Humans are getting really, really good at computational chemistry and all life is about balancing a system of chemical equilibria. So maybe?

Computationally, we might be close. Practically, probably going to be awhile. There are aspects common to all life about the molecular machinery of DNA/RNA/protein synthesis that biology still does not have good models for yet . Without accurate models of the entire human proteome engineering to significantly reverse or delay aging is next to impossible - it would be shooting largely in the dark.

There were many novels, comic books, TV shows, radio programs, and movies before humans actually had the Apollo program to the Moon. 100’s of years of them. No idea where we are on that time scale now. We could be in the 1950’s during the Space Race or we could be in the 1850’s before even planes were invented, and gliders were the highest technology of the time.

Life extension technology is when capitalism’s execesses will finally dawn on most people. Having 200 year old trillionaires is going to be a hoot.

Give mensheviks their own little republik.

The UK has a major problem with boomer second wave feminists taking up most of the positions of power in old media.

Does anyone know why that is? I don’t see that in other countries - not to the level of TERF island.

Cultures without art of their own will glom unto satire as if it were a compliment.
