Meanwhile retirement funding is smaller and smaller. Imagine being retired longer than not

I think the term is deathist, people believing that death is inevitable so they come up with lots of clever schemes to justify not wanting to live longer.

Ageing is just the body wearing down over time, with regular maintenance we can be healthy for however long we like to. Or until that proverbial piano drops on us.

I think it's fantastic, ageing is the biggest risk in Alzheimer's, in Cancer, in Dementia, Cardiovascular and lots of others... and who doesn't want to have a youthful healthy body?

Check out sens.org if you're interested in where science is today and what should be done tomorrow, but the first real treatments are probably around the corner already (like senolytics) so it's quite exciting too IMO!

So you're saying to dine on billionaires before that happens? 😏

I gave up on it when it turned out one of the figureheads of anti-aging researched ended up being a huge creep and everyone involved rushed to defend them. 💀 It's like, nah if these are the kinds of people who are going to be prevalent in a post-death world, i'd rather die.

That's not even accounting for those doing eugenics pseudoscience injecting baby penises into their faces thinking it will make them live forever. No thank you. It's a good thing that shit has a zero% chance of working and has a not-zero% chance of doing the opposite.

Imaginable as possible? Ok, maybe.

Imaginable as tolerable? Please God no.

Must be nice to be rich.
