This is Richard Morgan, the 93-year-old with the cardiovascular system of a 40-year-old.
Here are 8 lessons from the fittest man his age on the planet:
Must read till end 🧵
Some of us will live forever.
And if you’re reading this, that may or may not be you.
I am so bullish on this that I just renamed my company to Immortals.
Below:
+ why I think this
+ early signs of success
+ how to increase your odds
Yes, I know this sounds crazy.
Immortality has been an ambition for humanity since the beginning of recorded history.
The immortality I’m referring to is specific: increases in life expectancy will outpace the rate of aging. Meaning, we will no longer, by default, expect to die of natural causes.
I believe this for three reasons.
#1: Immortality already exists
Biology can reverse some features of aging, and in a handful of organisms escape it almost entirely. For example, a sperm and an egg from two people in their 30s carry the legacy of bodies that have aged for decades (the egg in particular has been arrested inside the mother since before she herself was born), yet they combine to produce an embryo that resets the aging clock to zero.
The immortal jellyfish goes further and resets itself within one lifetime, reverting its adult cells to an earlier stage through transdifferentiation and starting its life cycle again. And in the lab, scientists have begun doing this deliberately, making induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from mature adult cells such as skin fibroblasts, and using partial cellular reprogramming to turn the clock back in the tissues of living animals.
#2: AI offers new potentials
Biology is a hard problem. For most of history that complexity was beyond native human capacity. AI was made for this complexity. The clearest demonstration so far is protein folding. Predicting the three-dimensional shape a protein folds was an unsolved problem for roughly fifty years, and it mattered because a protein's shape determines what it does in the body.
DeepMind's AlphaFold2 effectively solved it in 2020, reaching a median accuracy of 92.4 out of 100, a level long thought to require the slow, painstaking work of crystallizing a protein and solving its structure by X-ray crystallography. It then released predicted structures for over 200 million proteins, nearly the entire catalogued protein universe, in a fraction of the time anyone expected.
#3: Early signs are encouraging
These aspirations are not imaginative. With the current tools in biotech Sid Sijbrandij, the co-founder of GitLab, was diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer, osteosarcoma in his vertebrae. He treated his own disease like an engineering problem, he used AI to help direct several experimental, personalized therapies in parallel and drove the cancer into remission after standard medicine had given up. Around the same time, an Australian named Paul Conyngham, with no medical or biology background, did something similar for his dog. He used AI to help design a personalized mRNA vaccine targeting the specific mutations in his dog's tumor, and after it was given alongside another immunotherapy and within a few months the main tumor had shrunk by roughly three-quarters.
How to increase your odds…
I. Don’t die in the meantime
We don’t know when these longevity therapies will become available. Your goal is to be around when they come out. Buy yourself as much time as possible by looking after your body to the best of our scientific knowledge. Good diet, sleep, exercise will get you 80% of the results.
II. Find your achilles
Longevity therapies will likely be outcome specific. Individual specific drugs/therapies that target specific things like…
> prevent and remove arterial plaque
> prevent and reverse neurodegeneration
> specifically target and eliminate cancers, or pre cancerous legions
> prevent frailty and muscle loss, and regain muscle mass, strength and, bone density
> reverse skin aging
> rejuvenate eye health
> restore lost hearing
> etc
We don’t know what therapies will be available first. Your goal is to find what your body is struggling with most and keep that problem at-bay until a therapy is available that can fully cure or reverse it.
For example, do you struggle with cholesterol? Blood glucose control? Cognitive decline? Find your achilles heel and reduce your risk systematically.
III. Invest in the future
There are three macro trends happening on planet earth right now, and the people who bet on these areas have the highest risk + reward.
> AI
> Immortality
> Energy
As we know, power comes in many forms: money, social, political, health, etc. Those that can collect power in these fields will have the greatest chance of positioning themselves in the Immortal future.
With time, Immortal therapies will become broadly available.
If you’re reading this: don’t waste your chances by burning down your life points on a yolo-like mentality. Grind culture, addiction, social media pollution, fast food, porn, alcohol, these are all corporations turning your life into their profit. This is the Die Economy.
My company Immortals has the sole objective of turning your time, attention, and life into more healthy, functional, and prosperous minutes, days, and years. The Don’t Die Economy.
Good luck.
Some of us will live forever.

The Midjourney scanner is revolutionary. There’s a bullish case that exceeds the most optimistic takes.
I was at the unveiling and used the scanner myself. I personally want to experiment with a weekly whole body Midjourney scan to add to my 1.5 billion data points and let my AI and doctors start connecting the dots.
Most of the early commentary has focused on the wrong questions: “is it as good as MRI?” and “what about false positives?” These are legitimate concerns, but they miss the bigger shift.
The more important question is: what does fast, low cost, safe whole body imaging unlock?
Let’s start with measurement.
A speedometer tells you how fast you are going. A fuel/battery gauge tells you when to stop. A thermostat tells you what to wear. The stock price tells you how much money you’ve made or lost. We measure what we care about.
Except, oddly, for our bodies, which are among the least measured things in our lives. Most people have more data on their favorite sports team, bank account, and social media performance than their body. The future will think we were crazy for this.
The first law of medicine is to do no harm. Our current system has harm baked into it.
+ an undiagnosed condition progressing silently is harm
+ a doctor who can’t easily get a patient screened preventively is harm
+ having no baseline to compare against when something shows up is harm
Our preventive net is narrow and inconsistent. Late stage diagnoses that could have been caught earlier remain common. Midjourney’s technology won’t eliminate that overnight, but it points toward a future where routine wholebody baselines become normal rather than exceptional.
