Prioritizing Longevity and Biomedical Research over Military Spending
The greatest threat to individuals is illness and aging, not foreign governments or domestic interests. To address this, focus and investment should be directed towards biomedical research, longevity, and advanced technologies like synthetic biology. Efforts like the Vitalism movement aim to establish a religious-like community with aligned values to drive progress in these fields. The current regulatory frameworks for drug approval in the US and Europe are criticized for inefficiency, corruption, and delayed access to life-saving medications. Advocates propose exploring alternative, possibly free-market-based regulatory structures to expedite the availability of efficacious drugs. Additionally, the restrictions imposed by centralized regulators, comparable to government control over recreational drugs, hinder individuals from accessing potentially beneficial treatments available in other jurisdictions at lower costs.
