Implausibility of radical life extension in humans in the twenty-first century
Attia addresses this as well, suggesting that if you set the reportatative hype aside, not much has changed to improve lifespan. He thinks the likelihood that we will extend it to even 115-120 is very low in the next 50 years. The “50 years” par might be a little hyperbolic but I don’t see any evidence on the horizon for getting past 115 and even then, you’re not going to be playing tennis. Of course, disruptive breakthroughs are by definition unpredictable except in retrospect.

I think it’s plausible since the technology growth and progress are exponential.

Nice chart. This says to me that almost anything is possible eventually. But since we don’t have any idea how hard radical life extension is….
What was the question that brought down Colossus? What happens when an unstoppable object runs into an immovable object?
I couldnt begin to guess.
I’m just going to go to the gym tomorrow.

In 50 years, humanity will either know everything it needs to know about biology or we will have destroyed ourselves.
Hard to imagine any other outcome with superhuman intelligence on track to happen over the next 10 years.

It will happen at the same time as practical fusion reactors.
