Strange that at the same time there’s all this talk of at least doubling average lifespan, there’s MAID and other self-murder programs with advertising budgets. And still no sense of what it actually means to live well.
Quite possible but the first step from birth is to stay away from the modern stone age medical mafia poisoning machine. Poisons and toxins will shorten life, not prolong it. That means ALL vaccines and drugs must be avoided.
I & husband (81 & 88yo) had only the comparative scant vaccinations given to children in period late 1930s-early 1950s. We've never had a flu shot - nor had "The Flu" - & we did NOT accept any of the COVID injections - NO COVID either!
If it's scientifically achieved, it will only be available for the top elite class and that's exactly what we've been seeing for so long now. This elite class that's been tyrannical to the majority, killing people with taxes, inflation, big pharma drugs, toxins in the environment everywhere. The health of the majority it terribly worse than our grandparents and great grandparents generations. There a huge spike in cancer among children and young adults. Everyone these days has a autoimmune system disease or disorder, which means extremely high inflammation. Living to nearly 200 means AI will find cures for all these health issues. The elite class will never allow the majority to be able to afford the "cure." They want the majority dead because they are Godless people who want to make themselves gods and have the entire world as their own private paradise. And they will destroy the planet in the process.
It hits incredibly close to home for how I handle my own money.
I run my portfolio on a dual mandate based on one core truth:
global markets are powered by humanity's infinite, unstoppable drive to create and build the future. I look at my capital as an ongoing entrepreneurial venture.
I trust that human ingenuity will always print new highs sooner or later, forever.
To make this work for me practically, I layer an income strategy on top to fund my life today, while letting the core capital ride on the infinite timeline of the human race.
Your article perfectly captures what happens when you supercharge that strategy.
If we stop throwing away a massive chunk of human capital to early death, the compounding engine of human progress goes vertical.
Since I never have to sell my core assets anyway, a 200-year lifespan turns a portfolio into the ultimate generational bridge—letting us live off the income today, while passing a hyper-compounded machine intact to our kids.
It makes you wonder:
how do you think our financial systems will actually adapt when the whole concept of a traditional 'retirement age' and standard 30-year horizons completely vanish?
Cancers of all types are still taking a lot of lives today. Still seems a long way off for a true solution by medical, only mitigating strategies with surgery, chemo, and radiation. A lot of lives shortened by this and we still don't seem to have any idea why so much and what things are causing it so to attack the root causes.
Permit me to put this in real world terms everyone can understand clearly, accepting the achievable premise of living to 194 years of age.
You will be taxed unforgivingly for a minimum of 178 years, by governments of amoral kleptocrats that view you as disposable cattle as they rob you blind every day and use every cent of the money against you which they expropriate from you under threat of prison.
Gee... 178 years of total enslavement to a vile gang of evil and completely corrupt people.
Where do I sign up for this fantastic existence? Wow! Sounds great!
There is a solution though to 178 years of misery, death through jabs / war / pestilence and other corrupt lab derived bs. That would be the complete destruction of the evil and rebuild with rational and moral governance. Then I dare say, a veritable 'garden of eden' would await those with such life expectancy.
Otherwise, given the current mob of sociopathic scumbags we normal people have to deal with, I don't much see the point in living that long. OH WAIT !! PERHAPS THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT HAVING KIDS ANYMORE TO ANY MEANINGFUL EXTENT.
Ok, reality break over and now back to your regular programming of bunnies and candies the bureaucrats tell you is your existence.
I & husband (81 & 88yo) have been serious practitioners of Healthy Longevity measures for 27 & 40+ yrs, respectively. Among other things, my husband monitors Longevity research for new advancements on a regular basis - that & his daily Market activities go a very long way to maintaining his excellent cognitive status. I found the portion of Diamondis' podcast on Longevity w/ Musk to be interesting. (It actually runs from ~ 50:00 to ~1:01:00; the listed chapter time is not accurate.) Our Longevity measures have included quarterly lab biomarkers which go on separate spreadsheets we've maintained for 20+yrs; but we've not had our genomes done....
Good to hear that you and Paul are still doing well, are you both still with alcor? Oh and I noticed that you abandon your gab account.. you prefer substack?
Unless I'm missing something your math seems to be wrong:
In rich countries today 1% of people die per year, falling to 0.7% in poor countries since they’re young. So population growth would essentially double in rich countries — 0.9% to 1.9% — but only go up a third in poor countries, from 3.4% to 4.1%.
But beyond that we've been so economically screwed, over the past 100 years -- beginning with the establishment of the Federal Reserve (1913) -- that many run out of money by 85-90. Pensions - part of the 3 legged stool of retirement - are becoming as rare as the Dodo Bird. So who is going to pay for these elderly for their last hundred years. I'm certainly not for euthanasia programs -- like MAID in Canada -- but what cannot be sustained, will not be sustained. A true evaluation, of the effects of a longer lifespan, would be far more complex than what you have presented.

I highly recommend the teaching of the Golden Rule in all of our Public Schools. I think the impact would be both positive and transformative.
Teaching the Golden Rule should be part of every school curriculum

Tyrants living forever, that would be great.

As George Carlin said; “Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die”.
I suppose everyone here can say; so far so good. I would be bored to death even if I could manage it.
"Unless government gets in the way".
