How Long is Yours?


July 5, 2021
Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Ellison, Aubrey de Grey, and Peter Diamandis. They’re all obsessed with length. Oh, how men love comparing metrics. And it started early in life, most likely in the group shower after gym class.

No, I’m not talking about that!

These men are fixated on cheating death and lengthening life! And at just about any cost.

While these men have the wealth to chase this dream, I can’t help but wonder if prolonged life expectancy will become the next male-dominated “master of the universe” domain? It seems like all the Silicon Valley thought leaders who are actually in this “live to 150 or longer” movement are powerful men.

What’s that all about?

I don’t know about you, but I’m more focused on depth than length.
