Re: Re: so if exercise mitigates age-related decline

What's left out of that "equation" is the FACT, that as we get older we have less people who we can communicate with. Imagine me trying to convince Herbert Hoover that everyone needed flush toilets that were ACTUALLY INSIDE the house? There are large comm gaps between generations. 118 is several generations. You will speak a completely different English and the terms change so radically to be completely opposite of what they were. Even technical terms. Maybe technical terms more than others, because technical stuff changes so rapidly now.

Imagine Tesla when you say megahertz, "megaWHAT?".

I was reminded this morning that we've had electricity available for less than 100 years.

People don't adapt very well as they get older. 118 must be like living a nightmare. You've got 4 children, 10 gc, 25 ggc, 62 gggc, 156 ggggc and no one comes to see you. You see ads for sexual dysfunction and you wonder what are they talking about?

People who can change lifestyle when they're younger, might be able to adapt better later. Be prepared for radical changes in the next 50 yrs.

Regards.

As funny as it is i don't think that's the case A lot of peopleliving "the good and clean life" perish a little over 100. NO ONE hassurvived 118! So i think it reasonable to assume that (118) as a normal genetic lifeSPAN.FreeBird

Not clean living, but, isn't 122 the record?