Midjourney can help flip harm-by-default into a new expectation for our health infrastructure: almost no one will ever again be blindsided by a late-stage, life-threatening diagnosis that could have been caught earlier reasonably and cost-effectively.
Some examples of what earlier structural visibility enables:
+ breast cancer caught while localized has a ~99% five year survival rate. Once it has spread distantly, that drops to around 32%.
+ an abdominal aortic aneurysm kills more than 8 in 10 people when it ruptures. A single ultrasound finds the aorta in 99 percent of people, and screening cuts aneurysm deaths by a third to a half.
Midjourney’s technology will not do it all on its own. Its full angle, water immersion approach works around bone rather than seeing through it, and routes bowel gas to image the full abdominal cross section. Yet two real limits remain: air filled lungs stay a blind spot even here, and the brain is out of reach behind the skull, beyond the torso and legs this scanner covers.
That is fine, and they may improve these areas over time. Midjourney doesn’t need to do it all in order for it to be one of the biggest things to hit medicine in a long time.
Let’s look at where specifically Midjourney may be useful to each of us. We’ll start with where we get data today:
1) Blood draws tell us what is happening chemically.
2) Wearables tell us how the body is functioning.
3) Imaging tells us what is happening structurally.
The third layer, soft tissue, is the one we have never been able to access easily. MRI is great, but it is expensive, intimidating, and slow.
Midjourney's technology excels with soft tissue. Here are three places it could be game changing. There are many more.
1. Metabolic health - fatty liver is one of the earliest structural signs of metabolic dysfunction. It’s strongly linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular risk. Being able to track visceral fat, muscle fat infiltration, and liver fat over time could give a much clearer picture than blood markers alone. Over 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy.
2. Endocrine tissue - the same metabolic patterns often cluster with thyroid issues, PCOS, and hypogonadism. Ultrasound can directly image the thyroid and ovarian structures. Fat tissue itself is an endocrine organ, so tracking it structurally adds another useful data layer.
3. Soft tissue + multiomics - new proteomic aging clocks can already predict risk for many chronic diseases from blood proteins. These molecular models could become significantly more powerful when combined with actual structural imaging data. The two are complementary, not competitive.
The real advantage: baseline + longitudinal tracking
The biggest unlock isn’t a single scan. It’s having a baseline followed by regular follow-ups. A one off scan in a moment of concern turns every finding into a potential crisis. Without context, you have no idea whether something is new, stable, or changing. With baseline + repeated measurement, the question changes from “what is this?” to “is this changing?” Most incidental findings stay stable. The dangerous ones tend to grow or evolve. Trajectory is often more informative than any single image or timepoint.This is why false positives become more manageable with frequent, low-friction imaging.
Midjourney has a difficult road ahead. Building robust, clinically validated medical hardware and software is extremely hard. Regulatory, technical, and adoption challenges shouldn’t be understated. Also, David is doing this for the right reasons and he’s well positioned financially to push through the difficulty.
On the horizon
We are moving quickly into a future where we will have continuous biological measurement. It will be all around us, a lot of it invisible and autonomous. Measurement will be in our gyms, beds, homes, clothing, offices, cars, glasses, and wearables. It will also be inside of us, in tissue and circulating in our blood vessels. This moves us from managing crises to preventing them. But this future will not just show up. We need bold builders like David and his team, willing to do the hard work.
Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.
They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.
Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.
They lost them for two reasons.
The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.
In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.
Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.
That fight dragged on for years.
The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.
Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.
So now it's all gone.
The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.
Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.
Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.
But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.
Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.
And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.
Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.
Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."
There it is. "Billionaire-owned."
That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.
Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.
Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."
When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.
They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.
Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.
But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."
Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.
Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.
Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

You probably think you are healthy.
You exercise. You eat well. Your doctor says your labs are normal. You feel mostly fine.
That was me at 52. Former professional tennis player. Orange juice every morning. Whole wheat toast. Fresh juices. The healthiest person I knew.
I was rotting from the inside. Insulin resistant. Thyroid in crisis. Mercury poisoning. Chronic inflammation. Gut dysfunction. Hormones collapsing. Minerals depleted.
Seven systems. All broken. All hidden behind "normal" labs.
Here is what nobody is testing. And why it almost killed me.
⛓️💥🚨 Pritzker’s Quiet Gender Agenda Exposed: Trump DOJ Hits 36 Illinois School Districts
The veil is lifting. The U.S. Department of Justice just launched civil rights investigations into 36 Illinois school districts over radical gender and sexuality curriculum.
Parents have had enough.
The probe targets:
⚖️ Secret “gender ideology” lessons pushed on kids as young as pre-K — without parental notice or opt-out.
⚖️ Title IX violations putting girls’ privacy, safety, and sports at risk.
⚖️ Districts bypassing moms and dads to advance social engineering over education.
For years these schools operated in the shadows, treating classrooms like indoctrination camps.
No more.
Parents’ rights are winning.
Schools exist to teach reading, writing, and math — not to rewrite biology or fracture families.
Thank you, DOJ. Illinois families deserve transparency and protection.
🚨 THIS IS COMMON SENSE 🇺🇸
End property taxes at 65, let seniors stay in their homes instead of being taxed out by greedy local governments.
No more forcing retirees to sell the house they’ve paid off just to pay endless taxes.
Protect our seniors.
