Aging is about to be cured. Not in the next few decades. In the 2030s. I predict that the cure for aging will be found by 2035, possibly sooner. I write (and build) around longevity, the cure for aging, and how we all can live longer, healthier lives. Aging will potentially be cured within the next decade, and your only job is to still be here when it happens.

An “old” calendar age will become the advantage in a post-aging society. The older you are, the more experienced and (hopefully) the more wisdom.

Your biological age is reducible. You can technically get younger as your calendar age gets “older”

Longevity habits isn’t only your sauna, supplements, red light therapy etc. What’s also included is your basics: Sleep, rest, exercise, diet. Yes, you can participate in more advanced longevity habits. But don’t forget to get your basics in check.

The next evolution of humanity is a human race that has death as entirely optional.

your brain doesn't age because of time. It ages because of repetition. the more predictable your days become, the faster your neurons quiet down. your brain builds neural pathways based on experience. new experiences create new connections. repetition strengthens old ones. but when you repeat the same patterns for years, your brain stops building. that's why time feels faster as you age. your brain stops encoding new memories. it just references old ones. a year at 40 feels shorter than a year at 10, because at 10, everything was new. at 40, everything is familiar. but neuroplasticity doesn't stop. you can still grow new neurons. you can still learn. you can still change. you just have to break the loop. your brain will wake up. and time will slow down again.

”once you turn any age, it becomes possible to do anything” will be the mindset shift a few decades after the cure for aging. People will view age not as a impediment, but as an advantage.
once you turn 30, it becomes almost impossible to get into YC

The goal is to live however long one desires in a youthful biological state.

Ask most people when aging gets cured and you will get the same answer: never. But I am putting a date on it: 2035, possibly sooner. If I'm right, the biggest risk to you isn't the science. It's not making it there. So protect your health like the deadline is real.

Death being optional is the goal
SITUATION DETECTED: OpenAI President Greg Brockman says he thinks AI will make “significant strides” in biology, health, and curing diseases over the next 12–18 months, and that “death becoming a choice” could become possible.

It’s not a certain scientific statement. More so a probabilistic statement.
This is a hype-and-vibe statement, not a scientific statement!

You are not going to die. If you are a healthy person under ~50, you are probably not going to have to experience death. Play your cards right: Stay alive and healthy for the next few decades and keep your health in check. And you will have the opportunity to decline death.

Extending your healthspan buys you time spent healthy. Extending your lifespan buys you more time alive. Both matter. Invest in both.

Solving aging will give everyone that wants to indefinite time to experience all that life has to offer and to work on countless of projects that they want to work on and accomplish. This is one of my personal reasons for going after longevity and the cure for aging first before everything else.

Go after the root cause, not the byproduct
Cure cancer completely and average lifespan goes up about 3 years. Three. Not because cancer is not brutal. It is because something else is already waiting behind it. That is the part most people miss. The diseases show up late. *Aging* is the process running underneath all of them. Go after the hallmarks of aging and you are not preventing one disease. You are delaying the whole queue. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…

Getting enough sleep on a regular basis and schedule, eating clean, and exercising regularly. Those are the doorways to LEV and to living long enough for humanity to defeat aging.
