    It all depends on quality of life in those extra years. Like if aging becomes obsolete, and is reversible, it will change everything. I’m sure that’s what it will pitched as, but if it makes my seventies last decades, no thanks. The monetization of it is what will be interesting. I’m sure it won’t be a one time cost thing. Like if it’s here’s $30k, and now you’re 25 for 50 years, hell yeah. But it will probably be a subscription service, and be some sort of In Time dystopia.

      Humanity is its own worst enemy.

      Juuuuuust smart enough to split the atom, but so bone dead stupid our first impulse is to use it to blow ourselves up.

    This is very cool and interesting, but I can’t help but think about how “everyone” here really means “wealthy people” with the way things are in the US right now
