      Could be Longevity Escape Velocity.

      The theory that in one point in time, science will help us live longer say a couple of years, and during that time, science will find out how to make us live some more years etc until we can live how long time we want to.

      Some people think we’re already there BTW.

              So where do people interested in longevity hang out?

              I’m a longtime fan, but with the exception to a discord for a while, it seems people are not very interested.

                Beats me. r/longevity was the largest group I found, but I don’t frequent there any more for rather obvious reasons.

                    I really don’t get the debate against even just living longer…

                    The point of longevity isn’t to have a rambling grape, it’s to have people stay in their prime for significantly longer time. This means anything you could want to do then would be avaliable. With optimal mind too, imagine the spike in development of technology. Maybe the singularity or something, and all of a sudden anything anyone imagines can be done. It’ll be a world of dreams, and surely dreams can’t get boring, right?
