Yes, medicine is marketed. Are you for real? Like, is there still amniotic fluid behind your ears? Great Hatching Day fellow creature! Welcome to Earth!

My joke was that tens of millions of dollars to research aging barely covers the test tubes. JFC.

Bud, they don't market for a treatment before there's even research conducted. How the fuck are you acting like you think giant research grants are not effort? Give me ten million dollars if it isn't much then.

Sigh. What kind of absurd logic are you using? Do you not get sarcasm? I'm saying in the scheme of things, ten million dollars is nothing. The fact I don't have ten millions dollars is irrelevant and your type of argument is at the level of an eight year old's.

We spend more than that developing idiotic video games that mean nothing.

"Le Sigh. You are but a juvenile child, and I the calm and logical adult. The arguments I make are simply too complex for such an underdeveloped mind; my explanations would only fall on deaf ears. Even the machinations of my coy wordplay is lost on you, clearly, for you could not even decipher the hidden meaning behind my deceptively foolish appraisal of this society's motivations. My account is of the sheer scale of human productivity, a folley by which your feeble little brain could not even begin to comprehend."

Dude, you're cringe. People have literally been obsessed with medicalizing anti-aging since before the Renaissance. You think we're only just now, in 2026, taking arthritis seriously? C'mon. You said something dumb and you're too much of an internet trilby enthusiast to even take a second and consider what it means that thousands of people are applying for, acquiring, and expending massive amounts of grant funding toward this endeavour and have been doing so for decades.

Not gonna be engaging with this anymore, only made this comment because of how you characterized yourself in this response.
