Old Spice, by Menin

On a very long term timescale, death actually isn't curable. That's because for our genes that are running the show, death is a feature not a bug. It's crucial for evolution and even if it's possible to have a species that evolves without its individuals dying, if that slows down evolution then they would be outcompeted by faster evolving death-based species.

So in order to stop death you would need to devise an entirely different form of life where death doesn't accelerrate evolution AND have it outcompete the previous life.

That seems an incredibly hard task so death may not be curable after all. If the problem is smart living beings don't want to die and are actively fighting it, then nature would simply evolve beings that like dying.

What about the way the vaccine was administered? Aspiration supposedly prevents the rare vascular complications that can lead to myocarditis, among other issues.

Welp I work graveyard at night and spend days with my five year old and sleep an average of three to five hours. Guess I am screwed being over forty and living this way.

G.W. misunderstood (malevolent) genius.

I'm going to have to disagree here.

Psychopathy is a developmental delay. It's a delay in the development of emotional intelligence and empathy.

You can avoid the word retardation if it offends you, but the actual fact of the matter is that psychopaths are behind in an essential facet of human cognitive function.

"Skewed not limited" damaged, not absent or suppressed?

Semantics. Part of your psyche doesn't function normally. If you don't like hearing it, then stop claiming publicly that part of your psyche doesn't function properly.

I asked Chat GPT about a seminal paper in a niche area (rare genetic disease), and it got the citation right. I think the key is that it has to be a paper that's discussed in the training data.

I'm not a science journalist. I highlighted that detail because most of this information isn't new, as the authors note: "many of the cases of myocarditis or pericarditis were mild and required either no treatment or were managed conservatively with NSAIDs, similar to what has been reported in other studies."

What is actually new is the finding that many weren't hospitalized, and that those who were had a shorter duration than previously recorded: "Almost all episodes were seen in an emergency department, fewer than one-half of adolescents were admitted to hospital, and those who were hospitalized experienced a short length of stay (median duration: 1 day)."

To be clear, you can't reverse aging just by heating up or overfeeding an old person. The point is that aging and death on human time scales are not an inevitable consequence of the laws of thermodynamics. Entropic changes can be reversed using an external source of energy (e.g. you can use energy to set up bowling pins after knocking them down). With the right technology, it is absolutely possible to repair aging-associated damage and restore an old person to a youthful state. It's a very difficult engineering problem, but there's no theoretical reason it can't be done.

You ever notice how the title is designed to create as much argument as possible while still being technically correct? I hate what science journalism has turned into.

Here is the paragraph describing the results of the study:

>Results There were approximately 1.65 million doses of BNT162b2 administered and 77 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among those aged 12 to 17 years, which met the inclusion criteria during the study period. Of the 77 adolescents (mean [SD] age, 15.0 [1.7] years; 63 male individuals [81.8%]), 51 (66.2%) developed myocarditis or pericarditis after dose 2 of BNT162b2. Overall, 74 individuals (96.1%) with an event were assessed in the emergency department, and 34 (44.2%) were hospitalized (median [IQR] length of stay, 1 [1-2] day). The majority of adolescents (57 [74.0%]) were treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs only, and 11 (14.3%) required no treatment. The highest reported incidence was observed among male adolescents aged 16 to 17 years after dose 2 (15.7 per 100 000; 95% CI, 9.7-23.9). Among those aged 16 to 17 years, the reporting rate was highest in those with a short (ie, ≤30 days) interdose interval (21.3 per 100 000; 95% CI, 11.0-37.2).

Dark personality traits override moral conditioning which opens up new possibilities that are normally subconsciously restrained by said moral conditioning.

My whole takeaway from this study is that I turn middle age next Thursday and it hurts.

Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

It's just how systems work in a general sense, energy counters entropy, if you can put new energy into a system you can maintain order. Fundamentally bodies don't need to break down as there's nothing theoretically irreplaceable or irreversible, so long as there is still energy available to inject into the system.

We are biological machines that evolved to reproduce and pass on genes, and the genes that consistently resulted in survival with successful reproduction formed a machine with a lifespan as long as ours. Many other creatures live far longer or far shorter lives.
