Personally I do not care about increasing my life span.
I only care about increasing my health span.
My objective is to slide sideways at high speed into the grave when it’s time for me to go 
Life is for living, not for obsessing on things we have no control over. Although I’ve been telling my wife lately that 90% of the things she worries about don’t happen, so keep on worrying as it seems to be working LoL!

I think that’s perhaps common for people like us who have spent time in work that’s taken us into nursing homes quite a bit. I feel the same.

My first goal is to live at least a normal length of time and reduce the time I’m frail and falling apart to the absolute minimum before I die, hopefully zero if I can help it.
My second goal is to live an extra decade or two or three and then do the same thing of minimal disability.
My third goal is get to longevity escape velocity and not die of aging at all and instead die of some weird freak hiking accident when I’m 302 years old.
I think the first two are doable with what we have now and the things coming along soon. I think the third one might be doable if AI really accelerates biology research.
