My generation will be the first to have the option to never grow old. I've been eating anti-aging nootropics since I was 20, and I've been studying the process of aging for as many years and am confident that we can radically expand our longevity and possibly enjoy having the brain & body of a 25 year old for another 25 years. Aging is a mechanical process and is reversible.

And of course there's always the threat that we do come up with this technology or wisdom but it lays solely in the hands of a few CEOs of multinational corporations. Which is why we need to do it DIY and open sauce it all.
