He's still going to die within the usual human lifespan limits, just like the rest of us.
Still, nice to see he's taken on a hobby for his retirement, I guess.

Some people can run marathons at 100.

Charlie Munger turns 100 next year but he doesn’t get around as well.

Of course, 100 is about 25 years above the average age a US male is expected to live.

Maybe a proper balance involves not going too far into obsessions or give too far into addictions
“People that don’t smoke get cancer too”
That’s what people used to tell me 40 years ago.
Yes, bad things can still happen to you even if you take care of yourself. On average though, people will be much healthier.
Now, if we could only convince the “we’re all going to die anyway” crowd that we can actually cure ALS, cancers, heart disease, etc.
Most people will be convinced if you actually cure these illnesses, and not very much before that point.
I'm not so sure.
For millennia people tried and failed to fly through the air like birds. In the late nineteenth century so many people had tried and failed, it seemed like a law of nature that humans were destined to remain earth-bound. Then suddenly, miraculously, we figured it out.
I think it will be the same with the 'usual human lifespan limit' of 120 years. At some point we will figure it out, and a group of humans will have a longevity distribution whose right tail extends to 150 years. Bryan Johnson may already be in that group.
