Academia has institutionalized infantilization. PhD students in their mid 20s are treated as kids. Researchers in their mid 30s are junior and need approval from seniors. It’s keeping adults in intellectual adolescence, and independence is delayed until they are obedient.

Let’s go from normal aging, to slower aging, to no aging, to reverse aging.

Even if we cure all diseases, true aging would still kill is. Aging is the endboss.

There are ~640 000 hours in the average life. Time⌛️ There are many dollar millionaires, but there almost no hour millionaires - which would mean living to 114 years. Let’s change that. ⏳

If you were 100 in 1850 you would most likely die within ~2 years. If you turn 100 in 2025 you would most likely die within ~2 years. We really haven’t made progress in the last 175 years when it comes to pushing the boundaries of life extension, especially as old age.

Many #Longevity Researchers seem still unaware of the amount of #crypto wealth has flown into the #aging ecosystem in 2021/22. So here’s a list of the projects that would not exist without donations made by generous crypto-philanthropists. 1/12

China being optimistic about Longevity and extending lifespan is a fantastic thing. Would be great to see more scientists in the west talk about the real possibility of 120-150 years lifespans. It’s where current Gerophysics models converge to.

Delusional thinking about healthspan and longevity, now from China "In 5 to 10 years nobody will get cancer." "Living to 150 is definitely realistic. In a few years this will be the reality." @ATHigginsNYT w/ @prof_horvath @gladyshev_lab nytimes.com/2025/11/08/wor…

He’s probably right. But the timeframe for this is 20-50 years and not 5-10 years.
