Should this exist
I hate the way that Greg was so dismissive of the cost concerns. Without offering any explanation, he just said that he saw it being cheap and mentioned a figure of one dollar per day. This goes against everything we know about pharmaceuticals -- about the medicine in the U.S. even. It's a common enough line from medical researchers that costs will come down soon enough but completely untrue. If I break my arm and need a cast, that cast will cost me a month's wages with full health insurance. My grandfather at the same age receiving the same cast on his arm at the same age would have paid maybe one day's wage. With pills, it's even worse because the entire medicine patent system works to protect price gauging practices. This guy is absolutely working towards extending the lives of the very few who can afford the treatment. I can see absolutely no cause to think that once they have secured this privilege for themselves, the wealthy will share it with anyone. If I'm wrong, he can at least give us a reason why he thinks we are wrong instead of acting insulted that someone would raise the issue with him.
I have always had a prob w/ ear buds!! lol
Marvelous piece! Thank you. As a believer in #humor4peace I believe there is an incredible interplay between humor and bias. This podcast really affected my perception on facial recognition gone wrong—in the context of conflict resolution and how we react to jokes, micro aggressions and outright hate. We must be able to check the algorithm data bias—not just for AI! We need human help too! 😉
To be realistic, this would result in only the well off living a long time. As income inequality increases more dramatically every few years, and political leaders have absolutely no interest in taking care of everyone in society, the poor and working class will eventually be able to afford only food -- not housing, not entertainment, and certainly not senolytic supplements. And having more people live twice as long will destroy the planet, already dying under the demand of too many humans.
