Cellular ennui, or cellular boredom, was a biological phenomenon believed by some to be ultimately responsible for death.

Sticking with French, I thought the process was more along the lines of anomie – i.e., a cellular breakdown.

Pills for travel
Pills for Sleeping
Pills for Eating
Pills for dreaming
Pills for good
Pills for evil
Pills at every hour
Of a thousand, a thousand forms

Pills for the day
Pills for Overnight
Pills for Flying
Being able to touch the sky
Legal and illegal
Expensive and cheap
Black, purple, blue pills
Multicolored

Pills…
Pills…

If you find this song too old skool, I’ve a more modern cover (sort of)

There seems to be a whole lot of “believing in” something there.

The medical evidence has to accumulate over a lot of trials to say whether it works. But I applaud the effort to try a number of things at once.

Actually, it’s worse than that. He’s selling something. He’s literally selling this anti-aging regimen, in the form of 5 day “VIP trips” he’s calling the Platinum Longevity Trip. This is literally a snake oil salesman. This is an ad. Boing Boing’s post may not be an ad, but the linked article is an ad, and that’s all it is. This shit should be labelled as such.

Bill Maher spoke with Ray Kurzweil a few weeks ago, they both do this.

“Why this man takes 75 pills every single day”

OCD.

So why are the 34.5% who don’t believe in it taking what I assume is an expensive drug?

He gave her golden wings
But vicious snakes invade her world
With cigarettes and purple pills
