[00:00:12]>> Yeah. I want to live forever.

[00:00:14]Think about it mathematically.

[00:00:17]If you know you're going to die and and you and and prisoner style you count out the days. You put an X every day you live you're one day closer to death. Yeah. That's a highly motivating force operating on your life.

[00:00:32]There are things you want to do. If you knew what day you were going to die you're going to do it.

[00:00:36]>> Yeah. What that's the whole meaning of a bucket list, okay? So I claim that if the knowledge of death gives meaning to life Okay.

[00:00:48]>> then to live forever is to live a life without meaning at all.

[00:00:55]That's it, Jerry.

[00:00:55]>> Oh.
