Using superannuation to pay for nursing home care could be an option for future generations but don't most of the current retirees have houses they bought for a song in the '70s or '80s that they can sell to fund their nursing care?

You work for decades to improve your , maybe climbing the ladder or just being absolutely brilliant at what you do. You get older & suggests you start again at the very bottom of the ladder. Furthermore, if the over 50s take this work where are the younger people supposed to start? What do who need do, what do school leavers do whilst trying to find their feet?

The picture quality of that last clip is awful - I’m having a bad eyesight day today. I mean I always knew that with age it would decline over time but nobody told me that some days you can wake up and it’s just shitty and the day after it’s not so shitty again. I think I need new glasses.

Why our need to learn peaks again in retirement

Finding ways to help older people ‘grow’ and remain productive and engaged over their increasingly longer lives will help us shift from an ageing society to an age-diverse society combining the speed, strength and zest common in younger people with the emotional intelligence and wisdom prevalent in older people: creating possibilities in society that have never existed before.

Lazarus Long here we come!

In a pioneering study, researchers from Harvard Medical School, University of Maine, and MIT have introduced a chemical method for reversing cellular aging. This revolutionary approach offers a potential alternative to gene therapy for age reversal. The findings could transform treatments for age-related diseases, enhance regenerative medicine, and potentially lead to whole-body rejuvenation.
