anti aging set back or delay?

[Lilymoon]

What is this I hear from people of anti aging set back? I thought there were promising drugs and vaccines for anti aging? Now there are set backs?

Was it there other doctor on YouTube saying anti aging is other 50 years out from now?

Like most things there's a few things that will either speed up or slow down progress.
1. Government regulations
2. Funding

The funny thing is both are opposite of each other...As in one needs government and the other needs it out of its way in a certain way.

Right now we have too many government regulations and progress through the stages is too slow or not allowed because of it...On the otherhand, we have a government that doesn't want to fund and hand out grants....

What we need for the grants to get to projects and methods and for the government to allow them to move forward.

I think a pill, injection or genetic treatment is at least 20 years out. Maybe we'll get lucky and China will allow one to hit the market before but I can't see the west allowing anything that isn't tested into the ground and with the way America is going on the funding side of things...I doubt it comes from America.

Do you have any good YouTube videos on this?

Also why are they not doing testing now?

What setbacks? There are dozens of treatments in the pipeline right now, some at Phase III or later:

There'll be an avalanche of new discoveries in the 2030s and 40s as longevity progress hits the knee of the curve.

Dr. David Sinclair's ER100 is one to watch out for. Human trials this year, targeting the aging of the eye.

His ultimate goal is a pill we take periodically that rejuvenates our whole-body epigenome by 75%.

All of this (minus perhaps the '40s' bit - I think AGI/ASI will discover everything there is to know about disease and aging during the 2030s, and clinical trial revamps that are in their early stages right now means the 30s might be the decade of treatment deployment as well). 2025-2026 is the most like an actual, existent real life thing the field has ever been. By far. In the 2010s almost all of this was pure theory; now it's getting close to an actual consumer treatment and service. Hell, there was already a trial where 1/3 of people treated, all between ages 70 and 85, no longer qualified as frail afterwards. Anti-aging isn't even futurism anymore (though the full development and deployment still is) when you reach the point where dozens of people have been treated so successfully that they no longer count as frail. That's not a mild development or an incremental improvement. That's a "Okay, well, I guess this futurism element has reached the present" moment.

The 20s are so much better than the 10s for futurism in general, really. People who weren't into futurism at the time will never really be able to understand just how old and dry the 10s were in comparison and just how soul-crushing being a 2010s futurist could be. The 10s had very, very little in the way of news that nourished the soul; the 20s, and 2026 to a far greater degree than any previous 2020s year, has those kinds of stories weekly or bi-weekly. One single 2020s month shifts my worldview moreso than the entire 2012-2019 range did (I got into futurism in December 2011 when finding FutureTimeline).
