#2Jeff Bezos surely has a diverse set of investments. A clock in a mountain, space travel, anti-aging. Is he trying to create a bionic space conquering society? His mountain clock being +0 and everything else in the galaxy dependent upon it as basis for time.

#3Funny how as billionaires get older, they start backing anti-aging and life-extension initiatives.

No, he's just afraid of dying.

Yes, maybe. Or perhaps he just likes living.

#7Oh yay, now we can look forward to immortal rich folks. And the abolition of the retirement age.

#8I would love to get involved with a company like this, however I am only a software engineer with no background in the biological sciences. Is there a feasible path that does not involve going back to school for many years? I am not afraid of learning new things or doing the hard work I'd need to do, I just feel like that route would be highly inefficient. I would really like to contribute towards meaningfully extending human lifespan, don't really care about the salary.

I am pretty sure the way it works is that everyone will get the immortality when it is available, but the poor folks get 1,000 years of debt.

No, he's just afraid of dying.
“We don’t expect people to be living to 150 years, even in the wildest version of success,” he said. “But we do expect people to live free of a variety of chronic diseases.”"
You didn't read the article, just posting the typical "anti-aging" comment, right?
The idea is to be relatively healthy in your old age, not necessarily extend your life by much beyond what the human body can currently live, if it remains free of disease.
In many cases, we spend a fortune in health care costs in the last few years of people's lives. If we can keep more people relatively healthy until they go in their sleep, for example, we'll all be happier and insurance costs should fall.
