It is semantics.
But they're really fucking important ones.
Aging is not a disease. It's a natural process.
And to beat this horse a little more, it does matter. Because when you start saying things like age is a disease.
You fail to understand that you're not even talking about age for one.
After all, 80 year old healthy person, disease free.
15 year old going through puberty, disease free.
Both are experiencing aging. We all are after all. Not all of us have disease.
The only world in which it makes sense to say Aging is a Disease.
Is one in which you're confused about words. And that means you're confused about the concepts behind those words. And that you'll be confused when searching for really fucking important things. Like how to actually cure a disease.
