They take 20-30 years, not because of less medicalizing - but because of more.
I'm not arguing against health, or good medicine. But we have industry segments that make trillions out of stretching your final agonies, leaving your families impoverished by your passing, while stealing from the kinds of real medical benefit that result in higher standards of living.
US has lower quality medical outcomes than Bulgaria, for many common measures.
It's what will happen. It's what's supposed to happen.
It's not life, without death. No death? No Beethoven or Taj Mahal or Pericles or Haiku.
Nada.
Without an end, there is no way to face your existence with grace and courage. Bu don't worry. That's empty speculation. You will get old - if you're lucky.
Just weeks after NSA boss Alexander said that a review of NSA spying found not even one violation, the Washington Post published an internal NSA audit showing that the agency has broken its own rules thousands of times each year
2 Senators on the intelligence committee said the violations revealed in the Post article were just the âoetip of the icebergâ
People really don't like facing the fact that they will get old. That they will die. That everything about themselves - good and bad - is also inextricably tied to this reality.
What? And subject myself to the uncritical indoctrination that seems to guide your prejudice?
You seem not to be able to see past technological fetishism - the sort that admires scientism - as exemplified by this proposed medicalization of aging.
These are propositions that use scientific learning in the technological pursuit of of human fears and personal demands. This is the same basis for justifying and admiring eugenics or brainwashing.
Seriously. Calling age a disease is a rhetorical manipulation, divorced from the truth. Clinging to this notion is a form of delusion.
Equivalent fancies would call gravity a form of oppression, or render the second law of thermodynamics a form of theft.
These people need psychologists, not funding. Medical care is already unaffordable in the US, with outcomes similar to Kazakhstan. Quack-science like this is a part of the problem.
There are audit and compliance issues, that will prevent some workloads from EVER going into production, without support for accredited or validated configurations.
Just PCI-DSS is tough enough - if you need to walk a QSA through your homebrew hosts.
Last week, Secretary of State John Kerry visted Pakistan. In an interview with Geo TV he remarked on Egypt:
SECRETARY KERRY: [...] The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of whom were afraid of a descendance into chaos, into violence. And the military did not take over, to the best of our judgment so â" so far. To run the country, thereâ(TM)s a civilian government. In effect, they were restoring democracy. And the fact is --
QUESTION: By killing people on the roads?
SECRETARY KERRY: Oh, no. Thatâ(TM)s not restoring democracy, and weâ(TM)re very, very concerned about, very concerned about that. And Iâ(TM)ve had direct conversations with President Mansour, with Vice President ElBaradei, with General al-Sisi, as have other members of our government. And Iâ(TM)ve talked to the Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy, so Iâ(TM)ve been in touch with all of the players there. And we have made it clear that that is absolutely unacceptable, it cannot happen.
Now, as you know, these situations can be very confusing and very difficult. Weâ(TM)re working very hard right now with Lady Catherine Ashton, with various officials, with other foreign ministers of other countries, in order to try to see if we can resolve this peacefully. But the story of Egypt is not finished yet, so we have to see how it unfolds in the next days.
American is propaganda. Merely reinforcement of official statement:
Two weeks ago, Schieffer spewed a vicious, one-sided attack on Edward Snowden, accusing him of "putting the nation's security at risk and running away." Echoing Dick Cheney and Rudy Giuliani, Schieffer added:
I know eleven people who died or lost a member of their family on 9/11. My younger daughter lived in Manhattan then. It was six hours before we knew she was safe. I'm not interested in going through that again. I don't know yet if the government has over-reached since 9/11 to reinforce our defenses, and we need to find out. What I do know, though, is that these procedures were put in place and are being overseen by officials we elected and we should hold them accountable.
"I think what we have in Edward Snowden is just a narcissistic young man who has decided he is smarter than the rest of us. I don't know what he is beyond that, but he is no hero. If he has a valid point -- and I'm not even sure he does -- he would greatly help his cause by voluntarily coming home to face the consequences."
How come you're allowed to have that opinion and be an "objective journalist"? How come none of the people so very upset that those who are reporting on the NSA stories have opinions are objecting to any of that or calling the TV host an "activist"? The answer is clear: "objectivity" in Washington journalism does not mean being free of opinions; it means the opposite: dutifully echoing the official opinions and subjective mindset of those in political power. In the eyes of official Washington and its media mavens, spouting opinions is not a sin. The sin is spouting opinions that deviate from the ones expressed by and which serve the interests of those in power.

Why I leave mine in the hotel room, and wander about the area in dungarees and trainers.
Plausible deniability.

And? You will certainly die.
"aging is the primary source for all deseases"
An argument, thought out and reasoned, just as clearly as it is spelled.
Get this through your head:
You are going to die.
People really don't like facing the fact that they will get old. That they will die. That everything about themselves - good and bad - is also inextricably tied to this reality.
Denial. It isn't just for "climate change". ;-)
Three hours? All that money to shave away 120 minutes?
If it weren't for CHP, I'd make it in five, every time, no problem...

Seriously. Thank god, that people grow old and die.
What if the foetus hatched a plan, to gestate for eternity?
This is ground-shaking stuff.

It's the sex that kills 'em off. But what a way to go! Buzzed and polished.
Hey! Another guitar/bass builder, on /. ! Who'da thunk it?

BitCoin, SchmitCoin!
If this is the kind of stunt being pulled off, it a'int no BitCoin that I worry about.
GooglePay from Android phones. There's where you can make your pennyshaving pay big rewards.
I would run over my phone with a truck, before trusting Android with real account information.

It did strange things, to my guitar building textbook.
I think it may have been the phrase "Ebony Stiffeners".
I have a new word, for the English language.
"Ballmer"
As in "We've been completely ballmered."
or
"Bend over, and take your ballmering like a man!
