I think there's room to do a lot of good.
So today the decision is made.
Today people, they lose energy.
They're deteriorating.
And some people will feel like, hey, this is my time.
And that's the natural envelope that our biology has delivered.
And it's a miracle that we can live
80 years, right?
It's crazy.
know feel joy anymore or learn well yeah maybe that's you know you know back to my opt-in opt-out you know like i wouldn't want to be trapped forever you know where you could never choose and then you know you lived in that hell of of you know gray bland despair like so you know maybe that that's a different you know sort of equation that we need to think about in that you know in that world
But today, before you want to, for a lot of people, you lose the physical energy, the mental energy, the acuity, all of the things that would have allowed you to keep learning.
So I'm not feeling any kind of asymptotic approach to boring.
So think of all of the used wisdom and particularly if at 225 they still had a youthful vitality.
Some of the reason that young people don't want to be around old people is it's kind of a wet blanket or it's like a non-joyous kind of thing.
But I had some very energetic 90 plus year old relatives that I loved being with till the end when I was 20.
And it's interesting because at 20, we're not really burdened with that midlife crisis that you kind of think you'll live forever.
And it's not that bad.
But, like, you don't realize how good you had it.
Like, with, you know, the fittest body and, you know, sort of all of the freedom.
But, you know, do I think that not feeling the end makes you not appreciate the current?
