“There is a term in poker called “pot odds”. Meaning you make a bet having a low chance on winning, but the pot is very large, larger than your bet divided by the chances of winning. This strategy is profitable for you. The same thing applies to longevity research. If we evaluate our life highly, then it makes sense to invest in fighting aging even if the chances of your particular bet are not that high. Let’s say, you estimate the value of your life as $10 million, and the chances for success of the given life extension research project are 1%. Then it makes sense to invest up to $100,000. I estimate the value of my life as something like 10 to the power of 100 dollars. In this case it makes sense to invest all the existing money and resources in life extension. Which I’ve been doing.”
