Do you think we'll ever find a way to stop people from aging?

I was thinking about this at the height of the stem cell debate, when people were theorizing that stem cells could just regenerate basically any part of the body. If that were the case, couldn't we just continually "regenerate" different organs? Okay, that sounds pretty absurd, but maybe just in theory. Granted you could still kill said person, but this would protect against "normal" health-related deaths or deaths of old age.

I was also thinking that you couldn't afford this to just everybody, since you don't want overpopulation and the process is pretty expensive. An elite class would be the only ones that could afford or would deserve it -- think the sorts of people that would head to Mars to start over.

Smoot, hit me up -- I think we've got the makings of the next great Hollywood screenplay here. It's like a sci-fi/dystopian film, Dorian Gray meets Children of Men.

haha never thought about it, but it does sound like the making of a good sci-fi movie.

Suck it Fiz!!!!!!!

It really does -- especially when you consider how many recent films play on aging and time (Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Time Traveler's Wife, -- okay, so I can only remember those two right now, but I swear there have been more recently).

      Can we all admit it now?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      You’re right. I was thinking of the GB game with the silly reach for the goal line when he wasn’t close that turned into a goal line fumble. I do remember all the discussions in here about end of the game interceptions and bad passes, etc. but that wasn’t against the Chiefs. That said, still the best season by a QB since Cam. Best 4 game run was Darnold to start 2021, but best full season was Teddy. That makes me really sad.

      Agreed. I think they never seriously considered him an option even though he was/is miles better than Darnold.  I think the ego stuff was massively overplayed. He was played for the Browns, a disaster organization, and he accomplished more than they have in years. He came here to another diaster organization that happened to be worse than Cleveland and he didn't succeed. But, how could he? Frankly, who the fug could? I think our general fanbase really underestimates how terrible this organization truly is. It can nuke anyone.  poo, you see how Stroud is struggling with a damn good Texans team? Can you imagine how bad he would be here in our circumstances?? He can thank his lucky stars we made the choice we did.

      I think the vast majority of QBs only thrive or die based on their situations. But some are capable of making everyone else around them better in a way they redefine, or at least elevate, those situations. And some of the former group also just never will really have "it" when the moment matters. So far it feels like Bryce either needs the perfect situation or he just doesn't have "it". I suppose we'll get the season to see if that changes, but to call me skeptical is an understatement.
