People in their twenties have an annual chance of dying of about one in a thousand, so effective anti-aging would give an expected lifespan of about a thousand years.
Based on the rates of various types of accidental deaths, you could extend that quite a bit by avoiding dangerous drugs and and living in an area where you're unlikely to get shot. If we figure out really safe self-driving cars, that'll make a big difference too. In much of Europe you can already get the same effect by taking public transport everywhere. Air travel is quite unlikely to kill you.
And some cells do not reproduce (neurons, etc), so you have to keep them in good shape, except this is impossible. For example 1/3 people are infected with Herpes virus which stays in their neurons.
In addition some cells reproduce only a few times, often only during youth.
No some cells never reproduce, for example motor neurons.
> "I imagine that if aging can be reversed new cell growth could also be stimulated."
I have a hard time to imagine how to replace a up to one meter/yard long cell with sometimes hundred of synapses which is surrounded by cells such as astroglia and microglia that are equally important.
SelfControl, LeechBlock, and uBlock Origin because they are effective tools that help reduce distractions and improve productivity, as supported by various studies published in peer-reviewed journals. These tools have been found to improve academic performance, increase the ability to focus and resist temptation, reduce website clutter, and improve website usability.
Every system will frustrate you. Nothing ever works 100% all the time, well except OpenBSD. But that’s because it’s such a tiny system.
Mac is way less frustrating than Windows, but not all Linux apps are available on Mac. If you use gpg on mac, be prepared for a lot of annoyances. On Linux it was more stable. Another thing that is missing is the i3 window manager. Virtualization limits you to modern systems, as there is the M1 chip.
Use whatever saves you the most time, we only have one lifetime
All of it is entertainment. Only email is serious, so I block everything during work hours. On dns level, router level and on app level, so it’s to much work to unblock. Then I usually decide to fet away from computer, because long hours sitting are bad for posture. While not perfect, it’s how we naturally deal with most of the world, we ignore it. Like how we only see 10% of what are our eyes see, at most. Some apps to install: self control (mac), leech block (ffox), etc. You can also decide computer is only for work, and block everything at so many levels it’s to much work to unblock.
Food diet, less sugar, fat. Eat more cacao, but with few sugar. Listen calming music. Make exercise. Block news and stressful information. Get rid of smartphone and social media
