What frustrates me is that it’s not 100% insane, just 95%. There are Silicon Valley CEOs and others that regularly get transfusions of blood from younger, healthier people as a means of improving their own health. The New Yorker wrote about this and some other crazy life extension stuff happening in the Silicon Valley in 2017.
So no tortured babies or adrenochrome, but we do quite literally have people taking blood from the young in an attempt to extend their own lives.
You didn’t specifically account for the edge case I personally identify with, which means you’re just the absolute worst!
I only skim read your comment and missed the context, so now I’m going to attack a strawman you didn’t say!
