Curing death
How would you live if you knew aging was avoidable?
Time to sink our teeth into Monday with a fun one:
Why do Sue and her children live in an old people’s home and why do the people in the home not find it peculiar? They are not obliged to live there. Sue has plenty of money in the bank and they could afford to live somewhere else if they choose.

Act like old age is curable
If you follow any of the self or industry proclaimed “tech gurus”, you’ll eventually come across the concept of curing aging.
Even proeminent cryptocurrency innovators say this is the next big thing and will most likely happen within the next few decades.
I’m definitely not versed enough to tell you if it’s true or not, but for what it’s worth, it seems probable.
I’d like to pose a different question, though, one that might put things into perspective and have you looking at things differently.
What if aging would be cured in the next 20 years? Would you live differently now? Would you take care better care of yourself and have differently priorities?
If the answer is yes, you’re most likely not living the best version of your life.
Don’t take this as extra pressure, but maybe we should start living like we’re gonna cure aging. That doesn’t mean we’re gonna live forever, but it could mean that in 20 years you’re gonna be stuck with the body you have then.
I know a lot of people who wouldn’t be happy with that.
You’d want to be the best version of yourself, right?
The beauty of it is even if you commit to this exercise and start acting like aging isn’t going to be a problem 20 years from now and you’re wrong, you’re still going to be better off than a lot of people.
You’re going to be healthier, sharper and most likely wealthier than most.
