“I put it in my book lifespan because uh I was told by the editor that that would be interesting, but I was hesitant because there was such little data on sauners and and nothing on ice bs really.”

“Also, the the book that I wrote, which you first had me on to promote, has done so well and it's really because of you. And the book Lifespan became a bestseller not Not just that, but it's now been read millions of times around the world.”

“And there's this particular book here called Now We Are Six. It is Anyone who's read my book uh Lifespan knows that this book is very important to me.”

“So, if you're listening and you're skeptical, I'm not some hack. I am a Harvard professor who is telling the world and has written a book about it and every day spends my life researching with a team of the best scientists”

“Though, I will say that the the disaster scenario that often comes to mind when I talk about this, and which I covered in in the last part of my book, Lifespan, it's actually economically hugely advantageous to slow aging and prevent diseases.”

“Spermidine? Yeah. And the quantities are either on the screen or in my book if you want to know exactly.”

“so this information Theory of Aging uh it's in my book lifespan I actually put it in my book before I published it in the scientific literature”

“If you've read I think you've read, but if anyone has read Lifespan or actually more importantly listen to it Matt and I kid around in between the chapters and you can get a sense uh of of what we're like.”

“I can speak from my own experience that I sat down for 2 years to write Lifespan, the book. By the end of it, I couldn't walk properly.”

“and some of the technology that I talk about in my book we think could turn the clock back by a decade or more”

“and that is a theme that I have in my book and in my research and that is we don't want to be doing everything every day”

“we are the agent why we don't have to it is natural of course”

“and one of the things I address in the book is what really will happen if you do the calculations if you look at human history that is not going to happen”

“but there are a few types I go through them in my book so because oh we won't have time to go through all of it”
