Obviously the idea is to live longer with good mental and physical health.

There's no point in living longer if your faculties are too degraded to enjoy it, you may as well just be dead.




I guess it's not so obvious if GP is the top comment. It seems broader messaging around anti-aging needs to be even better (nothing against the paper). Sometimes I like the jargon of negligible senescence and longevity escape velocity, because I don't think it's possible to know the meaning of those phrases and also think the goal is eking out as much substandard life as possible, so if you can't have a two-way conversation at least you can put in a semantic roadblock that invites a curious reader to look up the meaning and then not have the GP's question.
