I had an interesting conversation today. A colleague and I were exploring the following hypothetical question: If you could live forever, due to some new scientific breakthrough, and you could choose whichever age you wanted to be forever, what age would you choose?
But here’s the kicker: You can choose a physical age and a mental age, and they can be different. So, hypothetically speaking, how far apart would be your physical age and your mentally age in your ideal scenario of a forever future?
How would a frozen mental age work? Would brain plasticity be gone? Can’t wrap my head around that … What’s a brain without change?
