Why do people in power age so well?
-
Is having power over life and death Peaty? all speculation acceptable
-
Can you give us an example of whom you are referring?
In general:
I would say they have the means for fillers.
Botox.
Cosmetic surgery.
Real food.However
I think Gates looks atrocious
As do some other powerful people… -
@peatful2-0 Gates preaches what he teaches

As do some other powerful people…I don't think gates is actually "powerful", just rich. People like him are there as a scapegoat. I don't think we know who any actual powerful people are. No reason for them to be public figures

Adrenochrome

@e_gregor Some examples would be Henry Kissinger (lived to 100), John D Rockefeller (97), Reagan and Bush Sr. Also the octogenarian politicians who refuse to retire such as Feinstein, McConnell, Pelosi, etc.
-
@e_gregor well then. The adrenachrome answer is the correct one here.

They get old, but do they age "well"? Old man Rockefeller, Soros or Pelosi look/looked like mummies straight out of some horror movie.

It takes a lot of energy to gain power, so their metabolism can't be that bad.

stupid ass question.

You guys realize adrenochrome is prob super toxic, right?
' However, uric acid can catalyze the
oxidation of epinephrine (...), and if
this leads to elevated adrenochrome levels, it
might interfere with cytoplasmic gel structure by acting on glutathione (...)''¨The electronic aspect of the cell's energy charge
suggests that cysteine or reduced glutathione
might be desirable, especially if there is evidence
that glutathione is being destroyed by something
like adrenochrome. (Sulphydryl blocking can
impair glycolysis, as can a niacin deficiency.) The
theory of donor-acceptor interaction might
eventually lead to a specific understanding of the
"electronic leak" and how best to intervene,
though it might not be such a discrete problem as
some theorists have hoped.'Quote from none other than the man himself. He wrote this back in 1975:

@mnemosyne Yes. I recently read that piece.
I wanted to get a conversation going with Georgi on it.
wrt Georgi's post:
http://haidut.me/?p=2401I know Georgi does not recommend it. But he is showing what benefits there are. And that those benefits can be achieved without such destruction. I would like for Georgi to expand on the negative impact of adrenochrome. Of course, aside from any harvesting it from children.
The cold plungers claim they do this practice is to harvest adrenochrome in themselves. I'd like to be able to refute them properly.
They also claim cold plunges help them deplete deuterium. Again, I don't think it works that way and any benefits are over-shadowed by the shock of ice baths. -
They do important and stimulating work

less cortisol probably from being wealthier/with connections hence there's less underlying stress/learned helplessness that those in lower classes experience from the various potential risks
also the habits of networking/planning/building things themselves probably boost Dopamine/Thyroid/other protective pro-metabolic hormones and higher social ranking boosts androgens/Thyroid/Dopamine too lowering serotonin
-
@rayp-flava wouldn't it being adrenaline-originated make it a negative/toxic substance sort of?
also afair adrenochrome can be bought/synthesized at home without any sentient conscious beings other than the synthesizer themselves being needed
so why no one has tried to do that to see if it actually induces anti-aging effects etc. and document it?
-
@CO2Master haidut has an article about its effects https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/how-adrenochrome-works-it-is-a-potent-oxidizer-quinone-and-serotonin-antagonist.51955/

This. Also, it's generally a selection effect - you're not going to become powerful if you're low in energy.

"Health is correlated to people’s socioeconomic status (SES) and lifestyle.[...] Lifestyle had significant positive effects on both physical and psychological health. In addition, lifestyle mediated the relationship between SES and health. This research is helpful in gaining a better understanding of the relationship and mediating mechanism between SES, lifestyle, and health. It is recommended that research with longitudinal design and comprehensive indicators be undertaken in the future."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6352250/And there is a lot more research/books like this one...
"A wealth of research shows that how much of it we possess dramatically affects not only our happiness and wellbeing but also our physical health – and without sufficient status, we become more ill, and live shorter lives. It’s an unconscious obsession that drives the best and worst of us: our innovation, arts and civilisation as well as our murders, wars and genocides."

@e_gregor winners (high in social hierachy) have more "happy" hormones and T running in their body. losers (low in social hierachy) the opposite
Ofcourse this is not the only thing happening in the body of winners and losers

@e_gregor rich people just have more money to live a quality healthy life looll
High quality food etc....
