| JayDugger | I think that "changing physics through advanced technology" first appeared in SF from Lem's Imaginary Magintude or his Microworlds, but I've now read either one recently. | 06:18 |
| JayDugger | It's certainly not original to Liu. | 06:19 |

| abetusk | it was near the end. There was some theory that aliens were changing the laws of physics in such a way as to keep pace with our changing technology? I can't remember the specifics but I took it as Lem's way of saying "fuck you" to something or other | 06:21 |

| abetusk | Yeah, I might have gotten that wrong. It's been a while since I read it. Just a quick glance shows some theories about setting up structures that would survive a crunch or changing laws of physics (I think) to still send the 'signal' that the book is concerned with, but I can't find the specific thing I thought I had read.... http://www.omegalib.com/read/db2c27c21f24c2df46845f5099361f0f.html?ext=html | 06:38 |

| yashgaroth | sure, I mean if 5ug is an effective dose then try out peprotech, but that's absurdly expensive and an extremely low dose for a biologic | 17:32 |
| Aurelius | the dose is actually.... | 17:33 |
| Aurelius | like 2 ng/month or something | 17:33 |
| Aurelius | You've read all of the research Steve Perry did right? | 17:34 |
| yashgaroth | nope, I'll look into it | 17:34 |
| Aurelius | http://gdf11rejuvenation.com | 17:36 |
| yashgaroth | ok I don't trust some dude shooting up with it and posting a trip report when most studies are 0.1-1 mg/kg per week (even accounting for 8x higher metabolism in mice generally), especially with a prep that's probably dirty, misfolded, and full of endotoxin | 17:37 |

| ebowden | Why would people want to take GDF-11? | 18:03 |
| Aurelius | ebowden : anti-aging effects, supposedly | 18:04 |
| yashgaroth | papers from harvard and some other places have identified it as (one of the, possible) mediators of the "young blood" effect where blood from young mice causes old mice to behave in tests as less aged | 18:04 |
| ebowden | This looks like it suppresses neurogenesis. | 18:05 |

| kanzure | .title | 18:07 |
| yoleaux | Hippocampal neurogenesis and ageing. - PubMed - NCBI | 18:07 |
| ebowden | Unsurprisingly, neurogenesis declines with ageing. | 18:09 |
| ebowden | I do wonder if GDF-11 would make some aspects of ageing, such as the decline in neurogenesis, worse. | 18:12 |
| yashgaroth | oh wow the amazon vendor he suggests buying it from has the 6xHis tag and the thrombin cleavage site sequence still attached to the protein | 18:14 |
| yashgaroth | wait it's just the whole precursor protein, minus half of the actual supposedly functional mature peptide? | 18:17 |
| -!- ebowden [~ebowden@unaffiliated/ebowden] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] | 18:23 | |
| streety | For the GDF-11 thing is he claiming you start with a set amount on reaching adulthood and steadily loose it? No production, vanishingly small degradation/loss? | 18:49 |
| yashgaroth | I don't know what that guy's claiming since he's apparently never been within 50 feet of a biologist, but the argument seems to be that as production and levels of GDF11 decline with age | 18:50 |
| yashgaroth | half-life of GDF-11 in blood is probably on the order of minutes, so you're not starting adulthood with a set amount of it, it's being produced constantly | 18:51 |
| yashgaroth | err, ignore that "as" near the end of my first statement | 18:54 |

| yashgaroth | I mean GDF11 may possibly be functional, but not at the doses and protein quality he's using; seems like he's already wasted a few years of his time on it tbh | 18:57 |
| yashgaroth | I'll see about posting on that thread but it's gonna be a long post and my natural reaction to seeing this kind of shit is to just drink | 18:58 |
| kanzure | well, think of it this way, maybe you write more hilarious emails when drunk :) | 18:59 |
| yashgaroth | either way the longecity thread seems more active, and I have my doubts he'll read the email and go "oh that's a good point, time to close up shop" when I imagine 90% of the people interested in it are getting their info from the forum | 19:00 |
| yashgaroth | especially when the guy has a third-grader's understanding of biology | 19:00 |
| yashgaroth | this is like rob rhinehart going "oh I can disrupt food" and almost kills himself due to forgetting that sulfur is a necessary nutrient, then nerds go out and chug mold-filled bottles of soylent, writ small | 19:01 |

| ebowden | kanzure, if there were ever an anti-ageing formulation it would probably have to target a variety of different pathways. | 19:20 |
