The conversation about long life and what immortal people would do with the time reminds me of Jon Bois' speculative fiction "What football will look like in the future," which I strongly recommend reading: https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football

Le tout nouveau testament/The Brand New Testament is a good film, sort of on this theme

That sounds right. Here’s the article we were discussing if youre interested in reading: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/public/the-last-mortals-immortality/amp/. It’s more about the philosophy than the science, but interesting to think about

I've been thinking about longevity alot. So anyway - I think the science around telomeres is what yall were thinkin of maybe?
"Yet, each time a cell divides, the telomeres get shorter. When they get too short, the cell can no longer divide; it becomes inactive or "senescent" or it dies. This shortening process is associated with aging, cancer, and a higher risk of death "
