    I’m 60. Still trying to delude myself that this might, just, maybe, with the help of some soon-to-be invented drug, be “middle aged”.

    A sort-of “60 is the new 40” sort of pipe dream.

      I’m 42 and feel like it’s the new 70 due to all the stress in my life and its toll on my mental and physical health.

      You might be old enough that your blood will never be harvested for the life extension of billionaires.

      Its funny because I’m 35 and read the singularity when I was in my 20’s and was like “wow I might never die!”

      I look back at that now as foolish.

        I’m in the sameish boat, though I’m still kinda holding out for life extension stuff. More of a quality of life type of thing.

        Just gotta not die naturally and also somehow gain access to cutting age tech, no big deal

        Don’t Look Up.

        Remember who escaped?

        The good news is, remember what happened to them. Maybe there is karma somehow.
