At the end of rent you own nothing. You have paid for a service that is for the hear and now but gives you no asset at the end. A house can be lived in when you retire but if you rent guess what you will still need to rent for the next 20 years of retirement. If you pay rent of $1000 today and when you are due to retire that rent will be $2000 to $9000 in value (depends on where you live). On top of that property tax will still be calculated into rent as weill the cost of maintenance and profit for the landlord. Legacy properties that have their debt liabilities paid of will be cheaper to rent but you can bet your rent that in 25 years time that property will have more than likely be sold again with new debt liabilities attached. Many of you have so much to learn but seem to think it is hip and cool to rent. Trust me renting in your 40s or 60s is not the same as in your teens or early 20s.

It is not treated as a medical condition. None of the underlying factors are even considered. Clearly that lecture went over your head.

And fish and meat.

It will not be about shifting focus it will be a natural progression. Profits today is what will enable this too occur in the future.

If you have a solar cell on your house and wind they can convert water to Hydrogen so yes these system will move to zero cost.

+DigitalHaze65536 I would greatly suggest that research Buffets investment strategy it is based on his mentor Benjamin Graham's two books Security Analysis and Intelligent investor. For 99% of the population the intelligent investor would be perfect as it is easy to ready and understand. I myself have been hitting growth of about 28% compounded for the last 20 years on the same principle without actually knowing that I was doing it.

Joke it was more of a smart comment than a joke. You were not intended to roll around laughing.

***** Then you need to start your education process in this field. All the information is freely available. And there are also free courses online in biology to get you started.

First of all how old are you. Have you read Terry Grossman and Ray Kurzweils Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever. What they propose is staying as healthy as you can to get to the next stage in medicine. I would highly recommend reading this book as it promotes healthy living and using reduced calorie diet which does not mean not eating food it actually means that if you eat the correct foods you will not need to full your self with rubbish such as foods with sugar. It also points to the next generation of medical technologies/techniques that are coming and the most cutting edge of what is available today.

It is your choice if you want to live for 30 years but there are others who want to live for longer and healthier. Most of the technology that will be designed to combat these problems will also enable the poorest to have healthcare as well.

I myself have achieved 28% compounded over the last 20 years. Buffet himself has stated he could achieve 50%. Index investment should be the foundation of investment for many people. It is almost idiot proof and only a fool could actually lose money on index investment.

It is not entirely true that our lifespan is determined at birth genetically. There are many people in old age who die of singular health events such as heart attack or stroke. Most of those people if they had early intervention would live much longer. Now in term of the human maximum life span that could be genetic but not how long a person lives. It will not be one technology that gets people to live longer and healthier it will be a collection of interventions and most of it will be based in personal medicine. Now in terms of extending the human maximum life span which looks to be under 120 years of age.

Meat does not create hunger spike either. What seems to the deciding factor is how much carbohydrates a person eats. Most people that eat a lot of processed foods are eating wheat in abundance and this appears to be the driving force in insulin resistance.

"Monetary System! And this is what now stands in the way of our progression " This is not true. It is the only system that is viable today that enables trade and innovation and what Rifkin proposes as a future will need the monetary system to occur.

This new revolution as people call it will involve automation in other words robotics. The robotic system will be able to build other robotics systems and so on. What will happen is that most of the things you today consider as costing money will in the not so distant future cost pennies. After that products will cost nothing to produce.

What have in unsophisticated but it probably works. If you applied the same method but you look for value meaning what is going to offer you the best buying price you would have far greater investment outcome.

The robots that these companies use will also enable everyday people and communities to build more robots and so on. What this will lead to is a world of abundance. This will not balance out because simply will not just let things rest they will move onward and up.

Mr David Appelbaum position is one that is bogged down by today's level of engineering. He simply does not understand that technology is exponential because it is feed by ever increasing technology.

They already have to a certain degree nerd built the internet and are also developing Ai that transform our world. CERN would not have happened with out computer nerds.

The science and technology of anti aging could also be used to help develop space expansion.

