  • The science behind the new technique involves the molecule nicotinamide adenine

    The science behind the new technique involves the molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which plays a role in generating energy in the human body.

    The chemical is already used as a supplement for treating Parkinson’s disease and fighting jet lag.

    Professor Sinclair, who is using his own molecule to reduce the aging process, said his biological age has dropped by 24 years after taking the pill.

    He said his father, 79, has been white water rafting and backpacking after starting using the molecule a year-and-a-half ago.

    The professor also said his sister-in-law was now fertile again after taking the treatment, despite having started to transition into menopause in her 40s.

    I engage in science and law, [You] conflate philosophizing (reasoning independent of falsification) with science (reason dependent upon falsification) and you conflate testimony which one must warranty with threat of punishment with self reporting which one does not.

    THAT IS PILPUL. “Excuse Making”

    THE SIMPLE ANSWER:

    Religion: what we can get away with? (mysticism),

    Philosophy: what I can get away with? (sophism),

    -vs-

    Science: What we can’t get away with (diligence and warranty).

    Law: What you can’t get away with (liability).

    Pseudorationalisms: Astrology, Theology, Numerology, Philosophy, Pilpul, Critique.

    -vs-

    Sciences: History, Economics, Accounting, Law, Science, Mathematics, logic (proper).

    Jung was not a scientist and neither was freud, although of nietzsche, jung, and freud, at least jung tried to correct freud. However … a good relationship between archetypes and personality traits, and between traits and reward systems, vs brain structure – good intuition.
