I am not one of those who subscribes to the theory that growing old is "natural". Clearly, it is quite unnatural.
The progression of progeria seems natural also, but is obviously a tragic miscommunication in the genetic code.
One thing that concerns me is that brain functions seem to be age-dependent also. Perhaps the discoveries that will deal with general aging will take care of that as well. But I suspect we will have to augment our memory systems in some way.
A question I have wondered about, but have not yet found any information, is whether those with eidetic memories have a deterioration in that capability which is unrelated to general brain deterioration. In other words, in remembering everything, do they fill up quicker?
These matters require more study, if the human race is to accomplish its true destiny.
Uh-oh...
I don’t understand what you said, so I need to leave. perhaps my brain will rejuvenate overnight. Or not.
‘Night!
It is an entropy issue... If your study leads you to discover a means to reverse entropy, you will have the key to, among other things, perpetual motion, things that wind up instead of run down, lifespans of Biblical length...
But until then, the second law of thermodynamics is intact..
