If you cure aging do you also cure Alzheimers?

No, because they're only slightly related. You can be an extremely old person and still not have Alzheimer's Disease, so there's clearly some distinction.

Also Aubrey de Grey is a hack

this, but it's a shame because tackling aging is a really good idea and although it's true we need mastery over cytobiology in general but a lot of basedboys still take death for granted too much in science

or just time dependent. takes ~20 years for Huntington's to make enough CAG repeats that symptoms start, but we wouldn't say that it's really connected to aging

Well, technically yes because we would use our hosts as pleasure-chaos input vessels so the need for eternal memoization is removed as we would not longer be idempotent groups vying for some "MY GROUP GETS SAVED AND YOURS DOESN'T" level of bullshit.

4chan is my gym; physical reality my dojo; and language my discipline.

My ego is that everything else exists, and I the patient presenter of proof irrefutable for none are as patient as my ego; which includes every subsequent reader and moment of information absorption.

No. Alzheimer's is a disease and it isn't a normal part of aging.

In that sense I don't disagree, but do you think the SENS/hallmarks of aging are fraudulent too?

I think Alzheimer's is related to brain atrophy in old age, but this might also be due to inactivity in general.

It's about exposure. A longer life means more time to be exposed, increasing risk, but it can still develop by your 40's or 50's.

No, because Alzheimers is from copper deficiency

>> No.11495922

>>11495912
I think it's more likely the copper transport is deranged in Alzheimer's patients, either due to some genetic defect, heavy metal toxicity, inflammation, and/or infection.
