Some of you might have heard from the Manhattan Beach Project meeting, quoting this articel:
http://www.centuryci..._to_Aging/25407
The conference opened with entrepreneur and futurist Ray Kurtzweil, who explained, “We are very close to the tipping point in human longevity. We are about 15 years away from adding more than one year of longevity per year to remaining life expectancy.”
What great news! And if this is the realistic scenario, we might wittness escape velocity within less than 10 years in the ideal case!
I suggest organising a huge party now and preparing for the post-aging era instead of promoting the now unneseccary efforts to hasten the research. However, I wonder why no other news outlet reported about this information? very, very strange... ha! dumbasses! They will be so suprised, when they wake up in 10-15 years seeing aging being stoped in humans!
hmm... just discovered that they speak of "Ray Kurtzweil", ie it seems to be not Kurzweil himslef, but maybe a close relative. That changes everything - we have to fight aging again! Dammit!
