Eldering™ is early-onset successor to adulting. Begins at 30. You heard it here first. Defined as retirement behaviors kicking in after life batters you too much, too soon. Example usage: “I went straight from domestic cozy to eldering, without even a pause at healthy adulting”

You’ve heard of “real age” right where they measure your body’s aging indicators? Weirding prematurely ages you by real-age measure I suspect.

An SF trope in near-future dystopia works is longevity inequality, where the rich live to be 200 and the poor die at say a pre-modern 40-50. Possibly, the two chronos numbers will be equal in real-age kairos terms. Information content of life endured.

There was that old work out of Santa Fe showing that the number of heartbeats in a lifetime is constant from vole to elephant. Has that held up? Then it would be rational to engage in any and all behaviors that lower average heart rate, to solve for longevity.
