Dr. Jeffrey Gladden argues that health declines exponentially while our ability to impact society peaks, creating a tragic mismatch. He advocates investing in longevity and health optimization to extend your productive years, calling it the highest return on investment possible.
Aging is an exponential decline, not a linear decline, right? Biologically, it's an exponential challenge, if you will, opportunity. On the other hand, when it comes to, you know, the impact that we make and the opportunities that we have in front of us, it's an exponential curve in the opposite direction, right? You have more opportunities now than you did 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. So the tragedy of life, as I see it, is when those lines intersect, exponential decline of health, Versus exponential enhancement of impact and opportunities. And I think what's exciting to me, and the reason that we focus on living young for a lifetime and making 100 the new 30 and things like that that you're familiar with, is because it enables us to have that exponential increase in impact and opportunity continue to rise. And so when you think about the investment of time, attention, and resources into optimizing longevity and health and living young and things like this, There has never been a better return on investment. I've made some good investments. You've made some good investments, but there's never been a better return on investment than that one, right?
