RE: What Is Aging Anyway? Video Interview By Me
Another very interesting topic! I think the practical biological side of aging is just a technicality and not the really interesting thing here. Someday we might be able to stop / reverse aging or maybe not. The really interesting thing is the psychologic aspect and the impect on the planet.
Even today the human population is immensly large already, imagine us being immortal and still having children... we'd better be well on our way colonising different planets as well then!
As for the psychological part, I have no idea how a human brain would cope with say 300 hears of memories. Or what about societal values? How acceptable would it be to have a relationship with a 100 year age difference? Will age still even mean something at all if our bodies no longer age? You probably cant estimate someones age by their looks anymore... lots more to consider!!
@seersalomon Hey :)) Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, some great questions your dropping!!
And yes if we will all continue to stay alive an even bigger population challenge than we see today will arise. Perhaps not to begin with as it probably will be a certain part of the world that gets this opportunity.. but I believe I've heard thats why Elon Musk wants to go to Mars, so that we can both save the human race and figure out new places so to grow our population.. !
But yes, I love your questions I have never thought about "how will our human brain cope with 300 years of memories..!!! Thanks for reflecting with me. I have another post on ageing coming up in not too long :D Have a good day!
