Sergey Young argues that longevity isn't about adding frail years at the end of life, but extending healthy, productive ones. Centenarians are 70% genetically lucky, not role models. Modern tech like early cancer diagnostics can add 10-20 years of productive life if made accessible to everyone.
Bulletproof radio, a state of high performance. One of the myths that you have in the book that I love you busting is that longevity is dangerous and selfish. Why is longevity not dangerous and selfish? Well, I think the mental model of aging that we have today in our mind is pretty outdated. So like when you think about longevity we are assuming that we all gonna add last five, ten years of our life. When you are in the most fragile state, when you require a lot of support. And like every technology that I know and that we invest in is working on inserting 10, 20, 25 years right in the middle of your life. Just extendingly productive part of it. So that's one second. I also think we have a wrong role models here. Like we always looking in centenarians, people who already live 100 plus years on this planet and we. We just trying to learn from them. I actually think and there's a lot of studies supporting that they just been lucky in genetic lottery. And that's why it's obviously it's combination of environmental lifestyle changes predetermined by the environment where they live in. But otherwise I think it was near Barzila which has done study on centenarians and like 70% of of their secret is is genetic luck. So therefore like the whole model of longevity that we have is based on the wrong assumptions and we are well pretty social species and whatever we and wherever we invest in for longevity Vision Fund is making amazing changes and transformation of current healthcare procedures and interventions and solving problems like efficiency gains that we got from investing into early cancer diagnostic or in affordable ultrasound devices is like the improvement is 10 to 20 not percent but times. So therefore it's. We're going to democratize this whole access to the health care. It's not going to be. I'm not interested in building something for like a billionaires with people who can pay millions of dollars to live longer. I'm actually interested in bringing the scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs almost like a guarantee to everyone access to the most efficient and technology based version of healthcare. So this is. Well that's going to happen.
