> intractably hard problem Is it intractably hard? We already know how to 'rejuvenate' cells for a decade. The field did not receive a lot of attention however, partly because of misguided ethics concerns. COVID changed that a

they aren't even reporting the news. The narrative is that Russia is doing a "special operation" in his Dumbass Republic. And lots of documentaries about how the west is bad and failed on their promises 30 years ago. It feels

This has happened to other wars in the region too. State trolls mass report twitter and youtube accounts to get people banned, or have their videos "age restricted" (which means youtube does not recommend them). It' s the st
