The word "teenager" comes from ages that end in "teen", such as thirteen or fourteen. So if someone lives to be 113, do they become a "teenager" again?
Damned right it does. It comes right after "Second Childhood".

Bittersweet, it’s ironic that I’m so exactly like you. That absolutely defines my life. Now I do interact with my neighbors, and occasionally with the corner store owners and employees. But I’ve only got one true friend, and I haven’t seen him in over 20 years. Plus he lives about 800 miles away. Truth is, I don’t have any desire to live forever. Why? And what would I do? Watch everyone I know die around me? I’ve already lost the two most important people in my life, so each day is just borrowed time.

How quirky and randem
This reminds me of Kane Tanaka, the oldest person in the world - 118 years, 8 months, at the minute. She was interviewed a few years ago, and said she'd quite like to get to 120. Even now, there's somewhere she'd still like to be in a few years' time; I have known a few very old people, closest of all my great-grandad who was 96, and two family friends who made it to 96 and 98 respectively, and this youthful ambition is a consistent theme in those who make it to extreme old age. My great-grandad went out every single day, and he said that the day he didn't go out would be the day he said to the man upstairs, 'I'm ready to go now'. One Sunday afternoon, he went out to the pub for a pint; on the Monday, he didn't fancy it, and on the Wednesday afternoon, he died in his sleep. Can't say fairer than that!

Just lost two grandma's within a few months, they were both early 80's. One very active with walks, the other a country lady who didn't go out. They were both happy and seemed healthy, but I think the isolation got to them both. They both knew they were deeply loved and cherished, and I guess that's what really matters.
If they lived in America, they were labeled as covid deaths. Even if they died in a plane crash.
Interestingly, I spent 5 weeks oe one of the islands of Okinawa Japan, living off of mostly very fresh sushi and miso soup. I'd spend a few days a week at an Onsen, a Japanese bath fed by mineral water, and practiced the Ashtanga yoga set for 6 6ays a week for 4 weeks. I lost 30 lbs easily although I was very well-fed. I came back to Canada and continued the yoga, but found it hard not to put the weight on again so I suspect it was probably the quality of local food that was mostly responsible for me losing my pot belly and my extra 30 lbs of weight that I have a hard time working off when I am in Canada. The island life does seem to keep you healthy!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
@@raykenredgrave5692
What doesn't kill you sometimes weakens you. Nietzsche was full of it. Philosophy does that rather a lot.
My grandfather lived more than 130 years .. died around 20 years ago. When I was a teenager, I used to ask him how he could live this long and his answer every time someone ask him about that was ( I don't know, there is no secret but I always make sure of three things:
1-I eat less.
2-I keep moving.
3-Whenever bad things happen I don't get angry and if they are above my ability to stop or change I accept & adapt just like leaving a fire burning the wood to find the next day it became cold ashes and I sleep at night like nothing happened.)
About his eating habits, he used to eat very small portions like a 6 year old even in a tiny dishes, the saucers that come with the espresso cup !! He used to refuse to eat in any normal size or big dishes.
He was a smoker but stopped around his 30s to live a hundred after.
He had a small shop and used to work daily with no help until he died. In the shop he used to roast nuts and spices and had huge grinder for coffee beans and was well known for his special coffee mix across the town. I used to work with him sometimes & I remember getting dizzy when I was roasting Anise :-)... a lot of memories coming to me now, I just miss those days & I miss him soo much. He was the only person who stood up for me and everything went down hell after he passed.
I'm 40 & until now I find new things I learned from him but I didn't know when I was young with him alive. I just remembered funny thing he used to do, he used to send me to buy salted nuts from some warehouses where they sell only bulk, then when I come back he ask me to filter out the salt using steel mesh from the 25kg bag of nuts to find out at the end 3kg of salt! so he put it in a bag and ask me to go back to the warehouse and replace them with nuts and tell them we want to buy salted nuts NOT salt & nuts!
I hope you learned something good and excuse me as English is not my main language.
Amazing story. Thank.you.Your English is excellent
The keep moving part is certainly true! Close family friend is 99yrs old almost 100! What I have noticed that he will walk anywhere within reason rain or snow! Not only that, but over the last few years he has been in 2 car wrecks! Both caused broken bones and 1 even killing his driver as well as someone broke into his home and nearly beat him to death with a baseball bat sending him to the hospital as well! Then last year he caught covid-19 and actually recovered faster than me(35). Bottom line all I can do is assume like him, or old fashion/classic cars he's built to last with proper maintenance...
First thank you for you sharing and Actually now that I think about my own family we tend to have good life spans! Generally those that take good care of themselves or not premature deaths mostly live 77-85years. However Growing up I remember having a great great grandma (102) on my father side and a 3x great grandma on my mother's side believed to be 109-111! If you wonder why the exact age is unknown as I understand it she was so old she never even had a birth certificate, ssn, or any form of government id we are aware of. She was literally home grown and never once went to the hospital for anything. she far outlived even some of her own grandchildren nobody was there to confirm. All I remember is that besides both of them being almost completely blind and deaf and basically able to eat nothing more solid than baby food and soups they might not know what the date or time was, but their minds was still very much whole and the stories they told I wish I could have payed much more attention to or recorded for future generations.
Btw the nuts story was.... Nuts! Ofc if he was that old back then I'm surprised he didn't keep the salt and use it to preserve meats... Or maybe y'all was considered rich? Probably had indoor plumbing, refrigerator, and more than 1 TV maybe even in color? 😂 I'm just joking Incase it don't translate well by txt.

