“That is actually a real kicker when it comes longevity, because it means even if we completely eliminated atherosclerosis from the population it would still only extend people’s healthy lifespan and therefore people’s total lifespan by three or four years.”

“The fact that all the diseases of old age have a progression that is exponentially related to age. In other words your chance of having Alzheimer’s, for example, at age seventy-five is twice that at age seventy. And your chance of having it age eighty is twice what it was at age seventy-five.”

“So exiled have even basic questions of freedom become from the political vocabulary that they sound musty and ridiculous, and vulnerable to the ultimate badge of shame-'That's so 60's!'-the entire decade having been mocked so effectively that social protest seems outlandish and 'so last century,' just another style excess like love beads and Nehru jackets. No, rebellion won't pose a problem for this social order.”
