It is interesting that people work on increasing longevity, but not on increasing appetite for life. I think the median appetite for life is about ~30y, and if you live to be ~70, you have a problem. Most of us solve it by rationing our appetite and acting dead in between.

“Appetite for life” is hard to define. It’s part of the reason I’ve been exploring elan vital. Bergson had an angle on memory/action/novelty that has lots of echoes in Schmidhuber. Proust (a Bergsonian) is clear example of appetite stopping at 30 and shifting to memory reruns.
