Also 38. Feels like we are likely gonna be the last generation that actually gets old, and perhaps the only generation to revert from old to young again. What an insane experience that will be if it pans out.

I do think if people our age make it to 60 there will be enough advancements to get us to 88 pretty safely. And from there who knows… I definitely expect to live well past 100 if I make it to 60.

Yea, could be wrong I suppose, anything can happen. Just seems a lot is changing right now, and most people don't experience change like we will.

In my country live expectancy if you get to 60 is already around that...

it was already 86 in 2019 (PRE Corona, we'll probably go back to those numbers when we get the data from 2022)... So 88 in 22 more years is pretty conservative.

Anyway we got to a point when the main impact in live expectancy is having a healthy live. Be a tiny bit active, avoid being overweight and you'll get past 90 even without medicine improvements.

Yeah calorie restriction and exercise and clean diet will get you very far. Hopefully we can make progress on cancer and heart disease as those can strike you down as you get older even if you’re healthy.
