@davidasinclair but I’m curious —how do they separate “normal aging drift” from actual disease-related changes in the data?
and do they think this is reversible in a meaningful way, or just something that can be slowed down?
@davidasinclair this is actually a really interesting way to frame aging
if it’s really about “loss of coordination” instead of just damage buildup, that changes how you even think about reversing it
@hell_line0 the core issue people are pointing at is real though: policies can have unintended consequences, especially when healthcare, safety, and social support systems aren’t strong enough
@hell_line0 people use “snowflake” today mostly as an insult for perceived sensitivity, not as a direct literary reference or a deep ideological statement
you can critique the term and the culture behind it without stretching the origin story to fit a narrative
