> The results revealed that Jonathan has “unique gene variants in most aging pathways” including DNA repair, insulin regulation, mitochondrial function, and “low entropy” methylation, reports the study.
min-maxing longevity vs speed and charisma
I dunno, I think he's pretty charismatic. He has all these researchers wanting to spend time with him.
In the Leftovers people think living in Jarden is why they were left. Maybe St Helena is the new Jarden.
he's so old, he's completely lost the hare /j
> the samples were delivered from Saint Helena to Florida by the U.S. Space Force.
...why space force?
It's a remote area and USSF has operations in nearby Ascension Island.
Interesting so the oldest land animal hasn’t cracked 200 but stuff that lives in the sea can go for five or 600 years or more.
There's sharks out there that are much older than the United States.
And sponges older than pyramids.
He doesn't look a day over 90!
Can't we just appreciate that exceptionality as it is?
Somehow, I wish we would leave that creature alone. For once.
