Imagine living for over a century with the same risk of dying each year, never becoming frailer or more vulnerable to disease. This isn't science fiction-it's the reality for Galapagos tortoises, which maintain a constant 1-2% annual death risk throughout adulthood. Meanwhile, humans face a dramatically different fate. After five or six relatively healthy decades, our risk of disease and death increases exponentially, with our biology deteriorating at every level. This stark contrast reveals a profound truth: aging isn't inevitable but malleable. What if the greatest medical revolution since antibiotics isn't curing a specific disease, but treating aging itself? Aging represents humanity's strangest blind spot-a worldwide pandemic claiming over 100,000 lives daily that we've simply accepted as fate. In wealthy countries, aging causes over 90% of deaths, yet our cognitive biases shield us from this reality. We're wired for optimism, we extrapolate from our current health, and we're insulated from seeing aging's worst effects until we experience them ourselves. This casual acceptance is particularly striking given our remarkable success in extending life expectancy. From prehistoric humans facing constant peril to Norway's chart-topping 45-year life expectancy in 1850 to beyond 70 by 1950, our progress represents humanity's crowning achievement. Yet we've reached a point where further gains require addressing aging itself rather than just its symptoms.
