Watching the Olympics, and seeing Michael Phelps win eight gold medals, makes me think of the people working on the Life Extension movement today. What I teach in my book, is a skill. Have you ever wondered how people achieve such extraordinary results in various areas of their lives? You're right, they studied it and worked at it. The lifestyle of americans today is a design of default. It is where we happened to end up as the product of our free market society. B.F. Skinner thought our lives should be socially engineered for us, as people do not make the optimal choices themselves and choose unconsciously what has been conditioned into their behavioral patterns by the environment and the people around them. How many children do you see protesting at McDonald's that the food is too fatty and it is initiating the ground bed for arteriosclerosis to appear in their veins later in their lives? I personally have never seen one.
So with a little knowledge, skill, and ability, you can live decades longer than you ever before imagined. Jeanne Calment made it to 122. One hundred and fifty years old is like running the four minute mile. Once it has been achieved, it will be a realistic goal to shoot for. The four minute mile was considered physically impossible for a human being, until Roger Bannister ran it in less than four minutes and shattered that limiting belief. Now all competitive runners finish the mile race in less than four minutes, and the fastest yet, is a 3:43 mile. Fully seventeen seconds faster than Roger's record. He would probably not even qualify for today's Olympic mile race. So we have changed the paradigm. We have eliminated the limiting beliefs. We are ready to move forward with Real Life Extension. Laboratory animal studies and extrapolations show we can live for one hundred fifty to possibly one hundred eighty years. The champions of ultra long life are alive and well today, and are polishing their skills to break new records!
