Statistically speaking, anti-aging isn't going to be the defining factor in your mortality, if that's what you want to do with your extended lifetime.
- pointytrees 10y agoHah, yea, good point. Honestly though, I live in northern California, and I have climbed a good handful of the 10k peaks around here, but there are just so many more I have not had the time to visit. So many parts of the Pacific Crest Trail that I havn't been able to hike. And that's just stuff in a 2 hour drive. I've climbed a few dozen of the Tahoe peaks, but there are so many more to do. Over the past few years, I've probably gotten to a mountain top once every 4 weeks. Some months I go every weekend, other months I get busy with other things. I never want to do Everest. But, there are some 14k in Denver that might be fun. Believe me, I'll hike more trails and mountains than most people, but there are just so many hikes, and not enough weekends.

- stickfigure 10y agoI'm disappointed that this isn't the top-rated response, because I think it's totally fair. The parent post resonated with me incredibly -- I want to do all the things. Yes, I fully expect to die in a motorcycle accident far from modern health care. I'm ok with that. I suspect the parent would agree. "I f*cked up spectacularly" is an acceptable way to go. "I watched a lot of TV" is not. 80 years is not long enough to attempt all the spectacular things.
