One-liner: Community funding for a 10,000 USD prize to incentivize public discussion of longevity during the upcoming USA presidential election. Summary In our ongoing mission to promote awareness and understanding of longevity and its impacts, we propose to offer a prize of 10,000 USD. The award …

Isn’t this going to come up with Biden and/or Trump’s age anyways? There have been articles on presidential age for the last couple elections. Just becomes a tool with which to attack the opponents.

The problem is that the bounty success terms are not clearly defined. A reporter might say “hey Joe and Donald, you guys are old. What’s up w that?” and then come seeking the bounty. It’s too vague as presently worded. We could give 10k in Vita to the new longevity lobby (A4LI) in exchange for prom…
