It is perfectly reasonable to think that the next decade will bring advancements that add many years to our lifespans.
Thanks you for the informative post, I just hope all these will help us to boost our lifespan, but come to think of it, during regular exercise like jugging for instance will take a longer time to burn out those fat, it is better to do sprinting as this has been proven to help burn fat much more faster than any other exercises.
Or possibly pills to increase our lifespan, as written about by John Wyndham?
"If we are going to intentionally be able to alter our lifespans, we certainly have a responsibility to secure our resources," Bar Yam says.
Known as the "proportional theory", this idea posits that as we age, our sense of "present" time begins to feel relatively short in comparison to our entire lifespan.
Thus, the absence of severe neurodegenerative processes in chimpanzees can hardly be considered a dogma and rather than the often claimed trade-off between human specific neurological adaptations, or the even more unlikely human-specific relaxation of selective pressures in neurological function, neurodegeneration might have been reported only in humans due to our extended lifespan.
It has allowed us to nearly double our lifespan during the past century, to increase our global abundance, and to deepen our understanding of the nature of the universe.
"If evolution is determining the lifespan that we have, then we can choose to change that, by intervening in the mechanism that is being used to control our lifespans," Bar-Yam said.
Most of us feel an obligation to maximize our lifespans.
That's because, just as antibiotics, sterilization, and vaccines ushered in a new age of health and longevity, now new technologies including robotics, AI, and data will continue to extend our lifespans.
