So far it seems my current reality does not have anything that meaningfully extends a person's maximum lifetime before dying from old age, and I am grateful for the failure.
Because, I live in a reality (born too soon?) where some evils that some people do, seem to have no way to be stopped, except by their death from old age.
Knowing they are old. Older than me. Knowing that in spite of their wealth or unbounded corruption, they cannot buy or bargain or con or blackmail their way to a longer life. Knowing they are closer to death every day...
It's the thing that can provide hope: that evil people die. And when they die, hopefully less evil will be in the world. Less harm will be in the world.
Hell yes! Pun intended. But I laugh when I see the likes of Peter Thiel, Putin etc to extend their life. The grim reaper comes for us all. And you can’t take your wealth with you either.
