Comment on The 1900s
UmeU@lemmy.world 2 months agoThat’s a long and boring response.
The evidence that no one can live past 123 is that no one has ever lived past 123. We have a sample size of billions on that statistic.
Some low quality science journal says that ‘maybe we could live forever, or like, 150 or something’ and I say ‘cool story bro’.
I can imagine that it might be true, but that does not make it possible.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
People like you are why Iemmy is almost as bad as Reddit… talking in circles, saying nothing.

So you’re saying there’s an absences of evidence?
We also have sciences showing that life expectancy is constantly increasing. Even you linked an article which relied on a study that noted that as a fact. They showed that the increase is now slower than it used to be. But it is still there. Thus, it would be preposterous to hypothesise that the current record for longest lives won’t be broken constantly as life expectancy increases.
Observed maximum life span isn’t synonymous with life expectancy.
You have no science showing that, the only science you even indirectly linked support exactly what I am saying, and I just quoted Wikipedia, which uses sources.
I literally laughed out loud. You’re speaking out of your arse, just like I said.
