I haven't read Braden's books. I might check them out. It's not really a new concept. Deepak Chopra wrote some similar stuff.
I collaborated with a scientist on an antiaging book a few years ago. I could explain aging, but it would take a while. Basically, humans (and most other species) evolved to perform three primary functions as efficiently as possible: to grow to sexual maturity, to reproduce, and to survive long enough for their progeny to survive on their own. All other functions, such as longevity, was a byproduct.
We are still in the 1st generation of antiaging (testosterone, hGH injections, etc). Within twenty years we should be able to reverse aging to a significant degree. Within 40 years, it could be commonplace.
The 34-year-old OP could live well past 100 and remain healthy during those years, provided he takes care of himself until these coming breakthroughs become mainstream.
Bunk!
Well, that completely refuted my position. /smiley
Seriously, the challenge facing antiaging scientists is that aging occurs on many fronts. The current generation of antiaging drugs (T, hGH, etc) primarily addresses hormone levels. The greatest challenge, as I see it, is stopping and possibly reversing the shortening of telomeres. Some promising research is being done with blood transfusions, stem cells, and NAD+, but I'm not in the loop as to what top researchers are looking at now. One of the top antiaging scientists in the world told me we are less than 10 years away. I'm skeptical of that timeline, but that's his opinion. I could probably find a source from one of his fellow scientists for the forecast, if desired.

What we need is for treee telomere DNA to be adapted for humans. Then we can live for thousands of years, unless, we are cut down in our prime.

I think this is potentially an artifact of poorer record keeping and an overemphasis on only western civilizations in the past. There were probably just as many small, inter-tribal and sectarian conflicts happening in less developed parts of the world back then, they just weren't as well documented as they are now.
The process of aging cannot be changed. You can extend a high level of fitness throughout your lifetime and replace a few parts that wear out, but aging will still continue. And the odds increase for an unpreventable genetic mutation that will accelerate that process. You can't fool Mother Nature so just enjoy what you get.
I guess they are but I don't think about that.
This morning, got out of bed, checked my alarm, 7:37am.
Drank some water, put the coffee on, checked it again. 7:47.
Also came to LRC (the first site I usually visit in the morning) to find this thread on the homepage.
Can't say I wasn't surprised because it's an interesting thread. We all want to live longer. Most people do, I would imagine.
Odds of all the 7's are now 1/100,000.
Wait, just saw 7:57. Now it's one in a million.
I have specifically focused my mind to look for signs I'm on the right track in my tv pilot venture.
So it's expected I will notice these things..
Here is Alive on YouTube:

In all seriousness, the melody is fine, but the lyrics are absolutely atrocious. Really simple, obvious, baby-level, lazy rhyming and a 10 on the Cringe Scale for cliche'd, trite sentiment and content.
I'd keep the melody and completely redo the vocals. Oh and for god's sake lose the awful "fee-ee-yeal" patch for missing syllables.

your link shows the opposite. Total deaths are in a temporarily trough after steadily increasing toward the world-war outliers, and battle deaths are already rising again.
But more importantly, it shows that more wars are occurring.

That denser cluster of dots on the right of the graph shows post-war chaos, and their effect goes beyond the deaths to the poverty and low quality of life in the failed states they produce.
Another reason the dots are smaller is that medical intervention is vastly improved, and tactics have adapted to that by using small arms to wound rather than kill enemy soldiers so their resources are tapped to evacuate them. Not more peaceful, just less deadly, and only until the nukes fly.
We can't possibly be looking at the same graph. Did you actually click on the link?
War is much less deadly than it used to be. You can't possibly look at the stats and think otherwise.
It's art. I wrote the lyrics.
There is 0 chance I am going to re-do the song right now.
I appreciate that you listened to my song, I really do.
But think about it like this:
I am no different than any other artist.
50 Cent. Ariana Grande. Michael Buble. Or some guy you've never heard of.
I don't compare myself to any of them. Do you criticize their lyrics?
No because the first 3 are mainstream and have lots of fans.
You can go an criticize their lyrics though if you want. All 3 are on Twitter. I am not so you can only criticize mine on here.
I wrote that song in 2016. That was me expressing myself at that point in time.
I can reflect on that song now because it's 2.5 years later.

Agreed.
The research regarding drinking alcohol is controversial but leaning towards the less the better.

And thus there is zero chance that you will have any success whatsoever with it.
LOL at your comparing yourself to successful artists. Whether or not you think their lyrics are better or worse that yours, the fact is that they are saying things that someone wants to hear and/r which resonate with people.
There is ZERO chance of that in your case, because your lyrics are predicatable, cliche'd and have the emotional and intellectual depth of a car park puddle. They are beneath the level of a competent nine year old and don't even have the saving grace of being catchy, because you are not self-aware enough to realise that in the absence of an ablitly to imbue substance you could at least compensate by injecting some style.

Maybe focus on your own?

Why "Get uncomfortable (heat/cold exposure)"?
I used to do environmental testing on electronic equipment. One of the test was a temperature cycle, which raised and lowered the temperature every few minutes to simulate the temperature cycle in a day. By doing this we were able to estimate in a few days how the equipment would age over a couple of days. From this experience, I figured that if you worked a job where you would travel from a cold to warm environment throughout the day (like in and out of a meat locker) your phone might deteriorate quicker, because its aging faster.
Assuming that a temperature cycle would also contract and expand the body like equipment, too much heat/cold exposure could age you faster. Also, this type of stress would most likely make you more susceptable to colds and the flu that could also stress the body. This added stress is likely to shorten your life, just as the traditional "bread winner" dies sooner that the stay at home spouse.

I meant to say "... estimate in a few days how the equipment would age over a couple of YEARS."

It only counts if the listener can tough out the whole song. I couldn't.
