问HN:我们为什么不解决衰老问题?
为什么这对每个人来说不是首要任务呢?<p>人们是否认为解决衰老和死亡是不可能的?<p>宗教、来世信仰、财富不平等和金融精英主义在其中扮演了什么角色(如果有的话)?<p>这真是一个有趣的想法,不是吗——我们都在衰老和死亡,整体上相当迅速,而似乎没有人对此太在意。没有人愿意谈论这个问题。<p>就好像大多数人根本看不到需要解决的问题。<p>而当我审视这个问题时……它似乎完全是可以解决的!我不禁想知道为什么没有其他人对此感兴趣?<p>我认为对此问题最糟糕的回答往往是:“谁会想要永生?”(这是一个不同的哲学问题,也很有趣,但对我来说不那么紧迫)。<p>我真心想知道为什么没有人关心解决衰老——这是一个容易理解和克服的生物现象,若能解决,将无疑是宇宙历史上最大的发现。

Why isn't it the top priority for everyone?<p>Do people believe it's impossible to solve aging, and death?<p>What role does religion, afterlife beliefs, wealth inequality, and financial elitism play (if any)?<p>It's a very interesting thought isn't it - that we all age and die, overall pretty quickly, and nobody seems to care too much about it. Nobody wants to talk about it.<p>As if most people don't even see a problem to solve.<p>And when I look at the problem... it seems entirely solvable! I can't help but wonder why nobody else cares?<p>I think the worst possible reply to this question tends to be something like: "who would want to live forever?" (a different philosophical question, also interesting, but to me less urgent).<p>I genuinely want to know why nobody cares to solve aging - a biological phenomenon easily knowable and conquerable that would easily be the greatest discovery in the history of the Universe.
