I'd like for you to understand the details of my Longevity Journey. That task will be much easier if you first explore my core Longevity Beliefs. I hope that the way I present them here is reasonably complete and understandable. Even it you don't agree with them, the remainder of the website will be more useful.

As I have time, I will write, and do video on each of the topics below. I will present my beliefs and proofs in much greater detail.

Longevity Defined

Longevity Defined

• I believe that when a person experiences longevity, they live for a greater number of years than would normally have been expected.
• Others have watered down the definition of Longevity to include living in good health for a longer time (healthspan.)
• The reasons why some people accidentally or intentionally misuse the term longevity varies. Some do not understand it correctly, and apply it as it has been taught to them. Others pervert the definition to sell stuff.
• It is very important to my mission to educate people about what longevity means. I want people to understand the innate value of more years alive, and the many reasons for that value. I believe that every person should seek a state of mind and body, that motivates and incentivizes them to live longer.

Wellness Isn't Longevity

Wellness Isn't Longevity

• Many people think the terms "Wellness" and "Longevity" are synonomous. I disagree.
• Wellness is one's perception of being free from disease, being comfortable with the way they feel, and feeling like their health allows them to do what they find important.
• Wellness is a "squishy" term, as someone might have a life-threatening condition, while feeling and testing "well."
• The term longevity, when used properly, is discrete.

The Importance Of Longevity Today

The Importance Of Longevity Today

• Many people are suffering physically and mentally.
• The average age of humans is growing quickly. Fewer people are being born, while those alive now, are living longer.




The Concept of Aging

The Concept of Aging

• Aging is gradual reduction in the function of our body's systems. Aging is the major cause of human disease and death.
• Aging happens to all of us, but some people experience it in very different ways than others.
• I believe that aging is a "disease." Soon, it will be much more manageable and much less noticeable as it occurs.
• Ultimately, aging will be completely curable. Even if we don't age, most of us will finally die.




My Perception of My Age

My Perception of My Age

• Throughout my life, I have contemplated the concept of aging. I have asked myself if I am "old." I have wondered where those thoughts come from, and whether I should think more about them, or less.
• I wasn't always positive about how I perceived my age. About 10 years ago, I felt "too old." Today, I feel youthful, happy and upbeat about my life. My long future is bright.
• So out of all of the benefits of my achieving radical longevity, the most important benefit is that I no longer feel old at all. I feel very youthful. I want others to experience the same feeling!




Society, Ageism and Me

Society, Ageism and Me

• Around the World, the way that people that are "older" are treated, differs greatly.
• In some cultures, older people are venerated. In Western societies, older people often face an uphill battle (ageism).
• Younger people may also experience reverse ageism.
• Ageism is a form of discrimination. It can be very hurtful to those who experience it.
• Ageism is a largely unnecessary and impractical behavior. But ageism isn't the fault of younger or older people. Some ageism is natural, and biologically important.
• We should monitor ageism, and educate people to avoid most negative impacts. We shouldn't try to end it.
• I don't experience much ageism. I feel that by controlling my behavior and appearance, I can avoid it almost all of its negative consequences.




Approaches to Longevity

Approaches to Longevity

• There are a number of fairly unique approaches to achieving longevity. Examples include:
  
  
  • Maximize Wellness and Hope For the Best
  • Magical Pills and Potions Now and In the Future
  • Biomarker Tests, Fixes, and Monitoring
  • Reduce Biological Age vs. Chronological Age
  • Metaphysical Mind Over Matter
  • Extinguish The Big Avoidable Risks
  • Extreme Lifestyles
  • Don't Worry Stems Cells Fix Everything
• I have created my own approach. What I do borrows from all of the approaches mentioned above, while adding a "longevity technology time-warp."
