“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.
Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.”
— Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO Hu
“How long would you want to live?”
Elon asked the question first, and he kept saying:
“One of the worst curses you could possibly give anyone would be, “May you live forever.”
Then he said the line that actually matters:
“I’ve long thought that longevity or semi-immortality is an extremely solvable problem. I don’t think it’s a particularly hard problem.”
His reason was simple. The body ages in sync. Nobody has an old left arm and a young right arm. So the clock must be obvious.
“This is the way you’re programmed to die. If you change the program, you will live longer.”
Bowhead whales get 200 years. Greenland sharks get 500. Why them and not us? Hardware or software — and the tech to solve it is coming.
The only rule added: don’t die of something stupid before the solution arrives.
Peter Diamandis offered him to upload his full genome. Elon laughed: “Don’t clone me, bro.”
Too late, they said. It’s already in the works.🤣
Elon doesn’t want forever. He wants enough time for humans to leave the solar system.💫
Sneaky life/betting perspective :
Your thoughts about yourself and your life - specifically the limitations you hold deep inside - create the ceiling for the results you’ll achieve in betting games.
WE ARE ABOUT TO WALK INTO THE MOST ABUNDANT BALANCED WEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL PERIOD OF OUR LIFE. WE NATURALLY ATTRACT GOOD FORTUNE, AND WE ARE WEALTHY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. WE GIVE OURSELVES PERMISSION TO PROSPER, AND WE HAVE THE POWER TO BUILD THE LIFE THAT WE DESIRE.
The secret to being a private person is to overshare dumb shit so that people think you’re an open book but then not tell them any of the important details of your life