Pandemic wise though I do not plan on going to very crowded places and hopefully this blows over sooner rather than later.
Meh end result is the same even if you die tomorrow or in 2080. I quit giving a shit about life expectancy in my 30's since life is downhill from there anyway. The vast majority that want to live forever are in their 20's. I bet they wouldn't want to if they were stuck at age 50 or even worse 80 for all eternity when they only have half their 25yo senses and in chronic arthritis pain all waking hours.

Having a something you have to do everyday is definitely one of the major things to living a long life. I have known so many old men who retire, then just go downhill fast & die within a few years. It doesn't matter if they retired in their 70s or 90s if you are able to work & you enjoy it then work until you are unable to then find something else to work at it will keep your body & mind better.

the focus (at least in usa and maybe most developed countries) on long life rather than quality of life is concerning. while a lot of what was discussed can be classified as quality of life, it's important to know when the struggle to keep living has no quality benefit. (currently) all life ends, almost by definition. i find it sickening when people die of old age/natural causes and the response is sadness or expressed as a loss - life is limited, celebrate their contributions to the world and acknowledge our transient existence.

A large part of the living longer based on where you live is also highly affected by your genetics
I agree, that would make sense if you consider that _there is no secret to live longer_ and people who live longer are concentrated in certain areas.
It also is to note that areas where people live longer have specific diets is Okinawa and Sardinia which includes plant based diets with some fish and meat too and minimal intake of the junk people in other areas live. Living longer is no genetic accident
Relation of mine lived until 100, I've a feeling ill make it well past 100 bar an accident

Anything that teaches you phrases isn't a good option. First of all, you should learn basic grammar and enrich your vocabulary. I'm currently learning Japanese, started with grammar and was blown away by the amount of sentences I could create after a mere two weeks, simply because grammar is the very foundation of a language.

You might want to check out pimsleurs theories on language..
@@ninjastomp1 You are welcome. Try studying grammar and submerging yourself in the language as much as possible. Listen to music or watch shows in the language that you wish to learn. It's okay if you don't understand anything, you will get used to the pronounciation and patterns, which can benefit you greatly. Good luck on your language learning endeavours!

