JOE ROGAN: “WHAT IF HUMANS WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO DIE AT 100?”
Joe Rogan:
“If you keep going long enough, a hundred years is silly.”
Guest:
“Imagine how much smarter you are at 53 than you were at 13. Now imagine how much smarter you could be at 353… or 1,053.”
Joe Rogan:
“If a person can live to be 100, why can’t they live to be 4,000 if they figure out what makes people age?”
Guest:
“Fixing aging and reversing it would be among the things a technologically mature civilization could do.”
Joe Rogan:
“Holy shit. You’re dealing with a 2,000-year-old person. That’s a completely different kind of thing.”
Guest:
“We’ve been faced with the inevitability of aging for thousands of years, so we’ve developed a way of reconciling ourselves with it.”
Joe Rogan:
“I like it. Stockholm syndrome.”
Guest:
“But once there’s actually something you could do to escape it, that mindset could prevent people from taking advantage of it.”
Joe Rogan:
“It’s kind of amazing how much we’ve accomplished as a civilization when you think about the fact that people only live to be 100.”
**WHAT IF THE BIGGEST LIMIT ON HUMAN INTELLIGENCE ISN’T OUR BRAINS…
BUT THE FACT THAT WE DIE BEFORE WE GET TO USE THEM LONG ENOUGH?
