(If it sounds like I’m talking about you personally, I’m not, but I understand why it might feel that way. This has been a while coming, not just in response to this thread.)
I wasn’t gonna effort because this is c/memes but I did a bit of digging earlier and it is very cool and interesting and it looks like the science is sound.
But I notice a people having strong reactions to this, including bringing out some really cruel self-bullying talk. Don’t talk about my comrade like that. They’re a dope ass hexbear.
Please consider that this is in front of us right now now because the company is doing a media publicity drive so they can raise investment funds so they can conduct the trials that would prove one way or another whether this thing is worth being excited about.
The emotional stimulation is the intent of the advertising.
If the quoted guy really is a professional scientist then he is not behaving ethically or professionally with this sales pitch.
Because he can’t be honest. Right now all they have is an idea and a very good argument with a little bit of evidence that they won’t be wasting their time and potentially putting a lot of animals at risk chasing an obviously unrealistic fantasy. If he spoke plainly about where the drug is at in research and development it would be boring, measured and it would temper your expectations down, none of which raises money.
I’m not saying he’s not a true believer either nor that he might not have good reason to be. That’s all besides the point. However he feels about it he must raise capital.
It’s cool science stuff and hopefully its a good sign that the FDA have approved the trial because in better times at least it meant that the theory had strong enough merit to start experimenting on animals in people’s homes.
I’m not sure we can even infer that much from the FDA’s behaviour in 2026.
My point though is please don’t let these capitalists fuck with you like this and make collateral damage out of you while they spread their manipulative messaging.
You’re a good dog owner and no there isn’t some secret better richer owner that would have done a better job if you hadn’t gotten in the way. There isn’t. You are the one who stepped up. Better to avoid comparing yourself to the theoretical millionaire version of you. I’m not 100% sure but even that sounds like something porky would want you to believe about yourself.
