Is it possible for us to become immortal in a sense and to extend our life, maybe not forever, but farther than we could ever imagine? I think this is the decade that we're making a real inflection in that. The question is how old could we live? So I remember when I was in medical school, I watched a television show on long-lived sea life that certain species of whales, bowhead whales could live 200 years and Greenland sharks could live like 500 years and have babies at 200 years. Oh my goodness. And so the question was why why could they live that long and why couldn't we? And I remember thinking to myself that it's either a hardware problem or a software problem and we're going to have the ability to solve that. I think this is the decade that we are learning how to solve that. So do I think we're immortal? Probably not. Do I think we could make it to 120 consistently? 150? Yeah, I think we could.
