Yes, how would you define “does something good”? Live another year?
What it boils down to this: can you provide a concrete example of a metric that you’d accept as proof that it actually does something good? If not, then you’re just setting up a moving goal, and saying “bring me a rock”
That’s exactly what scientists are supposed to do. You can’t ask a random person on a forum to come up with a solid experiment setting…
Let me rephrase the original question: are there any solid, peer-reviewed studies, that have looked into life-extension and concluded a positive effect?
I can ask a random person on a forum asking about arbitrary levels of “realness” to solidify what they mean.
Maybe I wasn’t clear. I’m not asking for metrics that prove, without a doubt that something works. That is clearly what scientists should be doing, not, as we agree, a random person on the internet.
I’m asking for what metrics OP would accept as evidence that would convince them something works. That is something that scientists would not have a say in.
Would peer reviewed papers qualify? Would a random blogpost? Where is their bar set for things that would actually change their mind?
I’m actually not sure where the line is drawn for “life extension”, and would appreciate your two cents. Does a healthy diet, regular exercise, and ample sleep fall under that in your experience? Why or why not?
I know this guy does a lot of super off the wall techy stuff, but the foundation of what he focuses on seems to be pursuing these things (diet, sleep, exercise) with militaristic discipline.

Sounds good boss.
