I think there's a false premise or something here, Occult. You seem to suggest that reading a lot of books, somehow detracts from the pleasure of reading the next one. I haven't really found that to be the case.
I know I was using the pronoun “you” but I was really only speaking for myself.

Neither of my kids were mapped out. But once they started sucking air my purpose in life was pretty ****ing clear. Be the best damn father I could be.

Spent time with them a couple weeks back. They're all getting grey, slow, and creaky. You might want to think about a Plan B.

I only bring this up because within the next ten years you are going to see procedures and products on the market that have some kind of legitimate effect on lifespan. Especially in regards to some the advances being made with CRISPR and over the counter stuff that will eradicate your 'senescent' (AKA zombie) cells, among other things.

CRISPR causes significantly greater DNA damage than previously thought, study finds

I'm more interested in the stuff they're looking at with senescent cells, but yeah CRISPR has a ways to go. Gene-editing is like anything else: the first generation tools are going to be crap compared to what's coming later.

In the interest of greatly postponing the effects of aging?
