🤣 OK I better pin this! The phrasing about my age was tricky but absolutely true. I had the same reaction you did when a fiendish relative sprang it on me earlier this year. When you START your first decade, you're 0 years old. Second decade? 10. Seventh decade? 60. You *end* your first decade at 10, second at 20, and seventh at 70. Thanks in advance for being good sports.
I'm a huge Bryan Johnson fan. You painted him as a selfish billionaire only interested in preserving his own life. Not true. He spends millions on research, an extensive medical team of 30 doctors and various other specialists, and then gives all the results of his endeavours away for free.100% transparency. He publishes everything. A few of his more exotic therapies are beyond the reach of most of us, but as Bryan himself says, "A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, daily exercise, and good sleep hygiene, and avoiding vices, will achieve 80% of what I've achieved." I would add that a few air purifiers, a water filter, a red-light panel, a chilly pad (to moderate your sleep temperature), and his supplement stack is only a few hundred dollars and well within reach for most of us.

Brian Johnson is a vampiric loon with a cardboard cutout of his naked self at his front door. There is exactly no way to tell apart which of the fifty concurrent obsessions he engages in are helpful, harmful or useless, nor would there be any way to generalise to other people - that's partly because a sample size of one is trash, and partly nobody else lives like a vampire: no work, no sun, no friends or intimacy, blood consuming. The channel is his way to lure unpaid strangers into his sad Howard Hughes life, even if only to gawk at him.
@@diametheuslambda Oh. You think that geniuses like Elon Musk, or DaVinci, or Ignaz Semmelweis (who promoted surgeons washing their hands before operating and was incarcerated in an insane asylum for his crazy ideas) were not/are not eccentric? People have registered the same complaints about Frank Lloyd Wright, Nicolas Tesla, Buckminster Fuller, and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Any dramatically new or radical experiment (and Mr. Johnson never claimed his protocol was anything more than an experiment) is bound to go off the rails as often as it produces useable results. Edison went through thousands of iterations to invent the lightbulb. BTW, if you think N of 1 experiments are "trash," why are you following Nick - who believes that the democratisation of science through N of 1 experiments is the path forward for science?
Love your access to this theme and your description for cars as death boxes. I am nearer than you to the end of the seventh decade and i do not want to live forever, i am not a billionaire, but i do like a quiet, nice, secure, green city with lovely people and culture everywhere to live in until the peaceful end of my life!
"You may think rail is too pedestrian..." 🥁🥁🥁🤣🤣 I'm whole foods plant-based and live a fairly healthy lifestyle (but I don't believe in the extreme longevity nuts), so I really loved the setup for this video. I think often about how all the things I do for my health and wellbeing don't matter if, tomorrow, I get struck by a car.
Great video! Thank you for your work. I love the creative way of selling the ideas to interested billionaires who might be unconvinced. To a better world in the future!
We need to increase capital gains tax but we also need to do it more creatively. Capital gains tax should be an insurance program. We pick a percentage say 50% of annual gains for a tax rate then we also offer capital losses insurance through the same program but at a rate of 10% of the tax rate. So in this example 5%. Your gains are taxed at 50% but on the flip side your losses are are insured by 5%. (5% is a lot). In this way we can get the tax revenue from capital gains that we need to invest in our society while also ensuring that capital continues to invest in our society.
That's a fascinating idea. I can see how pairing taxes with some form of risk reduction might get investors on board. It aligns with a core role of government: serving needs where markets consistently fail.
Now that was a breath of fresh air. Civil, open ended (as in allowing other opinions instead of trying to "beat them" all) discussion of something people from "both sides" are generally more likely to just brawl over from fixed points of view, when the points of view are possibly the thing that need the most improvement of all. The way you put your case invites argumentation (with whole brain) instead of fighting (with older version of monkey brain), and, thence, fruits rather than mere "victories". It's rare for people to argue to understand instead of to "win" in matters like this one. And at stake in this case is the future. I think a better future is possible from finding new ways of seeing things (like this) than from one bad idea "winning the fight" against another bad idea. That's one of the problems with competition. Placed within proper constraints, yes it can light fires under peoples' backsides, and thus make things happen. (Or, more politely, it's one of the motivators that operate peoples accelerator pedals). Unrestrained, it's e.g. invading your peaceful neighbour to "defeat" them, and then fixating on this after it fails, just to avoid "losing". I impolitely call that monkey mind. (Well today I do. Tomorrow I think I'll come up with something harsher. I'm not immune to this kind of destructive impulse.) If one's idea of "winning" basically just boils down to _someone else_ losing (suffering real losses), doesn't that make one some kind of loser? (I'll use the term the competition-good simplificators use for that, as if I don't want to distance myself from it. I don't. I'm speaking on their behalf. That way I can beat them. Losers, losers.) I've drifted away from the appreciation of the way in which you truth-seekingly open and pursue discussions on topics such as this one to "binary-mindedly" dissing what I think might be the opposite of this. Sorry. But the diss is kept within some bounds? And it's sometimes also necessary? (It's just such a widely adopted default mode that it gets overused, though.)

The same applies to being a billionaire. I’ve begun my first billion.
If any Billionaires want help building cool new, walkable Permaculture towns, I'm here to help!
Please consider doing a video on crime prevention by design
Thanks for the great suggestion!
