As an undergrad at UCSD around 1984-85, I attended an evening talk on life extension.

The speaker said with our knowledge at the time, it was possible for humans to live much longer, healthy lives well into our 120th year or so.

A voice in mid-audience said “oh, great, we’ll NEVER get rid of the department chairman” (who happened to be in attendance).

The laughter was immediate, raucous, and followed by sporadic outbreaks as the comment was repeated to those who didn’t quite catch it.

One of the funniest things I’d ever heard in school.

Here’s a thought: George Soros, Nancy Pelosi, Nadler, Schitt, live to 500?

Yeah, I’m a buzzkill.
