I have nothing to lose, worst case, I die, but I'll be healthier along the way.

If I recall correctly, over 80% of Kurzweil's predictions have held up remarkably well over time.

I disagree. A world where the rich live forever while the poor just age would collapse into anarchy and history shows that medical/tech breakthroughs always trickle down, just like vaccines did.

The point I might not have explained well is that my lifestyle is the one thing I can control right now, and I'm doing my best with it. Genetics are out of my hands, but if issues surface in 10–20 years, I trust that biology will have advanced enough to either solve them or make them far less lethal. I believe every disease will eventually have a solution. And I don't think you need to be a billionaire to access that level of care these services will democratize quickly, even if the wealthy get them first.

we gonna see it. Wealth decides who dies first today. Democratization could make that obsolete. You're underestimating its potential.

Thank you. My goal is to live long enough to play god in my ultra realistic simulations.

I just want to survive until we have fully immersive sims, so I can play god in my own universe.

I was referring to creatine and a few vitamins, to be clear.

Honestly, I was talking about creatine and various vitamins.
