Wanna see AGI, MARS, VR (whatever gets you hard) happen in your miserably short ~80 year average lifespan? Well, here we discuss therapies on the horizon which can slow and reverse aging. Jeff Bezos recently invested $1B in Altos Labs. There are rumors that some Saudi billionaires are going to be contributing $20B soon.
Is it feasible?
>Epigenetic Reprogramming already reverses aging in mice organs. Senolytics extend average lifespan by 36% in mice.
For Noobs:
>There are about 8/9 reasons (depending on who you ask) why we age: DNA Damage (Cancer), Epigenetic Dysregulation, Mitochondria Mutations, Senescent Cell Accumulation, Damaged proteins/macromolecule aggregates, Stiffening of extracellular matrix, Loss of cells & lack of fresh stem cells, fucked up cell-cell communication, Telomeres (maybe)
Advanced Textbooks:
>Lithgow - Molecular & Cellular Biology of Aging 2017
>Encyclopedia of Biomedical Gerontology
Baby-tier noob books:
>Ending Aging by Aubrey de Grey (2008)
>Lifespan by David Sinclair (2019)
Common Objections:
>"Overpopulation!"
This would actually help overpopulation. Fixing the age related demographic crisis would be beneficial for the environment: The economic value of targeting aging by scott et al
>"B-but entropy!"
The human body is an open system, and can therefore export the entropy, tard.
>"Only the rich would get it!"
Nope. Fixing the age related demographics of a country is in the economic best interest of that country. Plus, this shit WILL get cured anyways in the future, it's a matter of whether YOUR ASS is gonna make it or not.
>"Boredom!"
Fix your lifestyle habits lil man
