the primary challenge of these advancements lies in integrating these technologies into our societal framework without exacerbating inequality, concentrating power among a few, or risking overpopulation.
Quite directly, this smells a lot like bullshit. Those concerns will stop exactly zero billionaires from extending their lives if it’s effective and has no side-effectives. And it won’t take very long for visible success in billionaires to move it down to thousands then millions of users. Once the cat’s really out of the bag, it will be unstoppable.
Those may be valid concerns for the future of humanity, but they’re not blockers to adoption of the technology.
Which means, to me, that you’re FAR overstating how far the current results are from working in existing humans.
I’m sorry if you are angry about the fact you may not be told about advancements in this field. Many people seem to be angry or dismissive in this field when they cant see how to use the solutions directly themselves.
Your opening is of disbelief, but a significant part of your comment is about fear of billionaires using the technology and not sharing it. Which is what this is about. I try not to assume that billionares are dont want to help the majority to take these drugs, but if there is absolutely no discussion other than toxicity then we are likely to collapse. If we dont make the solutions refined, there will be no way for them to support us to take even existing solutions, which we are unlikely to know 100% if they work until a few generations time.
I think that honestly following the developments, rationally, with optimism, and understanding of how the exponential nature of technology has changed the way that society is able to assume consistency from lessons over the ages. Encouraging a fair discussion “we did all we could” attitude among the whole community would make it way more pleasent and likely to happen for everyone who wants it.
This is an early warning that if we let attitudes like this prevail, then the vast majorority will not get the choice, and the generational paranoias of elite ruling classes who live in the shadows and manipulate humanity will be 1000x more likely to be 1000x worse.
