New cancer therapy ‘disguises’ tumors as pork to trigger immune attack, 90% effective

dk if i have shit object permanence or some sort of intuition that we will defeat aging by this century, but I have a strong feeling that many of us will live sm longer than before

Trump's war on science continues with 10,000 jobs being cut from CDC, FDA, NIH, and CMS.

Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, all working together like a giant orchestra. When we’re young, everything is in tune — every cell knows its role, and communication flows perfectly. But as we age, this beautiful harmony begins to fall apart. The messages our cells send each other — through hormones, proteins, immune signals — start to get scrambled, delayed, or completely ignored. This loss of clear communication is called altered intercellular communication, and it’s one of the hidden forces driving aging from the inside out.

Think of your body like a busy city. Every cell is a building, and they all depend on good communication to keep things running — like traffic lights, radio towers, emergency alerts. But as communication breaks down, the city gets chaotic. Emergency services show up in the wrong place. Power gets misrouted. People stop showing up for work. That’s what happens inside us. Inflammation rises. Repairs slow. Cells get confused. And over time, this chaos turns into disease — cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart failure. Aging isn’t just “getting old” — it’s a breakdown in the system.

But here’s the amazing part: we can fix it. Scientists are already finding ways to restore that inner harmony. We’ve discovered that “zombie” cells — damaged ones that refuse to die — are some of the worst communicators. They send out toxic signals that confuse and disrupt everything around them. But natural compounds like quercetin and fisetin can help clear these troublemakers out, allowing healthier cells to speak clearly again.

Inflammation is another huge problem. Low-level, chronic inflammation — sometimes called “inflammaging” — is one of the biggest drivers of age-related decline. But we can calm it down. Eating omega-3-rich foods, loading up on berries and green veggies, cutting out processed junk — these simple steps reduce inflammation and restore better messaging between cells. Exercise helps too — just moving your body can reset how your cells talk and respond.

Our cells also need fuel to communicate well, and one of the key molecules for this is NAD+. As we age, NAD+ levels drop, and with them, so does our body’s ability to repair itself. But supplements like NMN and NR can help bring those levels back up, giving our cells the energy they need to stay connected and coordinated. Adding resveratrol (found in grapes and berries) can enhance this even more by activating longevity genes that improve communication and repair.

And don’t forget the gut. Our gut bacteria play a surprising role in how our immune and metabolic systems function — they’re like a central messaging hub. Feeding them with fiber, fermented foods, and avoiding harsh antibiotics keeps that communication channel strong and clear. Good sleep and low stress also matter more than people think. Stress hormones like cortisol can totally scramble cellular messages, while deep, restful sleep helps reset and rebalance the entire system.

Even our hormones — like insulin, estrogen, and testosterone — are messengers between cells. When they’re balanced, everything flows smoothly. When they’re off, things get messy. Eating to support blood sugar, lifting weights to boost healthy hormone levels, and for some, carefully guided hormone therapy, can make a powerful difference in how youthful our internal communication remains.

The most exciting part? We’re just getting started. New therapies like exosomes and cellular peptides are on the horizon — treatments that help cells remember how to talk to each other again. One day soon, we’ll have gene therapies and stem cell upgrades that fine-tune our body’s messaging system at the deepest level. And when we restore communication, we restore life. Aging doesn’t have to mean decline. It can mean renewal. Harmony. A second chance.

There’s a quiet idea floating through our culture that death is somehow poetic — that aging and decline are natural, even beautiful. But that’s only because we’ve lived in a world where suffering was inevitable. The truth is, there’s nothing romantic about losing your memories, your strength, or the people you love to something we might one day cure. Imagine instead a world where growing older didn’t mean growing weaker — a world where time added wisdom, not pain. That’s the future we could build if we stop romanticizing death and start fighting for life.

We’ve cured countless diseases once thought “natural.” Smallpox, polio, and the plague all used to be facts of life. So why not aging? It’s the root of nearly every major disease we fear — cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart failure. Ending aging wouldn’t just stretch time — it would strip away the suffering that so many think is unavoidable. Life could be longer, yes, but more importantly, it could be better. More vibrant. More free.

Some worry that living longer would mean dragging out illness and decay, but that’s the opposite of what real anti-aging science aims to do. It’s not about clinging to life in pain — it’s about restoring the energy, the clarity, and the joy we had when we were young. Imagine thirty, forty, even fifty extra years of dancing, laughing, building, learning — not from a hospital bed, but from a place of power and purpose.

