No hopes for immortality here. But a few extra years would be welcome.

Are you familiar with the “actuarial immortality” concept? The idea is that lifespan expectations are climbing faster as time goes on, and when it reaches the point that it climbs one year or more per year, the expected span becomes “indefinite”. So you/I/we just have to make it to that point! 😉
