    Not really not dying ever (entropy will came for everyone some day). But let’s say not doing for very, veeeery long time.

    I am 35 in reasonable health. I have reasonable chance to live until development, distribution and cheaping of real anti-aging / rejuvenation therapies (that can be 20 years). So my plan is to help spread awareness about such therapies to support their development rather sooner than later. I am thinking about founding an organization to support writing Wikipedia articles in many languages about this topic.

    And in case of premature death, I intent to sign up for cryopreservation to buy some time to researchers to develop therapies for whatever would kill me in the meantime.

    I have “kidnapped” a small child and am brainwashing them to think like me.

    they will be me, essentially.

    one day they will do the same, and “I” will live on for eternity.

    Starting this year, limited booze intake to 2 days per year.

    Bought a Personal Locator Beacon for off-grid activities.

    In order to be around when gen-eng, consciousness upload, medical age reversal, are real prospects. Still wouldn’t opt for them though, here and now is it.

    Only insane billionaires plan for that.

    I’m not looking to live forever. Just another 40 to 50 years as long as I’m healthy. Only plan for that is to eat somewhat healthy and get a couple hours of cardio and strength training in a few times a week. Nothing obsurd just enough to maintain strength as I age and get the heart pumping.

    Are you a billionaire? Cause unless you are it’s like a child wanting to be Batman when they grow up.
