I am currently living in Okinawa Japan. Part of the reason I think people live so long here is life is slowed down. Everyone walks places and the food is so fresh.

[@jursamaj]

The problem with the "blue zones" is the same problem as Arizona. Back in the 1950s to 70s, lots of people with environmental allergies had doctors recommend they move to Arizona, due to fewer allergens. They did… and brought along the problem, by planting lots of trees and flowers to make the place look nice… thus increasing the allergens. If people move to "blue zones", they'll bring along their unhealthy lifestyles, thus defeating the point.

[@Darisiabgal7573]

Antarctica, no risk of planting flowers.

[@noellelavenza494]

Not even. A lot of the longevity benefits of blue zones is due to statistical errors and poor historical recordkeeping, where people record rough age estimates and tend to round up too much.

[@kellywalker1664]

Welp, the water shortage oughta fix that part.

[@BrianS1981]

There really isn't any evidence that the "blue zones" actually exist. For example most of Okinawa's records (including things like birth certs) were destroyed during World War 2 so there was no real way to verify the claims of those who said they were very old. Once the cohort of people who could pass off as being born substantially before WW2 died off, the life expectancy of Okinawans plummeted.

[@noellelavenza494]

Fun fact: monitoring nocturnal erections is one of the ways in which doctors can tell whether erectile dysfunction is physical or psychological. If the person is planting trees in their pants at night but can't stand at attention on date night the problem might be caused by anxiety or fatigue. But if they're just flopping around all night long there could be an underlying physical cause. This is only tangentially relevant to the video, but I think it's interesting.

New Emma Thorne just dropped! Now I can take a break from the depressing world of true crime and listen to something fun for a while. 😆❤

[@anarchords1905]

Emma, I, myself, intend to live to at least 180yrs old by completely avoiding any situation which might, in any way, be considered interesting, thought provoking, or fun. I shall keep you updated on my progress by pigeon. Thank you.

Tech bros hate the Grim Reaper cause he's so egalitarian. It's impossible to become immortal the moment you're conceived because one's genome can't be rewritten anything beyond a blastocyst. Only babies conceived artificially can there be some designer kids with significantly longer lifespans. Technology is usually agnostic and usually very helpful, but billionaire immortality is seriously dystopian. They're John Galty mindset of maybe they could cheat death or disease, or create utopia, but would deliberately make it artificially scarce. Men at the top kinda filter out to be sociopathic and would need to engineer a very unfair world.

26:55 I get a similar feeling and now I wonder if there are studies on where the "too rich to see other people as human beings" line is ...

[@bobunyun]

The idea of the super rich living forever is genuinely horrific. Imagine the ten richest people alive today living forever, hoarding more and more wealth and resources, taking more and more from everyone else. Forever. As of 2020, those ten richest men possess more wealth than the bottom 3.1 billion people in the world combined.

Millionaires were super rich back when touch tone phones were a new thing. In 10 years they'll be middle class (if thats still a thing by then).

[@toniprekker3656]

Many people who are millionaires (just a couple million, not tens or hundreds), are very much middle class. MAKING a million a year and HAVING a million are very different things. Making a million is rich, having a million is just having planned for retirement in the US.

[@user-gl5dq2dg1j]

@@toniprekker3656 Exactly, if you have a few million sitting idle, you are likely putting that money to work for you, not having to work for it.

Many Japanese seniors depend on the money from their monthly"social security" checks for survival. Losing this money can be devastating for a family, often seniors themselves. Because of this, it's not uncommon for someone's family to conceal their relative's death for *decades* not to lose the needed income.

[@danilooliveira6580]

I think Emma hit the nail when she mentioned "trends". if you want to do buccal fat removal to have a more "streamlined" face, that is fine I guess. but when you are doing it because all your peers are doing it and you need to fit in, or because you want to look like your idols to feel you have the same worth as them. that is when it starts becoming unhealthy. the problem is that the beauty industry trives on that, on showing how if you don't fit you are nothing, so you need to spend your hard earned money to fit.

A few years ago I saw a 'Horizon' programme (iirc) on ageing, and one of the researchers said that he believed that the first person to live for a thousand years is alive now!

[@quinn0517]

Wait...he thinks a younger person's plasma has to do with the speed of aging process... So he "swaps" it from HIS SON. The incredible selfishness. We struggled to get a doctor to order Vit D blood test bc they knew insurance won't usually cover it despite a *severe* deficiency. Took 4 years to get a sleep test to diagnose my narcolepsy... I SWEAR TO GRAVITY THESE PEOPLE ARE DREADFUL. Absolutely f-ing awful.

[@user-gl5dq2dg1j]

I will have to remember the Swear to Gravity. We need some new oaths for new times. And to have a child to farm for replacement parts is incredibly narcissistic.

To quote a classic lyrical line from the group QUEEN, from the 1986 film THE HIGHLANDER, goes to the forever question of, “WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?…”

To be clear, "millionaire" does not mean "ultra-rich." In many places it means something closer to "someone who's paid off their mortgage."

[@fepeerreview3150]

I'm with Emma when it comes to eating the rich, so long as the meat isn't too fatty. That said, whatever their personal reasons might be for their actions, it's very possible that some useful medical information, useful to the rest of us, could emerge from their efforts. So in a sense they are subsidizing medical research from which we could all potentially benefit. Personally, I suspect they could do a lot more to benefit society if they put that money to more directly positive use. But we have no effective mechanisms for forcing them to do so.

[@lazykbys]

Okinawa is an island far southward (26N) from mainland Japan. They tend to have a laid-back attitude toward life, at least compared to most Japanese. When the rest of us Japanese learned about their comparative longevity, the media's response was "By golly, it must be the food!" I mean, Okinawan food does have its benefits, but I'm guessing it's the warm climate and lower stress levels that do most of the heavy lifting.

[@user-gl5dq2dg1j]

Far south? It was within single engine aircraft of Kyushu, maybe on a one way trip. It is say the distance between Washington DC and Atlanta Georgia.

[@lazykbys]

@@user-gl5dq2dg1jIs it? I stand corrected. It seems farther, though. EDIT: After a bit of googling, I found that Japan spreads from about 45N to 31N. Okinawa is 26N, which is about a third of the length more to the south. To a native Japanese who generally defaults to his country as the standard, that's pretty far south - even if it's not much by global standards.

This is one of those occasions where I agree with you. I don't understand the point of living forever. It's a strange fascination that stems from the fear of death. I love this video.

[@sheeplessinohio]

31:02 I'm sorry, I know this was an editing slip-up, but I pretended you were a ventriloquist there for a sec while one of your puppets was off-screen speaking these words. 😅 Anyway, I'm glad you covered this topic! It really is so bizarre what the ultra-rich do with their money once they've, I don't know, become bored with exploiting workers and evading taxes. There really is something incredibly creepy about the idea of swapping blood with anyone outside of an absolutely necessary, medical purpose. That picture of him shirtless with his son while they're both holding vials of "blood" really peaks the creepiness to max level.
