Personally, I think we should wait 5-10 years before trying to solve aging.

If you're implying what I think you're implying, just start a rumor that the tech tracks your location, and problem solved...

Forgive me if I'm reaching, but I had absolutely no idea what this discussion was saying. This is my best bet understanding:
User implies we should wait 5-10 years to cure aging. Implication being that we want someone near death to actually die. Shot in the dark because people are boring: guessing Trump or Biden.
Your response seems to imply that all that would be needed to have that person ignore the technology would be to say that it tracks your location. This seems to imply that you assumed they were talking about Trump, because he's associated with conspiratorial thinking.
Did I understand this thread correctly or am I having a stroke?

Completely unrelated to either the GP or GGP. My take was that GGP was making a joke on mathematical induction: wait 5-10 years, and when you get there wait 5-10 years again, etc. So, a roundabout way of saying "just don't do it". To which the GP answered "start a rumor about anti-aging tech invading your privacy", and then even if it gets done, it doesn't get used, so the end result is the same.

You're giving me too much credit for being fair-minded -- ralusek's interpretation is 100% correct :-)

Edit to correct myself: I wasn't thinking of Trump himself, as ralusek seems to be saying. I just meant older q-anon types.
