  • telomeres are cells’ biological clock… they get shorter with each division, and is the general cause of your body breaking down, round the 80’s.
    telomerase and other chemicals can reset those telomeres, but also cause the body’s existing precancerous cells to go malignant. (telomeres also limit cancer cell growth, and creating telomerase is one of the mutations required for full on cancer)
    so, if we can regrow cells telomeres without causing cancer… we have a youth serum.
    but there’s already other telomerase gene therapy in development anyways…




  • you’re so dense, i was responding to “Consider that maybe you associate modeling with advertisements because our society is more driven by marketing than culture.” and explaining that’s not why i consider modeling advertising… not you’re strawman of “so everyone should just take my opinion as fact”
    and the obvious joke was about wanting them to all die painful deaths, not all of it.
    i find it hard to believe you’re that stupid and still able to use a keyboard, so i have to assume you’re a troll



  • actually, no. It’s a line from the movie Mia… about a model… and i, an artist, have given it thought prior to this discussion…
    photography IS an art, yep… models posing isn’t… it can be kinda artistic, i suppose… there’s an expression in it… but it can be artistic without being an artform.
    like making a wood dresser, it’s more of craftsmanship than an art (but carpentry cooooould be used in art, such as wooden sculpture…)
    and, yes, influencers coooould be taking artistic pictures of themselves, but that’s not what influencer really means.
    at any rate, i hope they all die painful deaths… and it’s about the only artsy thing i feel ok with AI replacing.
    And if you consider beauty filters, AI replaced influencers a long time ago…
