I am Malcolm Collins, a long-time EA who was only recently convinced to take a shot at posting on the forums by one of our students. My core passions are trying to rebuild the education system with CollinsInstitute.org and trying to preserve the EA sociological profile in the face of demographic collapse (Pronatalist.org)—because right now the EA meme is liable to extinguish itself through negatively modifying the fitness of individuals with the sociological profile that makes them amenable to it, which is . . . not good.
Education: Stanford, MBA; St Andrews, Neuroscience

Day job: I run Travelmax.com with my wife which we acquired via the search fund model. In our spare time we do “secret society work” (my wife was formerly Managing Director of Dialog and we were tapped to lay the foundations for Schmidt Futures’ Act 2 Network).
What is your estimate on a timeline for a person of average income to afford said cure? What year do you estimate it would be available? (I ask because while I agree with you even basic medical care is not available to most people in the world right now. I suppose it depends on the mechanism of action of the aging cure—a viral vector might be inexpensive to produce in mass.)
