Technically the Singularity will happen, just not the way some nerds jack off to when they think about it. All the Singularity is is a point in time when you have better-than-human intelligence that creates new things. At that point you just can't predict at all what's gonna happen from there on, as we haven't experienced it.
But yeah, life extension is also very probable, quite soon.

So while you can't live forever (heat death) you can expect to live indefinitely, whether hundreds, thousands, millions or billions of years. It all depends on the technology and the circumstances you find yourself in.

I swear to Sagan if one more person says only rich people will be able to afford a relatively inexpensive synthesized medicine I will rip off your nuts, blend them and force-feed you them through an IV drip mixed with the aging cure.

...I wasn't implying that it was impossible. I posted Aubrey specifically because of his quest to cure aging.

"Every valuable human being must be a radical and a rebel, for what he must aim at is to make things better than they are. "
-- Niels Bohr

We are living in the first instance of human history where age extension beyond standard biological limits becomes more than some magic golden elixir and we can understand the processes that lead to our decay.

Our progress in technology and science as a human race is staggering, even with all the bullshit holding it back.
Take the last 20 years. Thousands of new medicines, gene therapy, dozens of vaccines, cloth weaves that are waterproof so that when you spill your beer you don't get wet, novel methods of synthesizing all sorts of stuff, plastics that are stronger than steel, new semiconductors.... Then there are advances in cosmetics, and in automobiles, aeronautics, and power generation (clean coal tech, nuclear materials tech). Major advances in smelting and refining procedures. Mathematical methods for brewing alcohols more efficiently and with better flavours. Sports gear is not even comparable. Modern paper lasts much longer, looks much better, and is much cheaper... then there is e-ink technology. DVDs. The compressor in your refrigerator uses a completely different design. So does your hot water tank.

You just take all this stuff for granted. Almost everything you wear, eat, sleep on, and masturbate to has been revolutionized in the last 20 years.

20 years ago, we had eight channels on TV. Eight. We'd just upgraded to cable, giving us four extra channels. Buying shelves for your house was a major expense... you couldn't just drop $10 at IKEA. Our car was a monstrous hunk of steel that got boiling hot inside in the summer, and had frost on the inside all winter. The rear windshield was held onto the frame by a sort of tar, which would melt and drip in the heat.

"This world is yours. Shape it or someone else will."

But not for potentially hundreds, thousands, or millions of years thanks to technological advancements and things like the Manhattan Beach Project.
