Comment on Did UCLA Just Cure Baldness?

This means that out of the 10 or 20 thousand generations of humans there have been since our origin, everyone reading this will miss out on immortality by about 2.

When the scientific discoveries drop in about 50 years, you can expect another 20 years of development, approval, and commercialization. So if you are 10yo now, you will be 80yo taking your first pill. Hopefully that will not be too late for you.

Alternately it was posited in the late 90s that those of us that will live to 150 are already alive, at 40 years old with current medical technology I’m pretty sure I can make it another 70 years if I take care of myself.
Assuming a continued exponential growth in medical advancement.
The actuality of it though is my 401k is built around a glorious death in the water wars.
