[ExI] The "real" world

[Natasha Vita-More]

The term immortality is a misnomer.  Immortality implies a No Exit
syndrome(i.e. Satre) based on biological life.  Transhumanist prefer using
terms like radical life extension or superlongevity, etc. to suggest a
continued state of existence beyond biological parameters.

(By the way, CR is not proven to actually extend life.  It is also not
proven to be healthy.)

Ok, then I'll ask a slightly different question: what if there was a diet
that dramatically slowed the aging process, thereby greatly increasing one's
chances of living until the advent of some technology that made immortality
possible?
