You should respect them. And those stories propagate. Then others are like, I want to have status and I want to be respected and I want to do cool stuff. And so you repeat these patterns of sleep deprivation and harming your health. Now that's just foolishness. Like that, we know from the evidence that you stay up for over 24 hours, you're legally drunk.

Like you're just as intoxicated had you consumed like your 0.08 alcohol level. And so we've really bought into this myth I did myself. And so I ran myself ragged, like just awful, terrible sleep, terrible diet. I was depressed for 10 years. So I was kind of obsessed with killing myself for 10 years. And it was the most awful decade of existence. So that was my starting point.

And so now, I mean, I arguably have the best biomarkers of anyone in the world. I've openly shared all my information. They're publicly posted and arguably down the line, like 10, 15, 20 measurements. And so it's been actually really motivating that if you can start where I was and then turn this hard, others can do the same.

So to me, it's been a really motivating experience that your body is highly responsive to change.

I grew up on biographies. I understand the world through biographies. And I just love reading about people in time and place who are able to snatch out of the ether the future. The future is always present. It's just that it's very hard to see. And then over time, we look back, we're like, oh, of course, that was the future in that moment. And certain people saw it.

And so I came obsessed with this question at 21. What is the future of existence on a time scale a few hundred years into the future? And I basically grappled with that problem for 20 plus years. And I didn't know what to do. So I said, I'm going to go be an entrepreneur. I'm going to make a whole bunch of money. And with that money that I'll try to do something interesting.

So like it's, it's kind of been this like 25 year long journey for me to like, try to identify something that would have the power of changing the course of humanity. And just in the past 12 months, I think it finally all came together.

So I was 43. I'm now 47. So four years ago.

I wish I would have been an embryo selected based upon genetic markers.

I wish I would have been an embryo selected based upon genetic markers.

Yeah. I mean, like now, I mean, when you're going through fertility, you create a bunch of embryos and choose the best embryo, you know, like along certain dimensions. And, you know, I, I'm like most humans on the planet where I was just born to the typical process of But now you can really go in that earlier stage. And so I wish it was happened before conception.

And then I wish growing up, you know, like my, I grew up in Utah, which it was very much a culture of sugar cereal, you know, soda, excessive sun exposure without sun protection, terrible sleep. Like I just grew up in a culture that was