Does not have to be as extreme as keto. For many people just cutting back on carbohydrates is enough. Most of society are eating far too much carbohydrates and not enough proteins and fats and it is turning them into diabetics.
1
@jimbeaver27 I am not saying keto cannot be used. What I mean is for the vast majority of people a lower carbohydrate diet will work. Keto can be used for extreme cases and it is a great tool.

@BrainPowerSubs Demonization? Nearly 50% of people are insulin resistant.

@jimbeaver27 People that are obese and on high carbohydrate diets will see an improved health outcome when they cut back.

+Jonathan Weaver There are many businesses over a 20 year period that have created these levels of growth and there have been many that have failed. When you analyse it on a spreadsheet or as some paper exercise it seems spectacular. Over half of all business are claimed to not exist after 5 year and when you examine that figure it just seems freightning. But you will find businesses that do achieve 50% growth for a limited period of time. There are no magical formulas that you can use or special techniques. I worked 80 to 100 hour weeks routinely for years. I own farms, food production, window manufacturing, aerospace manufacturing, IT services and many other small to medium sized businesses. I am sure if you look you will find people who started out with $10,000 who grew their businesses to several million dollars maybe you even know people that have done this and for them to have done this they would needed to have created compounded growth of a high value. Buffet and gates are the most extraordinary cases producing off the chart growth at times. I hate the word passive investor which just assumes you can pick a good value investment and just sit back and it does all the work for you.

+Jonathan Weaver One of the production yields of a business I partnered in made growth of 70% and 50% in consecutive years. The amount of hours that went into the venture was insane and was very very tiring and with lots of headaches and problems before everything was in place.

The goal is to get as much money as a company can obtain. But that does not mean that they have Carte blanche when price setting and gaining profits. They have to compete in the market and at the same understand what people want to purchase. There is no need for oversight or price fixing by some organisation if this were to occur there would be no competition and it would be the consumer who would loose out.

Pharma is where the health treatments come from. Where exactly did you think they came from?
1
Pharma is part of the market place like everybody else. And Pharma that does not move on this will lose out. The company that produces the patents for this to be used by everybody on earth will become extremely rich. Imagine having a product that everybody above 50 has to use.

America, Europe and most of China have a stable population and it has been that way for the last 50 years. The problem most of those developed countries have is the low birth rate which will mean a massive reduction in population. The planet could easily support 30 billion people with good industry and technology.

Allot of presidents are related but not close. Most people who can track there family back to early US history are related to allot of people in the US. Allot people in the US are related to Niall of the Nine Hostages and Genghis Khan which sounds very spectacular but in reality it is part of Genetic trees.

Not even 10 more years of life. Just to get everybody to the point that they can live an active healthy life until they are 80 would be an amazing first step.

You are talking about age as an actual number but he is talking about it biologically in terms of how people have health outcomes. Why you will see a 65 year old who is like a 90 year old and a 90 year old that is like a 65 year old. That is what he is getting at. I am in my forties but look like I am in my late 20s and I can perform physically like a 28 year old. He is not referring to age as in a number but the biological structure of the body. ANd by aging he is also talking about trying to be healthier for longer and not to be a 72 year old that cannot walk and is very sick.

That's what conspiracy theorist do they will try to twist facts to there ideologies. That person wants to believe that the world has been controlled and that is the reason why there are problems in the world. No matter what facts you try and propose they will try to twist such, There are families that are very influential and probably have carried out corrupt acts but they do not control the world. There many tribes that are via for control.

@GHE-bv1pf I do not care about market risk adjusted on my own investments. That to me would be a total waste of time trying to establish risk on the businesses I invest within. I do carry out analysis that is qualitative to identify risk areas but never would I attribute any sort of computational analysis to investments. If I can trust every aspect of a business then I would invest within it.

@CR7CRAKA I am not trying to attack you but why would you invest everything you have in index funds if you have read the intelligent investor? Class A and Class B really only matter at the level of your buy in. If I am buying a majority in a small cap then I will be very interested in voting rights but you need to have a deep analysis of that identified business.

@CR7CRAKA Index funds are a form of Mutual funds that are not directly managed and have very low levels of direct input. A mixed form of investment is the best way to diversify.
