Not sure what the original author was trying to say there. But I
didn't go into enough detail on what I was thinking. Suppose that
"effective age" has a different value than your actual age, and
suppose we hit LEV, and in other words, you're going to live for a
very, very long time. At what "effective age" would you prefer to be
set at? I suppose most people would answer, whatever the global
average is for what people's "effective age" is. I would prefer to be
set to where 1 year feels like 3 years, or even greater.
