Why HN links it
HN readers link these posts for their essays on longevity and the science of aging, such as the vampire-themed piece 'Why Vampires Live Forever', which cites longevity experts. Comments only quote or question details, with no judgement of the writing.

HN discussionCompletely OT: In the link “what the longevity experts don’t tell you”[1] I found this: “As a devout Baptist, he couldn’t use playing cards…” And I’m wondering if I missed something in my Baptist upbringing. I have long since removed myself from any semblance of the Church and manage my own relationship with faith and any related higher beings, so it’s more a curiosity than pertinent. 1 - https://machielreyneke.com/…
