    Horror of this guy aside, I think ethical blood plasma rejuvination could exist under communism, and would be cool as hell

      (According to some on this site) Sorry brah its inherently exploitative.... Brah aging is natural and we should all get gray hair and wrinkles because I personally think it's "beautiful".... Brah come on brah...

        I don't think I saw anyone that actually said that, last I checked.

        My own issue was with the real and present economic coercion that compels college kids to "donate to research" for textbook money and get pennies on the dollar for what the vampires pay the vampirism companies for.

        If you want to feel like a living incarnation of very-intelligent in defense of the current state of things that's on you.

          Let’s say we eliminate aging, and we all look like we’re 25 until we keel over at age 200 or whatever. No more wrinkles, no more gray hair.

          I believe that would be a worse state of the world. We will have lost something beautiful.

        Hating old people is cool and good actually, and some bodies being better than others is a very leftist position

            It’s all good, I’m not gonna get mad online

            One day we will all get old and die, and I sincerely hope we won’t hate ourselves when it happens. I hope our friends and families love us more when it happens. Maybe then we will have the systems and support structures that will make being old in this society less painful.

            Until then it’s nursing homes. I am clearly in the minority on this one but I really hope we can, as a society, come around. That’s all from me on this one.

      Sure, but what we have is at best economic coercion to compel college kids to "donate to research" for textbook money and get pennies on the dollar for what the vampires pay the vampirism companies for. yea

      Honestly you probably get most of the benefits by just donating blood regularly and making your body produce new blood, no need to become some blood vampire lol.

      I am 90% sure it's all just techbro wishy thinking bulshit. If it was real and we had universal healthcare eternal youth that would be awesome but I am pretty confident that it is fake
