Also, fuck 'longevity.' The population of the world has doubled during my lifetime and this is a Bad Thing which is wiping out vast numbers of other species. More about our socioeconomic and political structure than raw population numbers. Every piece of meat, for example, require the conversion of plant matter into meat. There's going to be energy loss. If we eat more plants and less meat, we would pollute less, and less meat animals and presumably more wild animals. My idea of biological success is no living to the greatest ago possible but having sufficient fitness and autonomy to be physically and mentally active while I'm alive. Unless you die in an accident, you're going to live longer due to being healthier.
