...here's an interesting but
preliminary scientific finding some
researchers were testing a drug that
they hoped would regenerate the thymus
gland so they're testing this new drug
and they accidentally discovered ... it reversed
people's epigenetic clock ...it means that out of cellular level you
got younger it actually reversed your
age it didn't just slow it down it
actually reversed it two and a half
years younger on average and it was
persistent they stayed that way I mean
until they naturally aged but now it was
a small group I think it was nine people
and they'd have to do a lot more testing
to find out how real that is but imagine
the change to society what would happen
to society if you stopped aging ... where in
your eighty year projections do you have
the assumption that people become
immortal because I've got a feel that
immortality would really have an effect
on oh say everything what happens if
you're immortal and robots are doing all
the work
well what happens if you're immortal and
we get fusion energy working in 80 years
there's a chance you know like most
things of this nature I would not trust
this to be true but it's a fun story
