In this interview segment, the speakers discuss the ambitious goals of the Healthspan Prize, which rewards age‑reversal breakthroughs rather than incremental longevity extensions. They highlight Martine Rothblatt’s work on regenerating the thymus using a person’s own induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), noting that the thymus naturally atrophies in the twenties and is critical for immune health. The conversation touches on NewLimit’s roadmap to tackle major tissues, including the thymus, and the desire for muscle rejuvenation, which could synergize with GLP‑1 therapies. The dialogue concludes with a broader philosophical framing: just as death and taxes have been constants for humanity, the speakers claim that scientific advances will “crack death” while Bitcoin will “crack taxes.”

My favorite comment from the life extension world is that the baby that's going to live to 1,000 years old is already alive, and that just blows your mind.
And I agree with you, right? The, the whole basis of the— of our Healthspan Prize was not to be a longevity prize where you have to wait 30 years to award a winner. It's an age reversal. You know, one of my favorite things right now, working to get Martine Rothblatt on the pod— she has been working on restoring your thymus. So going from your own iPSC stem cells, your induced pluripotent stem cells, and regrowing a thymus. And of course, you lose your thymus in your 20s completely, and it's one of the most important organs for regrowing. Have you been thinking about thymus, uh, capabilities at NewLimit?
It's not one of the ones we've targeted yet, but, uh, yeah, I think it's, it's on the list somewhere. We're gonna have to get to all the major tissues at some point.
I was arguing with Jacob, I want muscle rejuvenation, please.
Yeah, I mean, that would pair nicely with the GLP-1s, right? There's been two things true in the world for the history of humanity: death and taxes. This will crack death, and Bitcoin is going to crack taxes. So there you go.
