After reading turchin's post on my phone last night, I was going to make this same point when I got to my PC this morning.
While turchin calls this "incredibly interesting", it seems pretty uninteresting to me. The very least of reasons being that the average life duration difference between twins being six years can easily mean vast swaths of twins die at the same age difference Rita Montalchni did.
Very small group of people remain productive scientists after age 100.
And almost no one invented life extension method, used it on herself and lived until 100.
Of course it still could be fluctuation, and I put this not as a statistical evidence but as as an example of the approach. Unfortunately, NGF as well as other promising life extension drugs which were known for many years remain unstudied.
For example, metphormin is known for more than 40 years and it was known for long tome that it extends life on mice, but only in 2015 FDA gave permission to try it as antiaging medication on humans.
NGF was not available for other people until 2015 also, now some people on Longecity ordered it in China.
So, it is not only my problem that I managed to find so small evidence for my points. It is the problem of all humanity that so much needed research was not made and millions life were not saved.
