Amongst other things, singularitarians believe that death, being just a physical process, will eventually be able to be overcome. After the singularity, ‘humans’ will be able to live forever, or at least until the death of the universe.

What many scientists believe, and not just singularitarians, is that we could be on the brink of extending human life span quite radically. Many singularitarians, and others, are keen to live long enough to be able to enjoy the fruits of future anti-aging medicine, and even the singularity itself. One such singularitarian has even published a book called ‘how to live long enough to live forever’.

The singularity hub article contains some similar advice. If you want to live past 100 and to experience a time when centenarians might look and feel 18 again, then you should start living healthily now.

The gist of the article is that there are three ways to live a long life :

1/ Live stress free – avoid unnecessary stress and try to have a strong social support network.
2/ Cut out risky unhealthy behaviours such as smoking, alcohol, and eating high fat foods.
3/ Hope that you are genetically blessed with longevity genes – of course you can’t do anything about whether you have these genes, but soon scientists will be able to mimic the effects of them through drugs and other means.
