Aging

Aging is a disease and thus can potentially be cured. For example, Turritopsis dohrnii jelly fish ages backwards.

I personally don't plan to live for long once my body starts truly breaking down of age. I maximize the quality of my life experience through proper sleep, exercise and having no stress optimistic outlook. I don't have any negative thoughts about death as all things end, including our universe. Only thing that's annoying is pain especially chronic so best try avoid that (that includes prisons, diseases..).

Notes

Curcumin, Pterostilbene and Nicotinamide riboside supposedly have anti aging properties.
I'm 71 and find that the less I worry about aging, the younger I feel.
It’s amazing how well a few things predict longevity. Do you smoke? Are you obese? High cholesterol or blood pressure? Do you sit or do you move? Living healthier for ~15 years longer is not rocket science, but does take effort.
I'm 61 and I walk briskly 90 minutes 5-6 a week and lift weights 3-4 times a week. I never experience "aches and pain" with age.
Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person always should have been.
You’re not running out of time, you’re running out of energy working on the wrong stuff.
Rapamycin meaningfully makes every organism we’ve tested live longer. Yeast cells, mice, apes and almost certainly humans.
Don't worry about life' uncertainties. It will all be good.
At 40, I've done some of the best work I've ever done and my pay has been better than ever. I'm 52 now and the trend has only gotten better. Why? Its because at 40, I had a much deeper understanding of the tech, I understood of the whole business process and I had the maturity to deal with people in a productive way. You won't find all of those in a 25 year old developer. The only way that age becomes a detriment is if you do not grow. I worked with someone my age who only strong skills are a large enterprise storage system. He is a dinosaur and his future is limited. That's not his age, its the way he chose to build is CV. Age is just number guys. Stay current, keep learning and stay strong.
One challenge of people living longer: they cling to power longer, remaining in control of the most important institutions far past peak competency.
Over the years, I have become convinced that much of the observed age-correlated cognitive decline in people younger than ~70 results from voluntary life choices, such as settling into fixed behavioral patterns (e.g. doing the same thing over and over for decades) and lack of exposure to new stimuli. It's the case for some physical activities as well: almost all people's actual performance degrades way, way faster, than their potential peak performance.