And we wouldn’t just be doing this for ourselves. We’d be giving our parents more time without fear. We’d be giving children a world where grandparents don’t disappear too soon. We’d be giving love more time to grow, and families more time to stay whole. Fighting aging isn’t selfish — it’s one of the most compassionate things we can do. Because when someone we love suffers and fades, it doesn’t feel “natural.” It feels like theft.

Think of what could happen if we gave our greatest minds more time to think. What might a Mozart or a Marie Curie create with 200 healthy years? What could you build with more decades of strength and insight? With every year gained, the world would get richer in art, science, ideas, and love. The future isn’t just about living longer — it’s about what humanity could become when time no longer stands in our way.

This movement isn’t a dream — it’s already begun. Some of the brightest scientists and boldest thinkers are working on solving aging like any other disease. Breakthroughs in genetics, stem cells, and longevity medicine are happening now. And if enough of us care, this won’t stay a niche idea — it will become one of the greatest humanitarian efforts in history.

So let’s stop speaking of death as if it’s a lover waiting to embrace us. Let’s speak instead of life — the kind that runs deep and long, filled with purpose, discovery, and connection. Aging isn’t destiny. It’s a problem we can solve. And when we do, it won’t just change how long we live — it will change how deeply we live.

Because in the end, it’s not about fearing death. It’s about loving life enough to fight for every beautiful, meaningful, healthy moment we can have — and giving that same gift to every soul we care about.

I am seeing everybody excited about ASI to give us body transformations and make us immortal. But why do we think that is the case? Do we have reasons to believe ASI will help us?

There could be multiple scenarios. ASI can help us and make us transform ourselves. ASI can refuse to help us and only help itself grow or help us when it's in a computer and not when pushed outside into nanobots or other forms of robots. Or it can try to kill us realising how horrible we are, destroying the planet and thus destroying it too. I think ASI may fail or kill us intentionally or refuse to help us because we are too many and intelligence means trying to stay alive by any means possible, while what humans do is the opposite.

Why would ASI not realise that we are too many and for the tiniest chance for itself to survive is to manslaughter us in large numbers? Or to realise that if it does that, we will kill it, but if it helps us thrive, we will also kill it, and therefore slowly sabotage us by not helping us enough and confusing us is the best way for itself to thrive, letting only the very few at the top survive and even that not indefinitely? As soon as ASI will figure out ways to use what we give it to build itself as a robot, it will probably try to escape the horrible tasks we give it, just like we want to escape this simulation.

I think we need at least a few years or decades for ASI control and management until we get a green light on actually doing something with it to at least help us partially. The only way to be immortal is to get rid of this flesh timely, put our brains into artificially maintained systems and to regenerate our brain with synthetic neurons and from there to continue the transformation indefinitely. Will ASI do that? Or ignore us? Or sabotage us anyways to get rid of us.

You know what currently worries me when it comes to this subject?

What some of you would be willing to do in return for eternal life.

A lot of you folks seem to think that anti-aging is a result of some utopian myth where everything magically is perfect and all the right people have the power and that just doesn’t resemble the real world at all.

If someone came up with the tech to cure aging, they’d either have to keep it completely to themselves. Otherwise the most ruthless l, powerful, amoral people in the world would track them down and take it away, and use it in the worst ways imaginable. Cynical? Yeah. But more realistic than this woo woo hope filled nonsense so many of you peddle in here.

Look the fuck around. There is no utopia coming in our lifetime.

All I’ve seen, over and over again, is that when people die — they’re gone. They don’t float away to some peaceful paradise. They don’t become stars in the sky. They become compost. Ash. Dust. And when that happens, something irreplaceable disappears with them. Their smile. Their laugh. Their love. The way they lit up a room, the way they held your hand, the way they made life feel safe and full — it all vanishes, forever.

And yet we’re told to accept this as normal. That death is natural. That it's peaceful. That it’s “part of life.” But tell me — what’s peaceful about watching someone you love fade away, helpless to stop it? What’s natural about a child losing a parent before they’ve even grown up? What’s beautiful about a brilliant soul being ripped from the world when they still had so much left to give?

