Why aren't you serious about Longevity?

I am. I’m dead serious that I want to rejuvenate my brain and achieve true life extension, reversing aging throughout my body. Even Immortality. Maybe this group is mainly for hobbyists who mercifully pray for just a few extra years with meticulous diet, reading lots of articles, and ingestion of drugs that suggest some benefit to insulin regulation. I feel like I’m a spiked boots hardcore metal headbanger among a plaid sweater wearing Simon & Garfunkel crowd or something. Honestly would like to know why you guys aren’t as dedicated to this. Maybe it’s because I’m single, I don’t know, but I do know you guys are soft.

Why do you think people here are not serious about longevity? You say people just read papers. Maybe because you don’t read, or at least I have not seen you discuss extensively the various longevity papers, you have less of a grasp about what is a realistic and achievable goal within the foreseeable future. That might be the reason why achievable goals strike you as not serious. Feel free to chart out a path to more “serious” longevity interventions and you’ll find most here very interested. We have not found much that’s actually achievable beyond the drug interventions you reference as inadequate (and most here fully agree), but it’s not for lack of trying or lack of ambition or motivation. If you have concrete suggestions for how we could do better in the current realities, I for one would be very interested to hear it. Be the change you want to see. The ball is in your court. Lead the way!
