And so I just want to hear from my younger colleagues, their thoughts about immortality. What do they think? I mean, what's their worldview? Because we don't have to agree. We just have to have a conversation. So my fellow colleagues, younger colleagues, not Stan and I are out. What are your thoughts about immortality?

We just have to have a conversation. So my fellow colleagues, younger colleagues, not Stan and I are out. What are your thoughts about immortality?

Well, I agree with you. I think that, I mean, what you're saying resonates with me, Sharon. And I think that, you know, as an observation, I see that. I see that it's kind of like a maturity that you convey. But, you know, I was thinking about this issue of immortality. I remember as a kid, I hope I'm... I'm not a history major, but do you remember the stories? Was it Ponce de Leon?

I'm trying to use my Spanish here. Wasn't he the guy that was looking for the fountain of youth?

I'm trying to use my Spanish here. Wasn't he the guy that was looking for the fountain of youth?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was one of the stories that I, you know, as a kid, I just kept reading over and over again. This guy, he kept looking for the fountain of youth someplace in Florida, someplace, I don't know, in America, like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was one of the stories that I, you know, as a kid, I just kept reading over and over again. This guy, he kept looking for the fountain of youth someplace in Florida, someplace, I don't know, in America, like that.

But that whole idea about immortality and the various ways in which it's conveyed and portrayed is so, it just, in a variety of different ways, it comes at us in different forms. And so whether we use the term immortality or not, we're always thinking about it because there's always a way in which we look at the way in which we take risk. You know, I'm not a big rich take.

I mean, I don't do crazy stuff, you know, and I don't know that I'm trying to be immortal. It's just that that's just my view of the world.

I mean, I don't do crazy stuff, you know, and I don't know that I'm trying to be immortal. It's just that that's just my view of the world.

Yeah. I tell you the truth, this honest truth. I never thought I was going to be 16. Okay. I never thought I was going to be past 21. And then when I hit 28, I didn't care. But I don't necessarily think that we associate the word immortality to safety. I think we associate, and again, this is my perception, we associate death with immortality. Because for many people, it's not about living life.

Because for many people, it's not about living life.

it's how do we live longer? I mean, you know, you're in a structure in a society where many times, whether it's something that you want to think about or not, it's always before you, this whole idea about being safe, you know, being stereotyped, being put into a type that you always are conscious of. I think Yeah, I think that that's part of it, Stan.

Like I said, this is health chatter, and so we talk about some things sometimes that are very difficult. I'm going to tell a story. I feel like I need to tell this story because it's real for me, and this whole idea about Living a life that you feel is going to be fulfilling and satisfying. When I was eight, though, I think I may have mentioned this once before.

I lived in Chicago on the West Side. And I remember I lived across the street from a park. And I remember one time walking across the street to the park. And I said to myself, since a white man will never let me be anything, I will never let people know how smart I am. And I remember at that point, I actually saw myself splitting in two. I actually saw myself walking.
