And they're often a nuisance, and we just ship them off, you know, whatever. We'd never do that with Confucius or Lao Tzu. So, yeah, I mean, I am not an immortalist. You know, I don't have escape velocity dreams per se. I think on some level we're pre-coded to die. I think life wouldn't be life without death. There sort of exists within a unity of opposites.

But I, you know, Atul Gawande wrote this wonderful book called... It was being mortal, I think it was. And in the book, he said, yeah, we only lived to about 48 or 49 years old at the beginning of the 1900s. But when we died, we just went right off the cliff. We didn't have this extended, protracted period of misery. Yeah.

So what I, my dream and, you know, this came about, this sort of vision came about really in relationship to my children. So I have three girls. And when they were growing up, I read voluminously to them at night. Back when their bedtime was before mine. Now that's flipped, right? Now they're teenagers.

But I would read all those books, you know, Chronicles of Narnia and The Witch of Blackbird Pond, Island Blue Dolphins, like, tons of fairy tales. And like the fairy tales would always generally like include like some scullery made that got three wishes at the end, whatever. So one night I was reading to Micah, she's my littlest one, and she wouldn't go to sleep, couldn't go to sleep.

So she finally like stopped me and said, hey daddy, you know, if you have one wish, if you were a prince, What would your wish be? And, of course, at that juncture, I was like, I wish you'd just go to fucking sleep. And she was like, she's a very little, tiny creature, but she had a very heavy arm, and she would always, like, slap it over me like a parole officer or something.

So I could never, like, I'd always skirt to the edge of the bed, and she's like, I'm not asleep yet. So I was like, okay, okay, well, let me think about it. So... I meditated on that question. And then a couple nights later, I rotated back to Micah after reading to the other girls. And I said, you know, hey, Micah, I think I have an answer to your question. She's like, oh, okay.

Well, Daddy, what would be your one wish? And so I said, okay, Micah. So a long time from now, okay, in the year 2088, I'll be 117 and your mom, you know how I fancy older women, she's going to be 118. And that will be the year that we celebrate 100 years together. And it's not unfathomable. 37 years under our belt at this point, we were together when we were 17 and 18 years old.
