its because the people who would do something like this have such comfortable conflict free lives that they really might burn out on dopamine without having to do hard drugs for too long like a poor, so they have to simulate having a normal day or else suffer literal brain damage

That dopamine fasting thing can't possibly be in earnest. The human experience is impossibly vast but like... this is even less comprehensible than our moneyed elite having a literal rape temple stocked with their choice of middle school girls.  WAIT IT'S THE NEW YORK TIMES WHAT

like the dumb gimmick restaurant idea I had is putting a 3-star restaurant at the top of a ridiculous hike, on the grounds that food always tastes better after you've had to do a lot of exercise, and this is like the stupidest possible extrapolation of that in every possible way

They used to serve exclusively deep-fried food and their original recipes are among the best I've ever tasted.

Then I got old enough to pay attention to the world, and started nodding along sagely. Now I'm back to step one, except my confusion is about why they're not just wiping out their own species for kicks like our rich are trying to do?

Inceltown posted:These rich tech bro's should be given every opportunity to know what life is like without being able to ever feel happy. This choice was presumably made based on a paper from early this year that found that babies who were gene sequenced had better first year survival. Which is almost certainly an artifact of the fact that rich people could afford it.

The only condition under which I, an adult capable of consent, would have my genome sequenced would be if it were analysed for inheritable diseases and then promptly deleted.

Inherited diseases are towards the bottom of actual medical uses of individual genome sequencing. Nowadays we use it to check if certain classes of drugs will work on you and what side effects are expected, determining the particular kind of cancer you've got and expected immune responses. In fact, for most genetically influenced diseases that don't fit the single gene model, the risk assessment is non-scientific enough to be totally useless for legitimate medical work.

I'll have to look it up again, because it's been a while since I read it, but I think only in a secondary analysis to prove there was still any effect at all, but unconcerned with how much of the effect size disappeared and the primary conclusion was built off the simple correlation

A Russian troll farm posted:these aren't people. that isn't something a person does. bored rich kids seeking variety in their lives the people who invented it came up with it because when their startup started to reach the point where they actually had to do stuff besides messing around for fun, they got stressed out and decided to try "fasting" from work. from there, they tried extending the concept quote:The three of them graduated recently from the Rochester Institute of Technology, where they met and started working together. Their start-up was going through evolutions every few months. It began as a coffee extraction company that turned into a cannabinoid extraction company (much more profitable) that turned into a cannabinoid synthesis for sleep aid that turned into, now, sleep coaching.

tbh i would really love a comprehensive birth-register full genomic sweep of an entire national population over time, to do cool research on. inevitably, it'd end up getting used for incredibly evil poo poo, but that is all knowledge under capitalism so ymmv

would probably be just as good using mice or something though, but then you couldn't use existing medical infrastructure so i guess we have to expropriate everyone's most intimate information, no two ways around it
