I remember when I was a senior in high school back in the late 90s, my biology teacher mused one day that ours might be the first generation to not die of old age. I don’t know if I’m anywhere near as optimistic now as he was then, but it is incredibly exciting to think about. There have been a slew of discoveries over the past 20 years that have been building towards this, and it’s all been very fascinating. No idea if this is the grail or not, but it certainly seems like an important piece of the puzzle.

Oscar winning cinematography.

Edit: for real, though, you should watch the movie. It’s incredible. Very funny, very sweet, and it features Michelle Yeoh, James Hong, and Ke Huy Quan. In fact, it marked Ke’s return to movies after a 20 year hiatus (he plays Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, btw).

Reminds me of that scene in “Everything Everywhere All At Once”.
