I'm curious... why is there so much interest in curing aging, particularly in Silicon Valley?

Somewhat cynical, but we seem to be so far from making good use of the time we have, that it's difficult to understand how stretching it out by some fraction will make an improvement (once novelty effects have worn off).

Speak for yourself, friend. I'm working hard every moment I can, because there is so much I have to give to the world, I can't imagine finishing it all even if I live 200 years.

My hint is that tech is plateauing, so medical is the next market with growth potential for SV venture capital

Speak about yourself. I make good use of my time. So I want more. I don't want joint pains of old age, wrinkled face, or slow brain. I want eternal youth.

Give me immortality or give me death

[mr_woozy]

well you'll certainly get one, guaranteed.

I am not 100% sure, and I would hate the middle: eternal old age.

But if I get either eternal youth or death? Good! I will either be happy or not care!
