David Sinclair seems like a really credible source on slowing down the ageing process because (a) he’s a Harvard professor and Harvard has their pick of the litter, and (b) he looks incredibly young for a 52-year-old. Of course some of his youthful appearance might just be genetics since high IQ people tend to be very skinny and neotenous.
One of the reason I like him is he believes in eating only one meal a day which I love because I’d much rather have a big meal while I’m binging on netflix on the couch then have a dozen small snacks that I can’t enjoy because I need to be back at work 10 minutes later. He’s also a huge fan of fasting which I love because it allows you to compensate for overindulging on the weekend which I need to do. He also hates exercise just like me.
He also drinks diet coke! My dad’s always sending me emails about the hazards of diet soda, but I love diet coke because it gets me through my fasting days. I can’t drive a car for any length of time without getting my diet coke fix from the McDonald’s drive through (the best diet coke on Earth, so refreshing with all the ice) but sadly I have to bring my own straw now because they’ve got environmentally friendly with the paper straws.
He also believes plants are healthier than meat. This is reminiscent of Rushton’s r/K theory in that meat build muscles and energy which helps you attract women and leave lots of offspring (r strategy) but plant allows you to live a long life. That’s fine too because I’m loving me Harvey’s veggie burgers and Burger King’s plant based whopper, and I’ve even taken to plant based omelets that you just put in the toaster. This was my breakfast several weeks ago:
Below is a clip from an interview with David Sinclair:

The maxim I’ve heard is that, biologically, you’re as old as your skin looks.
How would you estimate David Sinclair’s age from this picture, apparently taken around age 50 judging from the article’s publication date? https://cdn10.bostonmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/fea-sinclair-1.jpg
I’d say he looks to be in his late thirties.
He looks younger in the video I posted than he does in that picture. So maybe his methods are making him look progressively younger.
I was hoping the video was going to be from several years before the article I got that picture from so I could mock you for being dumb
what matters is not about how old you get! its about how you carry your cognitive capacity into old age that matters.
a mind that is able to think critically into old age will be a lot more productive than say someone who uses it without guidance in young age.
being 26 years old its tough to say what life will be like in my older years let alone in a few years but i hope to gain the opportunity to harness whatever ive learned and apply it best i can when i get there. 🙂
That breakfast in the picture looks disgusting. I’m going to eat waffles with apple syrup this morning. Yummy.
I have to say you are obsessed with aliens. How many times have you posted pictures of aliens? What is going on?
Paul’s profile picture of Thomas Aquinas with puppy’s head is hilarious.
I don’t like Teffec at all.
He’s a moralistic, condescending crybaby who’s VERY jealous of PP.
Even Pill is more likeable!
The Teffec personality should be banned!
I can understand all those points except the condescending one. My diction can be seen as pretentious sometimes, but I try to hold back and be non-condescending because I value everyone’s perspective as long as they’re honest. You’re the type of person to get punched in the face for being a snarky weasel and then press charges
I do unduly shit on liberals tho. I recognize that many mean well, but this is a safe space for doing that
Lerenzo personally I think you need medications if you think those things.
The difference is you are smart.
Others shit on liberals I have no respect for cause they are emotional shits.
liberal is not a group it’s a personality, can you understand that difference? Politics is genetic.

pp, would you comment on my latest scores?
You took the Wechsler yet again? When?
Do you have a subtest by subtest breakdown?
I should have been told about this sooner! There isn’t a moment to loose!
lose, not loose
“Do you have a subtest by subtest breakdown?”- pp
no I dont
too bad because then we could do an apples to apples comparison of how you did all 3 times, controlling for changes in subtest composition. Next time you see the psychologist ask for that data.
I took it in oct 28
Why the fuck would you do the WAIS 3 separate times? Are you fucking retarded?
Anime how do you pay for your healthcare anyway? It dont think medicaid provides mental health treatment does it? In any case, your psychiatrist is terrible. You should seriously consider finding a new doctor who diagnoses you with autism and doesnt do the WAIS 3 times on you.
The reason I’ve had the test several times is that I’ve switched psychiatrists a lot. This time the evaluation was for autism. You get so many things wrong pill.
Anime another autistic trait you have is a love of data. You are obsessesed with data about yourself. I bet you like analysing it until the cows come home.
^^^^ how is this comment offensive? wtf
pill,
look into the nerd geek difference.
pp is a geek, I am a nerd.
Anime your weaknesses are autism. your strengths are autism. take it as you will but that is all you need to know to stay safe and sound in your own head.
I used to follow David Sinclair’s supplement programme. The supplements he gets are quite rare and expensive though. Also recent research has shed doubt on a daily aspirin as being good for you. But yes, he is the pre-eminent authority on aging.
Rushton was right about R/K literally meaning slow life/fast life. East Asians tend to live longest when you control for everything and age the slowest. My guess is that blacks tend to die youngest, but that is just a guess. If its true Rushton should be given the Nobel in physiology.
do you even science bro!? you are the least K-selected most r-selected person on this blog.
schizophrenia and K-selection are inversely correlated this site has various articles strictly dedicated to the topic!
just type in “black woman, chinese man” into google and you will see that chinapeople have smaller heads than europeans.
imagine some anthropologist came out with a study claiming europeans have the largest brains…
would not be published.
stop commenting you idiot. you have no value. you are a confused incel jihadi a hundred years past your time you insentient barbecue porkchop!
peepee says:
that’s only because the stupidest (smallest headed) chinamen hookup with negresses.
why do you always redact my comments where i refer to you as PP? are you brainwashed to believe that it makes any difference in your life?
are you suffering another psych episode my man?
