For example, like 150, 200, 500, 1,000, like some number we don't even know that breaks our brains.
So it's just not like a 70 year expectancy, right?
It's something much longer.
And it could be the case that as our lifespans are extended, they get longer and longer and longer and longer.
We can't quite see the end horizon.
So that's what I'm suggesting is we are at that point with technology, we may be the first generations of humans who don't die.
Now, if that's the case, everything changes.
And so that's what I've been trying to do is to say that if that is the case,
how does a human behave?
And so that's the whole, that's why it's so controversial is because you take status quo and it's like, if we're all going to die anyways, well, bro, you might as well, right?
Like do all the stuff people do today.
So like right now, like you basically, if everybody dies, then you're playing a game of YOLO.
And so then your game of YOLO is like, okay, what am I willing to, well, I'm willing to trade life for what?
And so for example, the world I came from, entrepreneurship, the playbook is you don't sleep, you don't take care of your health, you run yourself ragged, you try very hard to make a whole bunch of money, but in doing that, you burn yourself to a crisp, right?
And then you end up and you're like fat
You're like 40 years older than when you started.
Your family's falling apart.
You're a crisp or you don't have one.
