Nobel Prize science winners who were simply wrong:

Linus Pauling — megadose vitamin C cures cancer and infectious disease
Johannes Fibiger — parasitic worms cause cancer (actually vitamin A deficiency)
Nikolaas Tinbergen — cold mothers' milk causes autism
Élie Metchnikoff — intestinal bacteria cause aging; sour milk extends lifespan
Alexis Carrel — eugenics rests on sound genetics
António Moniz — lobotomy as psychiatric treatment

@algore didn't get a science prize, because he knows nothing about science. He got a political prize, because he is an expert at politics. He invented an entirely new kind of lobotomy 50 years after Moniz.

I've spent the last 2 years trying to get Americans to extend their healthspan by doing the basics (reduce insulin resistance, lose fat, increase protein, build muscle and bone), and I've learned that there is no demand. People don't want to change. They want a drug.

This leads to the longevity paradox: if a drug comes out that actually works (today's drugs don't), people will use that as an excuse to eat more cake and drink more beer, thereby defeating the drug and shortening their lives. Think and research the market before you sell longevity "solutions." Half of all teens today are pre-diabetic. This is not caused by them not taking their anti-aging drugs. People in their 50s and 60s will not change behavior, it's the last thing they will do. They don't perceive shortened healthspan as a problem. The vast majority of Americans are not interested in prevention.

I don't think peptides (GLP-1 agonists) are making anyone live longer, but they are great for investors and suppliers. Are you solving an actual problem or just making money?

Exceptions never prove rules, ever. There is no exception to this.

. @chamath I have a for-profit plan to replace academic publishing with better data, train LLMs on more accurate science data, and fix the fundamental incentive flaws with research, publishing, allocation, LLM training, and science education. Please DM me and I'll send you my plan.

. @ericweinstein Science is broken. I have a proposal to fix it. Please DM me and I'll send it to you. Thank you.

@jacobkimmel @newlimit @foundersfund @ThriveCapital @Greenoaks The longevity paradox: if you give people longevity drugs that actually work (so far none does), they will use that as an excuse to eat more cake and drink more whiskey, and die sooner as a result.

A guy who has no clue about how Earth's climate system works making poor arguments for why markets should be restricted rather than people making their own decisions.

Learn climate-science basics, so you can say smarter things about energy and the food supply:

@ericweinstein Eric, you know science is broken. Feynman would not be happy. I have a proposal to fix science. DM me and I'll send you my plan.
