That's another huge killer, and I just really got lucky there, and I eat healthy almost all the time. That's a big deal.
So no, I just think about your prostate. Yeah. Nobody lost. Nobody found on that one. I never cared to check that. No doubt has taken a hell of a beating over the years. And so while I did it relatively intelligently, I probably did too much. I mostly didn't use super high doses by bodybuilding standards, like kind of only a few times used high doses.

I would have used less had I had another chance to go around. And in the future, as I continue to compete in bodybuilding into my early 40s, I'm probably never going to go much over 500 total milligrams. Because to me, it seems my anabolic sensitivity is so high that I just don't need much more than that.

And north of that, my psychological side effects are so nasty, it's absolutely just not worth it to me anymore, especially with career and stuff like that. And I'm a little bit more known for my brain than my body. And so it's important to Keep higher levels of intelligence. No doubt I've degraded my fluid intelligence substantially from what it could have been. Sad.

I do have one hell of a hedge to all this that most people don't, and I'm going to sound like a total insane person when I say it. I believe it is a high probability that in the early to mid-2030s, We will see the fusion of informatics and biology powered by AI such that we will be able to point by point re-engineer the entire human organism at a variety of levels.

And undue damage like was never possible before. So I never exposed myself to as much statistical risk as would have made an even chance of me making it to like 50. I have a think even chance of making it into my 60s. I'll be in my 60s around the mid 2040s.

And most of the future prediction models say that our ability to contend with our biology will be so absurd that there may not be a line between biology and technology anymore. So to put this in simpler terms, I think major categories of disease will be completely solved in the 2030s. I think aging reversal will be mastered in the mid to late 2030s if I had to take a guess.

And I think that if I make it to the early to mid 2030s, then I'm at longevity escape velocity and looks like I succeeded. If I die before then, I'm totally comfortable with all of the choices that I've ever made. And it's been one hell of a run. And I think understanding...

Your own mortality and coming to grips with it as important as any human person, but especially with the risk I've taken with my body, never surprised me. If I croak from a heart attack an hour after we finish filming this, I won't die surprised. I'll die from a heart attack, and I'll be like, this is it.

And that's to say, not to wave my own flag or anything, don't do shit to your body without really thinking through what you're doing. Like a race car driver. Nobody gets into that car and goes, this is the safest thing I could be doing. What are you, nuts? Nah, but most of them have come to grips with the fact that, look, I could die, but I'm good. And they're well compensated.

It's been worth it to them. And most importantly, they did what they really wanted. Up until recently, that has become at least to me and many futurists apparent that some of us listening to this, probably most people listening to this may never die. Up until recently, that was not apparent. And you kind of had to figure out like, how do I want to live my life?
