*TINK TINK TINK* AHEM, Hello gentlemen, Biochad here
Longevity escape velocity (LEV) is a term that describes the day when aging researchers increase the human lifespan by 1 year for every year that passes, thereby granting indefinite lifespans. There are a lot of people like Ray Kurzweil who say this will be reached by 2045, but I believe this is overly optimistic. My genuine prediction is that with the current rate of progress and social dynamics, we will reach LEV in about 100-150 years, rendering us one of the last generations to die of aging. HOWEVER, I do think that if by some sheer luck society genuinely declared a 'war on aging', like if Elon Musk publicized the idea, for example, then we could get that timeframe down to 60-90 years, in time for some of us to unironically make it. With this information, what is our most logical course of action? What is the best way to get this idea to spread as a meme like wildfire across society?
