many people are into longevity and there's one area that's overlooked and very important - longevity of your connectome. quick recap - connectome is roughly how the brain is wired together. not brain health on cellular level, but thought patterns. there's a lot of research that the connectome degrades regardless of biological substrate. it can either become too rigid, old people often think they have figured everything out and stopped learning. but the other extreme is as bad - similar to overtraining in non-biological neural networks, which removes the ability to generalize.
one of the first steps towards connectome longevity is positive and long-term outlook. forget "I am too old, I'm gonna die soon anyway". you might not. we don't know how we're gonna reach the longevity escape velocity - repairing our current bodies, exchangable parts and replacement organs, partial cybernetic organisms, or connectome virtualization (switching substrate to sillicon). there will probably be a combination of all of these. but connectome longevity is important for all of these scenarios, because connectome is the one thing you're taking into the future.
