Makes me wonder what salt decays into, and more importantly, how would that translate to various forms of potato.

Mmmmm. Primordial pomme frites

You're probably right but given the fact that roentgens are measured in millirems, it's not something to make a habit of.

My house hovers around 3-4 picocuries per liter of radon. That is literally the boundary between remediate and 'ah, fuck it.'

I fall into the 'fuck it' category because very low doses of radon I believe are helpful. That's why they used to send people to radon caves to bask in warm gentle rays. Seriously. I forget what the mechanism is though. I think very low doses tend to have more of an effect on senescent cells. If so, that's what you want. Once they get their crusty old ass out of the way, your stem cells kick in an repopulate. On a cellular, it's not dissimilar to being "reborn."

You get low doses just walking around in granite rich regions don't you? That's enough for me up in New England, where we always have to worry about it in our basements.

It's the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, so hard pass on that basking for me.

We need the science hippies to crack the secret of the Immortal jellyfish, turritopsis dohrnii. Smear AI all over the place, isolate some genes, make them available for human use.

Feeling old? Just be younger. Debilitating disease catching up to you? Just be younger. Regret that ink or sports injury? Just be younger!



Heh. Kill a man in self-defense? Be younger! On the run from the mob? Be younger!

Yeah I know, but I'm a dreamer. We live in a world where simple algae figured out how to oxidize the atmosphere with dimethylsulphide, causing cloud condensation nuclei to form. When it comes to medical breakthroughs and achievements by humans with AI, I refuse to rule anything out preemptively.

I think it's fine to want to extend your life. Most of us would like more time to be the people we became. Making it to a hundred and looking/moving/acting more like you're 60 would be pretty fuckin cool I think.

This is NOT intended to be personal. It's just a teaching example.

I'm not completely sure why this is, but we tend to create dichotomies where there are none.

I wholly agree that if we're just establishing some rules of thumb, the sure, exercise the utmost caution.

But in situations where it could go either way (remember, the dose makes the poison) and you have at least some data to bolster your position, it really comes down to a matter of individual preference,
