This actually these people actually do exist.

And this really is quite a dominant sense in in not just Silicon Valley, but it's kind of spreading out a little bit further.

So Brian, I describe as an example of a biohacker, somebody who lives by the data, right?

And Brian's intention is not to necessarily live forever as a de facto, not to become immortal, but simply not to die today.

The way that I'm going to do this is I'm going to hyper optimize my body and I'm going to do everything with numbers.

which means that I can then devote all of the health stuff to an algorithm so that it can keep him the same age, biological age, for as long as possible.

He's really good at branding.

I think, you know, his religion, as he describes it, don't die, I think is part of the I will not die today.

And the reason why that exists is because by staying the same biological age today, not chronological, then he won't theoretically get those diseases of aging.

And so his idea is to simply...

live at the same age as long as possible.

So all of the things that would have killed him in the future will be solved by the time he gets there.

And this is everything from cancer, diabetes, heart conditions, all of that, all the way down to the common cold.

Pneumonia will be sorted out.

Sepsis, all of these things that kill people will be sorted.

So if you imagine that escape velocity of a rocket is the rocket needs to have enough velocity, enough speed to escape the Earth's gravitational pull in order to go into space, well, here you need longevity escape velocity.

You need to maintain your age

for as long as possible so you can escape the pull of time.

And that's his approach to immortality.

And that puts a lot of faith in technology.
