Blueprint to me is the best idea I've ever come up with and most practical idea I've ever come up with to address that.

0:06.5

And so from the outside perspective, it appears to be health and wellness and anti-aging and whatnot.

0:13.0

That's all true, but really it's a philosophical endeavor in the future of intelligence.

0:30.0

We're officially live, so Brian, I've been messaging you for like six or eight months now, but basically I'll give like a very brief background and you can kind of like tell us a little bit more because I never really I'll miss something.

0:42.5

But you started a bunch of stuff. The biggest thing is brain tree. I think you bootstrapped that right?

0:48.5

I did.

0:49.5

So you bootstrapped that, sold it for like something like $800 million to PayPal.

0:53.5

You guys also bought Venmo, which I think is like the greatest acquisition, one of the best acquisitions of all time because you bought it for kind of nothing compared to what it is now.

1:02.5

And then you've done a bunch of other things, you've done kernel, which is interesting, and you have this a fun that's kind of interesting.

1:08.5

But the thing that I started reading is your new thing called blueprint, which the kind of I'm kind of an idiot.

1:15.5

And so the stupid way of describing it is like you have your biological age and then you have your chronological age.

1:21.5

A chronological age is just how many years old you are and then you have your biological, which is it measures a bunch of different things like your organs, your blood, and you're basically trying to reverse your biological age faster than the chronological age goes up, which inevitably means you live in the future.

1:37.5

And inevitably means you live forever. I mean, is that is that basically it? And you're blogging and like sharing everything along the way? Is that right?

1:43.5

Great job.

1:44.5

Brian, what is your chronological age and what is your current biological age?

1:49.5

I left my mother's womb 45 years ago.

1:53.5

And biologically, I'm a few hundred different ages.

1:58.5

And so for example, if you're looking at the age of your heart, you can characterize the age of the heart through a few dozen markers. You can do the same thing with other parts of the body.

2:08.5

So you're actually a collection of some very large number of markers because different parts of the body, age of different speeds and then your life choices and environment also affects that.

2:20.5

So I want to ask you all about this blueprint thing because I think it's amazing.

2:23.5

But can I ask you a few questions about brain tree first?

2:28.5

So brain tree, I mean, like you guys are owned by PayPal now. Another competitor to yours, I think is Stripe, which is, you know, these are like high tech companies, you know, pretty complicated things.
