Recently, I came across some interesting perspectives on life extension. Someone posed a question—why does your body age synchronously? You won't have one arm that’s 80 years old and another that’s 20. What does this imply? It suggests that there is a unified mechanism behind aging, like a master "clock" controlling everything.

If we view aging as a program, then the logic makes sense—since it’s a program, there’s a possibility to rewrite it. Will technology be able to solve this problem in the future? Looking at nature, it becomes clear. Bowhead whales can live for 200 years, Greenland sharks for 500 years. They’ve achieved this—why can’t humans?

Some believe it’s either a hardware issue or a software issue. The key technologies to solve these problems might emerge within the next ten years. Until then, don’t let trivial things cause you to give up.

Sounds like science fiction? But if we reason from first principles, the logical chain actually has no flaws.

But here’s a more painful question. If the technology truly matures, who will be able to use it? Will it be the small elite of Wall Street and Davos, or every ordinary person? When immortality becomes a commodity that can be bought with money, will human society be torn into two species? A group of immortal gods and a group of mortals who will eventually die.

Technology itself is neutral. But how it’s used and who can use it reveal raw class issues. Sometimes, the difficulty of this problem might be greater than solving death itself.
