hypothesis: the current obsession with longevity is a byproduct of tech culture's fear of death.

i used to ask founders + early employees, "have you thought about dying?" i would get a visceral reaction each time. and yet, as steve jobs said, "death is the destination we all share."

so why do you want to live longer?

I was nearly dead at 27, and had too many close calls around that time. I’ve since viewed this time as my bonus round that could be revoked at any moment. I want to live longer because I want to use my time to build things that help humanity. And I prioritize this time not being for granted accordingly. Memento Mori
