"The first person to live to [200, 300, 500, 1000] has already been born"

[Amine]

I would say it is probably true. No guarantee of course, but we are in the very beginning of a biotech revolution that will progress as fast as Moore's Law for a long time to come (and has already significantly outpaced it, actually). We have every reason to believe that outrageous medical advances will be made in the coming decades.

I think if someone lives to 150 they are pretty much on course for indefinite. It's one of those things that will just be cured. It's not as if, at some point, there will be ultra-decrepit 150 year olds walking around. No, at some point we reach escape velocity and health is just indefinitely maintained. You're perpetually biologically 25. Difficult problem, kind of like un-scrambling an egg, but possible, and taken more seriously by the month. This year Google got in the game.

I plan on reaching longevity escape velocity. If I don't, I will get cryonics, which will hopefully have improved even more by the end of my lifespan, whenever that may be. Like I said in another thread, if the life expectancy doesn't rise a bit until I die, it'll be the late 2060s or so. Shit is going to be fucking insane in the late 2060s. We can't even conceive of it.

I wrote an essay about this here: https://deanamine.wordpress.com/2015/10/...evity-day/
