  • I am not smart enough to have an opinion but I have read that Sinclair tends to exaggerate these type of claims.* - By mattb August 12, 2026 at 07:44:06 PM

  • nothing has changed in regards to aging. The best we can do is "square the curve" and get more people to live longer. Max human lifespan isn't going to change IMHO* - By DoctorD August 12, 2026 at 07:11:12 PM

    • I saw it referenced on Twitter so I went and listened to it. Rogan has turned into a terrible interviewer. Always clowning around. He used to be pretty good.* - By Alpo August 12, 2026 at 06:26:13 PM
