Yeah, we have we have different, certainly different methods in order to communicate our our thoughts about health and and. death and dying in our lifespans, et cetera.

Yeah. You know, it's interesting, too, is how we today react to the diseases of our time versus diseases that took place a long time ago. So imagine just for a second, you have this idea of immortality in your head. But you're living in a time where there's a lot of infectious disease going around, like typhoid or malaria or tuberculosis, cholera, diphtheria. COVID.

Yeah, okay, so that's one of our times. Yeah. And then, okay, then you fast forward. And by the way, many of those... diseases that I mentioned, and there are others, were able to be reduced down to that causative agent and we could vaccinate against it. So we provided protection in order to enhance our immortality. Then you fast forward to the diseases of our time,

That we're living with, you know, cancer, heart disease, where there isn't, you know, a magic bullet, so to speak. And what we have is things that we try to tell people about. in order to combine, hopefully will be some sort of a vaccination. So you take cholesterol medications or you exercise, but that combined components of these things, we call it the synergistic effect.

There's many, many variables that are causing the disease. But if you address them all somehow or other, you're getting this new kind of vaccination that will keep you living longer.

Exercise until you're blue in the face or take this medication or that medication will help you. So we're dealing with differences today than we did yesterday.

Well, yeah. I mean, you know, it... there's always, um, a creative component to, um, trying to keep us all younger, healthier, uh, live longer. And, um, And, you know, for a lot of us that are, you know, in the public health field or the medical field, we're kind of driven by research behind it all. Okay. Just don't go with it just because somebody says it's, you know, it's good. Okay.

You know, I was driven by this. I was reading this the other day in the paper. Circadia bugs, you know, these bugs that come out. Yeah. Once every 17 years, they hatch and come out again. And I'm thinking, God, if we were all circadia bugs, just think about that for a second.

All of a sudden, you come out, you take a look at the world, 17 years later, every 17 years, you come out and you take a look at the world, you say, jeez. what the hell is going on here? It's like, what did I miss by hibernating for so long here? And maybe we should adjust this life cycle that we're on because we can take advantage of some of these things going forward.

But it's kind of an interesting little creature.

But it's kind of an interesting little creature.

Yeah. Which brings me to this point about immortality. Life experiences and our overall experience, whether it be just life experience, work experience, or what have you, and how does it affect your perception of living? What's your sense of that, Clarence, as you've gotten older?
