    Si-PoLR's feed on raw hatred and thanatonic energies of death and decay. LIE's suck blood; esp. from the poor.

    I've actually been wondering if taking blood from poor young people and infusing it into old rich people might be a profitable enterprise.

    No, it's potentially very good. Or are you talking about some moral aspect of this? I can't tell.

    Young people would get paid for just living. Furthermore, they could get bonuses for clean and healthy living. Blood untainted by social disease or drugs or even too much stress could carry a price premium, and old people typically have more money than they need but can't regain their youth, and so would be willing to pay. A lot. For blood.

    Of course, you'd have to arrange society so that large numbers of young, healthy people need money but can't easily get it, but most of that work has already been done.

    lmfao

    yes...we'll just expose the vulnerable poorest to exploitation by the most cruel death fearing wealthy. You'd have to be incredibly careful about popularizing something like that and make it a medical procedure like organ donation with some protections. It'd be a great thing to do if you had single payer govt medical care. Also....did you see this article on elderly who exercise and putting their blood in other elderly? so cool. Exciting

    I didn't see the article, but I'm aware of the benefits of transfusions of blood from young, healthy people into old people.

    The article said that you can get some of these benefits from exercise, but that sounds like work. Better to just buy a transfusion.


    Speaking of work, and returning to the topic of this thread, I was eating some oatmeal this morning with cinnamon and maple syrup on it and I was thinking of how much effort went into that bowl of cereal. The grains are grown and harvested and separated from the chaff, the maple syrup is tapped from trees and boiled down, and the cinnamon is scraped from the bark of trees, I believe, that grow on the other side of some ocean. If I had to prepare that breakfast myself from scratch, it would take months and thousands of dollars.

    But I just scarfed it down and retreated to my computing machinery. Which also is a marvel that I take for granted.

    NO. OLD rats exercised. THEN the scientists put the protein that was in their blood into SEDENTARY OLD RATS, and it changed their learning and health or something
