before we reimagine the future of longevity we’re through a quick pop quiz

longevity we’re through a quick pop quiz

longevity we’re through a quick pop quiz on something you learned earlier I’d

on something you learned earlier I’d

on something you learned earlier I’d like to ask you to count that number of

like to ask you to count that number of

like to ask you to count that number of times the letter F appears in this

times the letter F appears in this

times the letter F appears in this single sentence not a trick question

single sentence not a trick question

single sentence not a trick question just read the number read the sentence

just read the number read the sentence

just read the number read the sentence count the number of times the letter F

count the number of times the letter F

count the number of times the letter F up here’s in the sense okay I know you

saw all three most of you anybody see

saw all three most of you anybody see for some of you anybody see five okay so

for some of you anybody see five okay so

for some of you anybody see five okay so the real answer is six and so now that

the real answer is six and so now that

the real answer is six and so now that you know the answers you can count the

you know the answers you can count the

you know the answers you can count the six FS I’m gonna help you out five flies

as Robert said earlier now young kids

as Robert said earlier now young kids can see these things two older we get

can see these things two older we get

can see these things two older we get the harder it is for us to see these FS

the harder it is for us to see these FS

the harder it is for us to see these FS that’s another depressing future of

that’s another depressing future of aging except I’m here to tell you it’s

aging except I’m here to tell you it’s

aging except I’m here to tell you it’s good news you know why because that F

good news you know why because that F

good news you know why because that F could represent the future of longevity

could represent the future of longevity

could represent the future of longevity in fact that F represents functional

in fact that F represents functional

in fact that F represents functional longevity that’s what’s coming now

longevity that’s what’s coming now

longevity that’s what’s coming now what’s current longevity current

what’s current longevity current

what’s current longevity current longevity is we’re living longer and

longevity is we’re living longer and

longevity is we’re living longer and stronger lives or we’re not solving your

stronger lives or we’re not solving your

stronger lives or we’re not solving your online problem aging so we’ll create an

online problem aging so we’ll create an

online problem aging so we’ll create an older population that needs to consume

older population that needs to consume

older population that needs to consume more health care that’s a vicious cycle
