So if you say, what are the foundational tools needed for? to build a smartphone, right? You go through from silicon manufacturing to all the various layers. If you then go through the same exercise and say, what layers would we need to solve aging? Genomics and single-cell manipulation and epigenetic reprogramming and gene therapy and gene. So if you go through and make that list,

We basically have all of the primary tools needed to substantially slow down the speed of aging, regenerate organs, and reverse age. Now, those things are in the maturation process now. We don't have them as clinical therapies. But if you just basically say, what theoretically would we need to have mastered as the basic tool set so that with advanced technological ability, we could solve it?

It's there. Like that's, this is what, when I sold Braintree Venmo, that was my thesis is that we have the ability to engineer reality at the level of atoms and molecules and organisms. So I started investing in synthetic biology, genomics, nanotech, synthetic or computational therapeutics, like at this base layer.

If you look at the advances over the past couple of years, like AlphaFold, you know, they just showed they can model out the molecular interaction across all molecules or protein folding. And so, yes, all the pieces are falling into place. It's not obvious. You have to kind of squint to see it. But the statement here is not that we're going to move faster than the speed of light.

That's not known how to accomplish that in physics. But we have an adjacency. There's a jellyfish that is immortal. We know that biology has solved for immortality. So it can be done in biology. It's a different species. But all the pieces are there for this to happen.

Yeah, I mean, I certainly appreciate my upbringing a lot. Yeah, I was taught to skip classes. temporary pleasure for long-term gain. So definitely had that advantage of building those muscles when I was young. And that doesn't mean I've not been without my vices. Like when I was building as an entrepreneur, my willpower, when you don't get good sleep, your willpower craters.

Like your ability to resist eating a cookie goes to very low. And so I certainly had my own challenges with willpower and self-control. But yeah, I mean, at some point in my life, I did have at least some training in the idea of foregoing short-term pleasure for long-term gain.
