    The key concept that you’re forgetting is that this is only the knowledge we have and it’s not the knowledge we don’t have. That is to say that the complexities of human physiology are so large and intertwined that we don’t know a lot about it.

    Will telomere manipulation and treatment of cancer have an effect on longevity, yes.

    But we are very much unable to accurately predict who gets cancer, when and where. Cancer is also a name for a massively large collection of problems in human tissues, that are all completely different in pretty much everything. There will never be A cure or THE cure for cancer because it isn’t a single thing.

    And then there is the fact that most people know what aides in longevity: excersize, a mostly plant based diet, no smoking, no drinking. Thousands of studies have been done on this. People however aren’t doing it. People seem to be perfectly fine with their mortality.

    What all these fuckers want is to smoke, drink, catch every disease known to mankind, eat McDonalds every hour of every day and then walk into a longevity pod that fixes all their problems without pain, without recovery, without effort and preferably within a minute or two while on their phone.
