I know it is an offtopic but wow, this part about aging seems so - i don't even know how to call it, someone would call it probably west-centered or white-centered - but for me it seems just insensitive and not smart.

I mean, of all the biological dramas like infectious diseases killing literally millions of children in Africa and Asia, a guy steps out and say - "hey we should really focus on making that canadian guy live 100 instead of 90 years!".

As if death was an inherently bad thing. No, when it occurs naturally and peacufelly it is actually a good thing and essential for socio-economical circulation. We should accept this instead of fighting, and rather focus on tragic, premature and preventable deaths