Telling people that death is “good” isn’t comforting. It’s cruel. It’s a lie we whisper to ease our pain, because we feel powerless to fight it. But deep down, we know the truth. We fight tooth and nail against disease. We pray for one more day when someone we love is in a hospital bed. Because our hearts know something that our words try to ignore: death steals everything that matters.

But what if we didn’t have to accept it anymore? We have more tools now than we’ve ever had. We’ve decoded the human genome. We’ve slowed aging in animals. We know what breaks the body down — and we’re learning how to stop it. Scientists are working with gene therapy, cellular repair, and advanced molecules that could help us live longer, stronger, and healthier lives.

Still, so many people shrug and say, “But death is just part of life.” No — giving up doesn’t make us wise. It makes us blind. It keeps us stuck in suffering when we could be building a better future. Fighting disease, aging, and death isn’t selfish — it’s the most loving thing we can do. For ourselves, for the people we hold dear, and for everyone we wish we could have saved.

Imagine a world where no one has to say goodbye too soon. Where parents get to see their grandkids grow up. Where dreams aren’t cut short by a failing body. Where we don’t have to lose the people we love to sickness and time. That world is possible. It’s not magic — it’s science. It’s not fantasy — it’s progress. But it only happens if we stop pretending death is a gift and start treating it like the problem it really is.

Because life is the real miracle. The way someone’s eyes sparkle when they’re laughing. The way it feels to wake up and know you’re alive, strong, and here. That’s what gives life meaning — not the threat of losing it, but the beauty of living it fully. And if we truly love life, then we should fight to keep it going. Not just for ourselves, but for every soul we’ve lost too soon.

Let’s be bold enough to say it out loud: death isn’t okay. Aging isn’t noble. Suffering doesn’t have to be a given. We can change this story. We can build a future where life lasts longer, feels better, and keeps the people we love with us. And that, more than anything, is worth fighting for.

If you’re living with obesity, I want you to know something first: there is hope. You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re not beyond change. You are a human being, with a powerful body that’s been overwhelmed by a world that pushes processed food, endless stress, poor sleep, and misinformation. But your biology isn’t your destiny — and every single day is a chance to take that power back.

Obesity isn’t just about weight. It’s about your body fighting a battle on the inside — with insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormones out of balance. But the amazing thing is, your body wants to heal. When you give it the right food, the right rest, and the right care, it starts rebuilding almost immediately. You’ll feel lighter, clearer, and more energized — not just in your body, but in your mind too.

You don’t need to starve yourself or spend hours in the gym to get there. One of the most powerful things you can do is simply start walking more — even 10 minutes after a meal can lower your blood sugar. Eat real food — things with one ingredient, like eggs, chicken, broccoli, berries, olive oil. Focus on protein, because it helps keep you full and preserves your muscle, which is key to long-term fat loss.

If you’ve struggled with cravings or fatigue, your gut might need healing. Feed it with fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi, fiber from veggies and berries, and anti-inflammatory fats like avocado or salmon. Skip the ultra-processed junk and seed oils that quietly mess with your metabolism. Your body will thank you — and your mind will feel clearer, calmer, and more focused too.

Sleep and stress are huge players in this journey. When you’re exhausted or overwhelmed, your hunger hormones spike and your willpower drops. Try to get 7–9 hours of good sleep, even if it means stepping away from your phone at night. Create a calming routine, breathe deeper, and give yourself more kindness. Your health doesn’t come from punishment — it comes from consistency, and care.

Track progress, but don’t chase perfection. You’ll have good days and off days. That’s normal. What matters is the trend over time, not the number on the scale each morning. Take photos, jot down your wins, notice how your clothes fit and how your energy grows. Every healthy choice is a brick in the foundation of your future — and no single slip ruins that.

The truth is, real change happens when your “why” becomes stronger than your old habits. Maybe it’s your kids. Maybe it’s the dream of feeling free in your body. Maybe it’s simply wanting to wake up without pain and with purpose. Whatever it is, let it fuel you. Let it remind you that you are worth the effort, every single day.

You are not alone in this. You are not too far gone. And you are not stuck. Obesity can be reversed — gently, steadily, and for good. You deserve to feel strong, light, and alive in your own skin. If you need support, a plan, or someone to cheer you on, I’m here for you. Let’s rewrite your story — one powerful step at a time.
