Civilization Is About To Change Forever: Truth About Immortality, Rich Vs Poor, AI & Ending Disease

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!

I am tired of everything coming down to GDP, and leverage, and productivity, treating people like chess pieces to be moved around. This is unique to the tech world...this God complex that treats us all like numbers on a spreadsheet. Money and wealth are not all that is of value in the world and it is certainly not the only reason that a life has value. The transactional belief system needs to stop.

Even though I'm only 50% of the way through this episode I find it very impactful. I'm a 61 year old who recently found myself unexpectedly unemployed and have decided at this late juncture to change my career career. I have no intention to retire.. ever. I think the importance of having a big audicious goal is essential to remain vibrant cannot be understated. Looking at the discussion around an aging population and the financial implications, reinforces my belief that striving to contribute in a meaningful way is critical to remaining healthy. Living in a meaningful way, whatever that means on an individual basis is critical to having a vibrant and healthy life. I truly believe idleness is as detrimental to health as an unhealthy diet or over indulgence in a vice such as alcohol. Just thought I'd share my thoughts.... thank you @TomBilyeu for your ever thoughtful and impactful discussions.

I'm a civil engineer who was trained in the 70's. When I retired after 31 years working as a patent engineer for the federal government I decided to follow my dream of becoming a professor. I've completely reinvented myself. I got an MA in Sociology and started teaching at our community college. Straight ahead from that master's, I'm almost finished with a second one, this time MEng. Engaging intellectually with young adults has always been fun. I do this for fun. And... I'm more technically literate than most of them. I'm more active and have better energy too. I'm having a fabulous time.

To live forever? fuck that!!! I am 37 and I am already sick and tired of this world full of shit, injustice, and suffering.

To whoever is reading this and might struggle rn for whatever reason, please keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this! It’s worth hanging in there, it truly is. Stay strong kind strangers!❤

This guy is infuriating. When he's talking about contributing to society after 60-65 he's assuming jobs or task like taking care of your parents, volunteering at church will pay the bills. Most people can not keep up with inflation and I suspect most people don't want to work past these ages. He also says that you can "change careers", like that's something the average person can just take on. Does he think we can just go to school again for another 4-6 at any old time and get enough experience to be a CEO while were taking care of our families and still paying our bills. This guy is an idealist. I don't think his ideas are bad, they're just not grounded in reality.

After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth. I have nothing to prove, not even to myself. I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others. If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off. I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them. I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it. I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.

Approaching 63 years old in March 2024, I have found that intermittent fasting, calorie reduction avoiding stress moderate exercise, is what I can do. Using technology, biofeedback from apple watch, regular dexascans to monitor progress towards health goals, use of veri=continuous glucose monitoring. The fight is against the industrial food medical death complex .

Tom please try to remember or better have it as a standard rule for your assistants on your podcast to take care to be the name of your guest on the title of each interview for easy access and also a respect indication of your guest. I really like and respect your podcast and I felt very akward for this omission of appropriate etiquete of manners. I feel like part of a community of your subscribers so I had to ask for something that will all make us feel better.

Bad quality of life is just torture 😔

Is this guy from the WEF too? Can't wait to live the next 1000 years of frequent pandemics and wars glued to my screen

If the world continues down the road it's on, I don't want to be here 10 years from now much less well into old age.

Type II Diabetes IS DEFINITELY lifestyle. I was in an emergency situation… loosing my eyesight A1C was at 11 glucose at 600. I was given emergency insulin… in March 2023. I have REVERSED it in my own with diet mostly, some exercise but today my fasting glucose is normal

Some of us would like to retire at some point. “Contributing to GDP”aka working into our 90s, 100s and beyond doesn’t sound too appealing to me.

Don't wait to be healthy, get as fit as you can now as the technology does not have a guaranteed time frame.

If the page is WRONG, we do not need to be on the same page!

I don’t want to live longer. I’d rather feel better while I’m older. But I have no interest in extending the time I am here. If it’s guaranteed I will live until 80 and then die at 80, I would be fine with that. Haha. This world is a scary place and the older I get the less I will be aware of what’s going on and the less I’ll be able to deal with what’s going on. And I also don’t want to live the last quarter of my life depending on other people. You lose your drivers license. You get put in a nursing home or a care home. I don’t what to experience that for very long. There’s no reason we need to be living longer than 90. Not even mentioning that the older you get the lonelier you get. Your friends die, your family dies. And not many prior your age are around. It’s lonely, even if you have the family you created. Because you’re old, it’s hard to relate to them.

Since about age 39 it has been very clear to me that society is not interested in keeping me around. Back then I was still a badass and exceptionally productive. At age 53 I feel alone in my endeavors to stay alive. Doing the best, working anyway I can but it is tough as my body and mind agest and society at large seems on a suicide track to me. Our health care system is completely broken only profits from disease and slow miserable dying. Young people don't seem convinced there is much chance of any quality of life, so it iseems unrealistic to expect them to take any care of elders.

Financial planning is like navigation. If you know where you are and where you want to go, navigation isn't such a great problem. It's when you don't know the two points that it's difficult
