Reversing aging is the single most important problem for humanity. Sound money is only the second most important problem.
Saw some BS argument against scientific efforts to reverse aging, that "death gives meaning to life". Fuck no. Death does not give meaning to life. Life gives meaning to life.
The most important consequence of longer healthier life for humanity is that it enables truly long term (100+ years) thinking. And that in turn enables us to solve truly important problems (eg, going interplanetary, climate change) because these require truly long-term thinking.
The risk of overpopulation is an argument I can't get behind. Suppose the initial condition is that humans live 300 years and become overpopulated. The ideal solution to that would *not* be to reduce lifespan, but to solve the energy/food problems, going interplanetary, etc.
It’s crazy that people think it’s OK to stay healthy but not OK to reverse aging. A longer life is a direct consequence of a healthier life.
