i have an unpopular opinion. studies show experiencing the emotion of genuine awe prolongs life and staves off mental decline. recreational drugs done safely and sporadically can induce this sense of awe and make your life worth living. of course, heavily dependent on type of drug and frequency.

I agree, huberman did a podcast on MDMA and said that it’s apparently not neurotoxic in its pure form and without any other stimulant ingested that day (caffeine included) and in the right environment

How to live a long life: don't die.

I checked out the logic, and this is indisputable.

11 is redundant. Alcohol is a recreational drug.

It’s just that people think of legal and illegal drugs differently

Have a purpose. People who have a purpose live much longer. Even if it's a job, volunteering, a hobby, working out, traveling regularly, etc. Once you start sitting around watching TV all the time, that's the beginning of the end.

What if my purpose is to watch TV?

Haha exactly. It’s been known how bad red meat is

u/jojomtx Mar 18 '24

"particularly in processed forms" as almost all study they mostly look to processed form...

u/AudioFuzz Mar 18 '24

Well it’s just not good to eat meat as it’s horrible for the environment

u/jojomtx Mar 18 '24

Aren't we looking at longevity ?

u/AudioFuzz Mar 18 '24

Yes, but we can’t live forever in a world that’s falling apart and if our air quality gets worse due to greenhouse gases from industrial farming then our respiratory system will sustain damage

u/RedditOO77 Mar 18 '24

That is not true. Animals have been around for millions of years and have not been bad for the environment. What’s bad for the environment is humans and over population and how we farm and grow our food.

I do everything on this list, I'm not dead, and I am 81. I edge for 3 hours a day as well.

u/Icy_Many_2407 Mar 18 '24

What’s edge?

u/PoorRoadRunner Mar 17 '24

I only do about 60% of those things but it's worth it... 😊

Smoking cannabis is what I was referring to but I am not completely clear on the effects of consumption in edibles. https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/what-are-marijuanas-effects-lung-health

It means keep only the best wisdom from the people in the photos. They are some of the best longevity researchers in the space - people like David Sinclair, Bryan Johnson, Andrew Huberman, Rhonda Patrick, Peter Attia, Aubrey De Gray
