Public belief in radical life extension may flip within years
LessWrong argues a cascade shift in mass belief about radical life extension (RLE) could arrive soon—not that it's happening now, but that people will expect it in their lifetime.
Once that belief solidifies, it reshapes behavior: retirement planning, investment horizons, family decisions, and career moves all hinge on whether you expect to live significantly longer.
The threshold is psychological, not technical—a sudden consensus that RLE is credible enough to plan around.
