Reply to comment by TheHamsterSandwich in Becoming increasingly pessimistic about LEV + curing aging by Phoenix5869

I heard ppl 10 years ago saying that we would cure it in 15 20 years so i assumed they said that 10 years before that aswell

You say LEV is within reach by 2060 so hopefully you live until then I guess?

I don't mean this as an insult. Ten years ago, you were 7. Give it ten it more years, you'll be in your 20s, and will have those years behind you to research and watch any progress. That should give you a better idea of whether or not to be pessimistic.

What kind of "experts" are you listening to?

The experts that said that lengthening telomeres was all that needed to be done, compared to what we know today, the hallmarks of aging, that was a ridiculous assumption, predictions now are logically much more accurate

You know, the experts, people that got PhDs in the stuff, people that spent 30 years studying the field. Not, Reddit experts that watched a sketchy YouTube video and then formed an opinion based on wishful thinking.

I don't think there won't be one cure and then you're done, it's about complex treatments during your lifetime.
