🧵1/14 I heard a great question today! "Where are all the billionaires who are terrified of dying?" -@tferriss (Interviewing @mkaeberlein) Combined, billionaires have $10T but invest less than 0.01% in longevity. 👇Want to know 9 reasons why? Read on!

🧵1/n I have bad news and good news The bad news: With an avg. lifespan of ~80 and physical peak at 25-30, most of your life will be spent in physical decline. If you're like 90%+ of people, you'll be ill prepared & experience surprise and confusion as your body breaks down.

What can an anti-aging moonshot look like? 50K scientists/doers in a “los alamos” @ $100k/year for a 7-year commit + labs Cost? $70B (Manhattan Project: $20B) @elonmusk, if you fund this you’d get time to explore space + still be rich as Buffett Retweet to encourage Elon!

למה כשכל זה יסתיים? למה יש פחד להגיד שהבנאדם חייב לעוף כדי שישראל תשרוד! בדיוק כמו שהעיפו את צ׳מברלין. שיתפטר עכשיו. כל רגע שהוא בשלטון אנשים ייפגעו.

6/n History shows that small groups of determined people can achieve breakthroughs beyond our wildest dreams. It's up to us to come together and flip this script. And if we do, I'm convinced we have a shot!

2/n It will sometimes feel slow but increasingly be acute. School doesn't prepare you for it. Society promotes an illusion of eternal youth or offers distractions to avoid thinking about the unpleasantness of aging and death. I get it. I want to avoid thinking about it too.

1/ Some scientists do research. Others explain it. Eleanor Sheekey does both. She’s decoding longevity on YouTube, in the lab, and at Vitalist Bay's Longevity Science Conference on April 12-13. From senescent cells to epigenetic reprogramming, here’s why she’s a must-follow:

1/ Martin Borch Jensen dropped out of academia to solve aging. Now, his company is testing hundreds of aging therapies at once—inside living animals. Come to Vitalist Bay (April 12-13) to hear him live. Here’s why his work is a paradigm shift in longevity research:

3/n Even worse, our sick-care system spends trillions on diseases resulting from aging and nearly nothing to help us avoid or slow aging itself. It's completely upside down. Often, trying to fix these diseases is like propping up a house with rotten foundations.
