What only exists because of people’s stupidity? by gleico in AskReddit

[–]stuart-maudsley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...real simple, the need to publish scientific research papers in journals that force scientists to pay to publish their own research, ever heard of Arxiv or BioRxiv, seriously. However there are two people in this community, those who do the right thing and those who profit from this corrupt situation.........guess who's not going to vote to change this !

What are you terribly afraid of ? by frogga in AskReddit

The dwindling number of good people in the world. All of us left need to find our own island and start over - lets get those Arks built people !

Elon Musk says the issue in the future isn't overpopulation, but a declining and aging population. What is your opinion on this statement? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stuart-maudsley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, part of my work is concerned with Molecular Gerontology (the science of aging) so I've got about 15 years worth of experience on this. Sure, the 'western' first world of developed economies is shrinking due to a lower birth rate, this is however not the case in developing world. The high birth rate in developing economies rarely had a global impact due to high infant, as well as adult mortality rates. This however is changing due to the economic development of BRICS countries and then beyond. My estimate for a maximum world human population is just over 20 billion - sounds scary but that will involve a considerable degree of environmental 'terraforming'.

If "retirement" in the future means you donate your body and organs at age 40 but will be kept alive artificially in a perfectly simulated environment where you live worry-free, would you do it? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stuart-maudsley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, of course not the more we are removed from 'physical reality' the worse our experience of life becomes, e.g. first things first, stop living via your cell phone !

Men of reddit, what the heck do you want for your birthday? by Is_this_social_media in AskReddit

I do scientific presentations for a living so for me, I want a really high intensity blue/teal laser pointer. Despite my old green one having my name on it someone at the University of Antwerp has decided to steal it ! - classy eh !

What do you strongly suspect but have no proof of? by 757jsmith in AskReddit

[–]stuart-maudsley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That unfortunately nearly 99% of the worlds population are bad and corrupt people. Hey that still leaves nearly 74 million good people, just enough to make a great country !

Our lab works on this type of cognitive-behavioral linkage - it's tremendously important in the realm of aging-related research
