I liked this post and welcome your revised writing style too.

Just getting rid of the chronic conflicts, doesn't get rid of health problems and routine distractions

Being a life extension enthusiast I'm curious about your opinions on health topics.

I personally feel that there are many huge low-hanging fruits in life extension. However, I'm a bit reluctant to present my points because of my past experience that health discussions are prone to become very convoluted and flame-ish, with citations of contradicting studies flying around - even if those involved in the debate are honest, knowledgeable experts. On the other hand it's possible that the high standards of LW would make things smoother.
