You’re gonna die. Period.

Maybe it’s today choking like Mama Cass on a sandwich.
Maybe it’s tomorrow from an aneurism.
Or, hopefully, it’s at 98 surrounded by your massive family — 70s+ aged children, grown grandchildren galore, and a gaggle of teenaged great grandkids (and just perhaps one or two great GREAT grandkiddos!)

But either way, in the infamous words of Axel Rose in “Welcome to the Jungle:” “Baby! Yo’ gonna die!”

There’s a great effort made by many of us to do everything in our power to cheat death as long as possible.

I like to talk about the guy Bryan Johnson and his “quest to live forever,” a lot. He spends millions, annually, on his own personal group of 30+ specialist doctors (If I’m recalling the number correctly), and chokes down over a hundred medicines and vitamins each day. Every meal is a carefully measured one in weight and nutrients, no meat, and perhaps not even especially tasty.

And his son also regularly gives him his own plasma to help him stay young. So there’s that.

Bryan literally looks at everything he does and everything he sticks in his mouth in terms of “Will it help me age slower or faster.”
