The Wonder Drug
Metformin is the wonder drug! It prevents aging! You’ll live forever!
If you are interested in Metformin, here is a book called Age Later, written by a doctor who specializes in aging, and who is very excited about Metformin. And here are a few articles: Here’s a study about Metformin as a Tool to Target Aging. Here’s an article in The New York Times suggesting you Think Twice before taking Metformin. Here’s an article by Dave Asprey, the creator of Bulletproof Coffee, about why he stopped taking Metformin. Here’s a study about Metformin and sleep disorders. Here’s an article about whether Metformin affects sexual dysfunction. Here’s an article about how Metformin is not so good for aerobic exercise. And another even more interesting article about Metformin and exercise.
The Other Many Worlds Theory
It’s so easy to depress ourselves by looking at people who have more, do more, travel more, accomplish more than us. But there are many worlds where people have much harder lives than we do. Now, if only we would compare our world to those worlds we might be hugely content.
The Fiction of Free Will
This is the last in the little series about free will. The first post is here, and the second is here.
The cats’ initial comic about free will was posted in 2019. More recently they read an article by Noah Yuval Harari and were inspired to create this comic.
A Little Life
This is the second in a series of posts about free will. The first post is here.
No Heaven or Hell
Do we have free will? Most people like to think we do, but it’s not as clear cut as we’d like to believe. The cats explored this topic back in 2019, and now they explore it again in a series of posts.
The Two Worlds
There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is…. Whoops. The cats are channeling Thornton Wilder. What they meant to say is that there are two worlds: the rational, and the not-so-rational, the latter being where most of us spend most of our time.
The non-rationality of humans is a fascinating subject, one that the cats most recently discussed here, when talking about Feline Philosophy. Another post that talks about rationality is Being Wrong.
Live Longer by Reading Books
Studies show that book readers live longer.
This comic is based on a study about reading and longevity. You can read about the study here. Some of the dialog in the comic comes from the article.
