I can eat fast food.

I can eat all the junk food out there, but I can't try a new longevity drug.

The companies are forbidden from allowing me to do that.

So like in many ways, I dislike, they give me the freedom to kill myself

but I don't have the right to experiment on myself.

And I wish I had more experiential power that I could do that.

I mean, there's a whole bunch of, there's like probably a dozen.

Yeah.

And like the thing I want to do is I want to accept the responsibility of determining if it's safe or not.

Now, if I mess up, it's on me.

Like I'll take that responsibility, but I don't want them to say like only after, because then it creates this gigantic, it makes sense.

Companies go through like a structured process

and they say, it's gone through this process, we give it a stamp of approval.

It's like, it's a good idea, like on large scale vaccines, like you don't want to ship a shitty vaccine to society.

Totally get it.

Also, right, on like a N equals one, like me scale, I want to do things without their limiting my ability to do it.

So it's a really tricky balance because there needs to be some structure in place

where as a member of the society, I can say, I trust some entity to ensure what I'm doing is safe because we're saying the company itself can't be trusted, right?

Like there needs to be like some- Right, some middleman.

Yeah, like that's the idea.
