Nothing you believe in will come to fruition in your lifetime.

There’s no reason to care beyond our lives it’s true but still I do and I don’t want not to so I’m just not going to overthink that one.

Cancer is almost as unbeatable as death itself.

Cell division never going astray is like a perpetual motion machine or a tire that never wears away. It’s not going to happen. Over a long enough timespan every form of cancer is a certainty.

if clinical trials go well

means that what it’s really about is figuring out why it doesn’t work and building from there

I think there will be a few discoveries that'll reshape how we approach extending life somewhere tho, seems to be the trend

Life expectancy can go up another decade or more but the limitations of our lifespan aren’t going anywhere and haven’t gone anywhere.

Yes, I will admit it, I am college educated, which is why Malthusianism doesn't scare me.

As many of you know, I'm in an assisted living facility. COVID-19 is literally overrunning the place, first it was 1 patient, then it was 3, now it's 8. I literally have a patient's quarantined room right next to mine. I've been begging the facility to re-test me (my first test a couple weeks ago was negative) but no luck so far (I'll ask again on Monday). The only good news is I'm symptom-free as of now.

Jesus Christ, Paul! Stay safe and keep us updated! That sounds like an all-around terrrible situation to be in.

You'd be wrong there, but that's more of a discussion about the current status quo of what folks have learned about reversing biological age and where the science is headed right now. AKA, a different thread.
