    And yes I know "diet, exercise, sleep" is important but tbh it sounds like a capitalist saying "you just need to buckle down and find a job." Like I fucking know that stuff is important but it's not gonna fix everything.

    Yeah if the capitalists are gonna develop some kind of anti-aging pill or injection, then China and India will just copy it and it'll benefit millions more in the global south. I mean according to the "classical" theory from Marx, it's better to let them develop this shit and then just appropriate it when the time is right.

      It's fine and good if it doesn't involve economically coercing younger people to "donate" for pennies on the dollar for "research" for billionaire immortality gambits as it currently is now.

      Whether non-vampiric treatments will be affordable in the west in the forseeable future when fucking insulin still isn't for a lot of people looks dubious.
