If you're curious, here's their 2019 annual report.[1] Surprisingly they made 43% of 2018's annual revenue from crypto donations.

This talk is from Nov 2017. I was recently looking for SENS (or close) summary videos, if anybody knows some, feel free to spam me.

I'm curious... why is there so much interest in curing aging, particularly in Silicon Valley?

Somewhat cynical, but we seem to be so far from making good use of the time we have, that it's difficult to understand how stretching it out by some fraction will make an improvement (once novelty effects have worn off).

Speak about yourself. I make good use of my time. So I want more. I don't want joint pains of old age, wrinkled face, or slow brain. I want eternal youth.

Give me immortality or give me death

well you'll certainly get one, guaranteed.

I am not 100% sure, and I would hate the middle: eternal old age.

But if I get either eternal youth or death? Good! I will either be happy or not care!

My hint is that tech is plateauing, so medical is the next market with growth potential for SV venture capital

Speak for yourself, friend. I'm working hard every moment I can, because there is so much I have to give to the world, I can't imagine finishing it all even if I live 200 years.
