Read the Guardian piece about how rapid scientific progress gives us tools to stop time more convincingly than ever, but lurking behind these claims is the same fear of ageing. It’s a sharp takedown of the longevity industry that’s been on my mind lately, especially seeing so many people in the peptide and research-compound spaces chasing any hint of a "fountain". The article argues that anti-ageing is really just ageism dressed up in a lab coat, and I can’t help but agree.

It feels like we’re often sold the idea that getting older is a defect to fix rather than a natural part of life. My own take?
