what's good for the group isn't always desirable for the individual. I'm sure you can think of as many examples as I can.

yep, dig. Interesting to hear someone else's subjective experience

hopefully. but throwing complex systems out of whack fucks them up in surprising ways. and it seems like "having a creature live centuries beyond their child-bearing age" would be a primo way to do that 😆

nice! when you say "inflammation gone", what feels different? what are you noticing as absent (or present?)

For now, that's a hard disagree from me :) Life is the one thing there can never been too much of, for an individual experiencing it.

This is the healthiest I've ever been! and I've always been basically good. Lately I've really been feeling great - but it's exactly because i've been living closer to in harmony with my ancestral history wrt diet, exercise, sleep, etc - the basics. ...this observation is what motivated the above note.

I can feel myself slowly coming to terms with the capitulation that radical life extension is likely either not going to happen or will just be painful and unpleasant for the individual. this is a reversal for me and I'm not happy about it... but fighting against millions of years of adaptation never goes well, for obvious reasons. welcome to complex systems.

You are the first "Fan of taxes" who didn't reply to me with, "That's retarded, if taxes were optional nobody would pay them!"

I'm not against voluntary taxes. I'm against coercive taxes. give me a checkbox of things I can choose to pay for (and the resulting services I either get or don't get) and I wouldn't have a problem.

oh I didn't realize we were agreeing. its free for the recipient, and free for the government, but extremely costly for the individual it was involuntarily coerced out of.

The reason I stick with nostr is the same reason I stick with all open protocols: NO to permission and coercion; YES to voluntary cooperation. exit, opt-out, opt-in, reorganize voluntarily. https://fountain.fm/episode/dx7ZCbuFd02B2WNHw5t0 nostr:nevent1qvzqqqpxquqzpeky7z5nf2xu03fuhyvjvpzvje7eahdvdydrfsgr26myn3jap7vrdn2563

in this case, the subsidy money is the "lunch". and it's not free

this is great! might help to make it clear to the sender that the recipient can't "reply" and encourage them to leave contact details if they expect a response

in my experience, people worry that social safety nets funded by government theft will be removed and the poor will suffer
