What is cool is that they aren't relying on apoptosis to prevent cancer, which is basically what humans have to do and which coinicidentally (?) every religion has some sort of fasting ritual, which whether the point or not, induces apoptosis. These guys and whales just repair their broken strands 🤯 we are so close to extending life and health span 🤞
(Lots of which's but I ain't rewriting that, hopefully a point emerges anyways 😅😆)

It seems that destruction of precancerous cells via autophagic-induced apoptosis (while fasting or otherwise) is the trade-off the DNA of humanity chose — perhaps in favor of more aggressive proliferation. Now that the human race is highly evolved, we may be able to shift that trade-off away from indiscriminate apoptosis of mildly damage cells to only inducing apoptosis in cells that are resistant to these advanced forms of DNA repair! 🧬
I wish nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m would get interested in longevity — after what happened to Hal and ALS, it would be nice to see an extropian revival. The original cypherpunks were extropians after all.
