Deep Dive Into Jane Lee

If scientists can measure biological ageing at the cellular level (such as through telomeres), how might this change the way people think about “age” in the future? Could the concept of age become more biological than chronological—and what ethical or social challenges might that create?

I think this could drastically change how we view our age. Already in South Korea, we start by counting 1 in our mothers belly. So I feel as though this new discovery might also create that. 

But on the other hand, I feel as though it might not be viewed as a “age” at all.
 Because, we also do have to think about the ethics of life. Can we really say a thing starting from a cellular thin gas a child? Can we really use it to start counting ages? Would that then distort how we view our growth journey, medicinal and medical practices, and so on? 

I read in a book that ethics are very important when it comes to science. It is the root of all science, because we need ethics to decide what we are going to do. What is right, and what is wrong. Because without it, we can grow an imbalanced world, full of errors and wrongdoings that might eventually, screw us over. 

The study found that multivitamins had the strongest “corrective effect” on people whose biological clocks were already running faster than their actual age. If you could design a “Mental Multivitamin”—a small, daily habit that prevents your “mental energy” from aging or burning out too quickly—what specific ingredients (actions) would it contain? Also, do you think it’s more effective to use these “supplements” to fix a problem after it starts, or to maintain an already healthy balance?

 I think it’s more effective to maintain an already healthy balance. It’s hard to fix burnout once it has already taken hold, because by that point your motivation, focus, and even emotional energy are already drained. Prevention is quieter, but much more powerful—it keeps you from reaching that breaking point in the first place.

If I were to design a “Mental Multivitamin,” it would be made up of small, consistent habits that support different parts of your mind, just like real vitamins support different parts of your body.

First, I’d include a “focus” ingredient—something like taking 5–10 minutes each day to step away from screens or work and just breathe, stretch, or sit quietly. This helps prevent mental overload before it builds up.

Second, a “curiosity boost”—doing something small that interests you, like reading about a topic you enjoy (for me, maybe something related to marine biology or ocean ecosystems). This keeps your mind active in a positive way, instead of only associating thinking with stress.

Third, a “reflection moment”—spending a few minutes thinking about your day, what went well, or what you learned. This helps you process emotions instead of letting them pile up.

Finally, a “rest anchor”—making sure you have consistent sleep or at least a fixed time where your brain knows it can shut down and recover.

All of these are small on their own, but together they act like a system that keeps your “mental clock” from speeding up too fast.

So overall, I think mental “supplements” are most effective when used daily to maintain balance, not just when something goes wrong. It’s like taking care of the ocean—if you only try to fix it after damage happens, it’s much harder than protecting it steadily over time.
