to take in air at this rate. During allergy season, whe

My guess is that 80% are good at assessing risk, but most of us are either born or raised to be compliant, so this assessment doesn't relate well to outcomes. Using the grandparent's 9/11 TSA analogy - talk to literally anyon

This is not a popular answer, but it's the primary reason I, and many others I know, have gotten into shape and stayed that way for well over a decade: Hate yourself. Be fatphobic. Hold yourself to nearly unattainable standards and con

The vaccines were never sterilizing. The best estimates I've seen for transmission attenuation are around 15%, primarily due to shortening the duration of being a carrier, with an additional small effect for viral load reduction. Fifte

You may be missing my point. I thoroughly agree with so-called "blackpill" analysis of the problem. And I believe that most people do too, if you got them drunk and honest enough. The issue is that civilization "solved"

No. Absolutely wrong. Homes are much larger now than in 1955. Cars are being purchased with far more (expensive) features, and they are driven for fewer miles before being "upgraded". We eat out much more. Even when we eat in,

Interesting analogy. The NYT began publishing legitimately scathing articles about Enron and effectively accusing outright fraud in January 2002 [1]. Contrast to the kid-gloves puff-piece the NYT published about SBF recently. If we take the

Fluorophenibut, both HCL and FAA, is the only thing that works for me, at something like 200mg. Regular Phenibut HCL gives me virtually no help, even at some ridiculous dosage like 5g. And I still get withdrawals the next day. Not worth it.

Regulations are coming? On a fully public ledger? You understand that BTC, ETH, and every derivative non-privacy-coin is exactly what the regulators have been salivating for, right? Why regulate a non-repudiable chain-of-custody that mathem

No, there's still Monero and ZCash. And most holders do have their own non-custodial wallets. Or at least wallet seeds from intermediaries like MetaMask. The speculative frenzy with FedCoins like BTC and ETH will obviously fall to base

That's one reason I did my own build myself. It's a pretty trivial matter for the average high-IQ HNer to spec, design, and build. The "hardest" part is understanding and adhering to the construction codes, and dealing w

Firing 1000 engineers who contribute very little value at a total comp of $300-400k will make a meaningful dent in opex. Eliminating the draconian content moderation policies and reinstating high-engagement accounts ought to boost revenue.
