  • Yes we could evolve to live longer, but as you point out we are not, and science is no where near rewriting the code to fix that in designer babies let alone already old rich pricks.

    Naturally it would take a long time and it is hard to see how we would evolve there, but parrots, some turtles, tortoises, sharks, sturgeon, and idk what else have done it.

    Greenland sharks live over 500 years I think I saw on a post on the big site.


  • It is not possible for a human to live 200 years. 150 would be more than about the absolute maximum. Your body has stem cells and they put forth cells for the body pre-programmed for cell death after a term where they’re replaced by new stem cells.

    There are only so many copies in those stem cells to say nothing of the degradation of the DNA over time. For human history the maximum age has never changed, the average age has wildly fluctuated but they have had super old people going back into antiquity.

    No advances in medicine have changed either the degradation of DNA or the lack of stem cell copies in the body to live beyond the maximum age.





  • By running as they do they doom us to the Republicans. I do not see how that is hard for you to understand. Being better than the other guy is not enough to win elections, you should have realized that in 2016 at the latest, yet here we are approaching 2028 and you are still advocating for this doomed to fail policy despite being one election away from a permanently rigged system for a one-party state?

    And make no mistake it will be rigged every way it can be but 2028 we have a chance to take it from them in the succession fight. Not with the establishment leaders we have though.
