    I don’t know if this is good or bad news but not everyone gets old…

    This is only a rumor, it’s not true.

    HAHA! I LIED! YOU’RE GONNA BE OLD (PROBABLY)!

    Getting old beats the alternative though.

    Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin!

      First of all, what’s your source for that? It seems hard to get data on. Second of all, I could understand that. The schooling system used in much of the western world is great at making docile factory workers, but not so great at making happy, emotionally healthy and creative people.

    It’s kind of like this big experiment, tho’ of course precious little data is being collected, wherein each of us can make all sorts of lifestyle choices, and then we can see which one’s result in better, healthier, longer lives.

      There’s also the OSK treatment Sinclair’s lab has seen results with, and the blood replacement stuff is also showing promising signs. There’s hope that we can actually roll back the clock, but we aren’t there yet.
