If you'd like to listen to the full length version, find the link in the description. Of course, subscribe so you don't miss the next one. Enjoy. You've been in longevity since it was niche. Like, it feels like over the last, what, seven, eight years, this has become pretty mainstream, at least in Silicon Valley in terms of people talking about it, thinking about it as a topic. What what aspects of longevity right now do you feel like are nonconsensus that you expect to become more consensus in the future? The idea of FDA approved drugs for lifespan extension is the biggest thing. I think longevity is still synonymous with supplements or tests or either this thing and I optimize my resting heart rate. And, like, to be clear, like, those things probably do help, but I don't think it's seen as, like, a biological process that is intervenable just like any other biological process that occurs in someone. I think the minute we hopefully get a drug approved, that will change, and it'll be considered like, pathological aging, I think, should be considered a disease space just like anything else. Right?

So I I, just adopted an a baby Rottie, named Wilma slash Squishy, depending on how I'm feeling in the moment. I think she's just gonna be a two name dog at this point. Most most of them are, like, hundreds of named dogs. I think I think Harper has hundreds of names at this point. But she she still has a predominant name of Harper. Like, I'm not sure which one's gonna be the predominant. Is it Squishy? Is it Wilma? A a a Rottie named Squishy Squishy is pretty amazing. It's kind of hilarious, isn't it? And she is it Squishy? Like, her face is …
