Yeah, that’s understandable! The society teaches us from early age that there is a distinction between “diseases” and “aging”. So this distinction continues in our minds and we hardly ever question it. We learn it by imitation without deep understanding. In most cases it works well and serves as a usable and attention-saving shortcut. And it also may be responsible for prolonging old concepts that need a review.
104·16 days agoA classical sign of an early worldcentric worldview that is more about competition than about collaboration. A level “orange” in Integral theory. But humankind is continuing its development to late worldcentric worldview “green” level and more. And Fediverse is helping with that!
Would you say that there is no need for better research for curing cancer just because new treatments will be super expensive, so only uber-rich zilionairs will benefit?
Probably not. (I hope)
Aging-caused diseases are really just some other type of health problems that leads to death. And curing such things is what medicine is doing. Heart bypass is a great example of helping to survive such problem.
And yes, new tech is usually expensive. And with adoption it became not only cheaper but better. Compare first mobile phones that was super expensive and could do nearly nothing to todays cheap smartphone that is more powerful than the computer that helped us to land on the Moon. If you care about health of poor and middle class people, you could rather help to accelerate the adoption, so more people can afford aging-reversal medicine sooner and not suffer from aging.
Longevity / rejuvenation / aging-reversal researchers and funding.
We can already reverse aging in lab and could it bring to humans in wild. But for that we need resources.
Integral thinking. Currently only cca 2% of population and desperately needed in even more complex world!
According to Ken Wilber, Bill Clinton said that the problem of Middle East is that less than 2% of world population is integral (on the integral level of consciousness). So it would be nice if more people would understand than and agree.
