This is the third thread where a variant of my post is presented, I thought this issue (and my eloquent writing) was so important as to deserve its own thread
My orginal stance on separating health forum from ImmInst to its own entity was based on the notion that people are here first and foremost to advance immortality. The health aspects of it have IMO been receiving way too much attention given their overall neglible relevance in that quest, even on an individual level. However, after giving it some thought, I do recognize the possibility that many people come here first and foremost due to the health discussions, and hopefully gradually move on to become involved in, hmmm, more serious life extension stuff (that might actually be useful, personal opinion only). So actually I do not feel comfortable separating health section from ImmInst (I could maybe do away with the noots section, but I am not sure wheter it is wise to separate it individually), and even I find it occasionally very useful.
However, given limited resources, I would definitely focus on other aspects than developing health section. In fact I would like to see more active stance from leadership towards the stating where current advancement of health stands in the overall picture of achieving immortality. I think LifeMirages worst legacy was distorting that picture, through giving people false sense of control and hope through his indiscriminate presentation (like saying stuff like "I could win the MPrize now if I wanted with the knowledge I have", what a crook!). That has lead to wastage of valuable individual resources desperately needed in the fight againts involuntary death in a pressing competition againts limited time. By taking a stance on this, it would not only lead to more efficient use of resources and faster delivery of the promise we are about, it would actually probably concomitantely raise the quality of the discussion on the health forums, now being dominated by the biased propaganda of the supplement and nootropics companies