Because I’m smart. Something I learned from Oprah. Rather than get into a mud fight with pigs, I just use my power which you don’t have.
you dont have much power you just seem to abuse it more than others 🙂
I feel a bit left out of the bickering on this site now that RR and Melo is gone, complaining about Pumpkin for no reason like you guys seems like fun 🙂
Hey Pumpkin, why are you such a swarthy gay jew-lover? (No offense)
Your moderation skills are subpar and your father smelt of elderberries!
youre definitely brainwashed.
Puppy you keep saying all intelligence is g loaded but social intelligence is basically the opposite of quantitative intelligence. How do you explain that. Its like Muhammed Ali vs Terry Tao/Bill Gates.
Microsoft bought Activision recently. They’ve got very aggressive on dominating games. My understanding is that Bill Gates still has a lot of influence at Microsoft even though he stepped down and was criticised by the board for coming onto young female employees. I think he is behind this strat.
Mug of Piss you idiot! nothing you say ever made sense! please apply more intelligence and empathy to yourself or you are a doomed conman.
bergmann’s rule is also confirmation that europeans’ ancestral environment was much colder than that of ne asians.
europeans are bigger for the same reason polar bears, grizzlies, kodiaks are the biggest bears and moose are the biggest deer.
bergmann’s rule is why mongolians dominate sumo.
but icelanders haven’t tried to dominate sumo. if they did, they would.
And where does Allen’s rule and Arctic people & Neanderthals fit into your argument? Arctic people are a mystery because they have bigger brains and stumpier bodies than whites or East Asians, which is expected from their cold homelands, but lower IQ (at least phenotypically) and darker skin. I know you’ve said their darker skin is because they haven’t been in the artic that long, yet they’ve been there long enough to acquire big brains and Allen rule bodies (which neanderthals also had).
would artic people have higher iqs on culture fair tests?
We don’t know because nominal culture fair tests can sometimes be quite culturally biased & I know of no study where arctic people were raised from infancy to adulthood by whites. Of course the Minnesota transracial adoption study suggested upbringing had no impact whatsoever on the black-white IQ gap, but Arctic people might have even worse environments than U.S. blacks do.
But yes arctic people score higher on non-verbal tests than verbal tests but that’s predictable given English is not their first language.
bergmann’s rule is why mongolians dominate sumo.
allen’s rule explains bergmann’s rule…
it’s just math.
the surface area vs volume ratio decreases…
large head size and large body size…
less likely to freeze to death.
much.
the sphere has surface area to volume ratio of …
volume = 4/3*pi*r^3
surface area = 4*pi*r^2
volume/surface = 1/3*r
linear for sphere.
but humans aren’t spheres…except marlon brando…and henry kissinger.
sorry.
surface area/volume
is 3r.
for a sphere.
what is it for a human body shape?
but in general…
the same shape (whatever it is) has a HIGHER surface area to volume ratio…
this is just MATH!
You people are both so stupid. Its true that some animals like seals and walruses develop extra layers of fat to adapt to the cold but its not true that the smartest humans are artic people. The smartest humans are jews and they derive half their genes from the middle east. So until puppy can explain why arctic people aren’t as smart as jews or even east asians then these various rules need to be rethought.
so-called arctic peoples who are midgets like the sami…but not actually the inuit…
the sami are the problem/outlier of the theory.
inuit are actually not short + they’ve only been in arctic canada for 1,000 years and they came from aleuts…the aleutians are never very cold (or warm)…
what about the chukchi? how long have they been where they are?
It is widely accepted that modern humans conform to Bergmann’s rule…
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3756069/
but overall body size/robustness is not the same as height…sc. david tua…
you and Pill are idiot savants in that all your theories are guided by the same problematic views you have held since the first day of your development in being able to think and communicate!
Bergmann’s rule definitely has some meaningfulness in discussion of these topics but to limit yourselves and say that there might not be other interacting facets of biology occurring is all in all a misjudgment.
often times there are many things happening at once to produce the landscape of answers that exist to the question of how things came about. to limit it to only one perspective in application will usually lead to an incorrect outcome.
you might want to think about how many different things are working together to bring about an answer rather than focus on just one single idea.
i dont think its reasonable to say that people are this way or that way because of one force acting in only one direction but because of Occams Razor we are forced to do just that.
Simple things emerge from complex scenarios and vice versa is the biggest resource for solving problems like these leading to the correct answer.
I have something embarrassing I have to admit. Sometimes I watch Fox news. It started with Tucker but now I sometimes watch various shows. Fox have really improved a lot though in the past few years. It used to be neocon garbage.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jan/22/the-walls-are-closing-in-trump-reels-from-week-of-political-setbacks
This article talks about all the legal investigations into Trump. They have a lot of evidence so its probably a slam dunk legally that he would be charged. This reminds me of the non autistic version of the law that I need to remind people of.
Basically they cannot imprison Trump without risking mass violence so I’m pretty sure Trump won’t go to jail. That matters more than all the laws in the world.
It would be hilarious if Terry Tao got an African wife. LOL. That would be all my HBD theories united in 1 marriage.
I genuinely Trump is immune from going to jail at this moment in time. Think what would happen if they put him in there. There would be a civil war tomorrow.
Quite possibly. Mr. Trump may be as crooked as many say, but if those who have convicted and sentenced him in the court of public opinion have their way and he is gifted with a wardrobe to match his complexion and a compulsory stay in “federal housing”, what ensues may have them pining for the days of that quaint “insurrection”. Too many believe that the system is being rigged to preclude a Trump presidential sequel, and that they, by extension, are on the verge of disenfranchisement. It seems the demolition squad is unwittingly eyeing a house full of dynamite.