The secret to long life is to watch thoughty2's videos.
That list of variables is absolutely essential in longevity of lifespan. One of the most important being a purpose. Another being someone that you love, and like you said, stay physical with. Of course exercise and diet. But those things don’t guarantee anything. They’re just a list of very important items to practice if you’re trying to outlive all of those around you. Maybe you’ve got a standing bet against another as to who’ll live longer, but exactly how will you collect?
I come from Sardinia, one of the blue zones, and happened to watch several interviews of people who lived longer than 100 years. Some of them smoked their entire life, all of them drank wine and ate meat regularly, if not every day. Red wine, cheese and red meat are an important part of the Sardinian diet. However, they drank locally made wine and ate organic food, plus they had an active life. So it could be a combination of healthy food (=not excessively processed, no added sugars, chemicals etc), exercise and good genes.

My grandmother died just a few weeks shy of her 107th birthday. My Papa, her husband of 68 years, died at age 97. They were only two months apart in age, so she was also 97 when he passed away. She stuck around for 9 more years subsequent to his death. She would often say she was "ready to go" to be "with my Harold," but that "God must want me here for something." And everyone loved her. She'd carry mini-butterfly clips and pin them to random strangers everywhere she went: The grocery store, parking lots, doctor visits, at church, on the beach... as she pinned them, she would tell each one, "smile, God loves you and so do I." And they smiled... every time. I try to live as she did. Barring any unexpected accident or other tragedy, I hope to live a long, productive, healthy, and impactful life, just as she did. I may not make it to 107, yet it's very possible, genetically speaking, that I MAY live well into my 80s or 90s, God willing.
Thats awesome! Your grandmother seemed like a very inspiring person. If only more people were like her, it'd be a happier, better world.
As a costarrican, I can confirm that lying is a relatively common thing to get help from the government here. *BUT* it is also something worth pointing out that people in Nicoya live active and generally healthy lives. Also, our health system is very good, and it's common knowledge that many americans and europeans come to this country to have surgeries and medical treatments which would be too expensive to have in their respective countries; so that has to be taken into account. This video is very accurate at least in regards to my country.
I think Thoughty is immortal
Lol. Word
prolly
"Phyiscal activity" "Calofornia"
What's going on here?
I was riding a bike through this tiny island off ishigaki island, I think it was called taketomi island, I came across this 98 year old woman working the fields. She was able to ride her bike around, do strenuous labor and was super adorable.
I hope I’m half as active as she is at 70 lol.
... his goal is to achieve immortality... nah, it is to live long enough to grow his beard to the floor.
Lol “Senior Researcher”. Double meaning in that.
it genuinely just sounds like the 4 points can be summed up into "dont have depression"
In Norway we have a tradition with the king sending a hand written letter to citizens passing 100 years
Time to go to norway and become 100 years old for dat street cred

Anyone remember when this guy’s intro song was a GarageBand loop?
I think he used the courier strings loop at some point
Hmm, finding out maintaining regular contact with friends, family, and neighbors will have a positive impact on my lifespan while locked down and unable to actually do any of that.
Love your channel, great information. I live on Okinawa, my wife is from here, and her grandmother is 101. Some think the local purple potato, among other things was the source of long life, but unfortunately, the diet has changed to a lot of fried food now, so I don't think Okinawa is going to remain the blue zone for much longer. 30 years ago when I first lived here, we ate a lot of the purple potato, but now, they are harder to find. :( Smoking and drinking is very common here, but the men usually drink and smoke more, so that may explain why the women live longer. My wife's grandmother also smoked until her 80's, not sure how much she drank, and her husband did pass away in his 70's. My wife worked in a nursing home/adult daycare, and there were quite a few women pushing 100 or older there.
That's very sad to hear
so tl;dr, capitalism and its bad habits breaks us into living less
Imagine living a 100 years as a seventh-day adventist....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why would I want to be 100 years old? Living is already painful enough for me.

Basically, living a long life is directly related to how well you picked your parents.
Physical activity, eat healthy, positive attitude and be grateful, you'll stay long.

I thought it was a melons 🍈- according to Cindy Crawford..
My uncle which is 104 years old now, has been an alcoholic his whole life and as the saying goes, we joked "está conservado en alcohol" (he's is preserved in alcohol), however it doesn't work for all people, one of his brothers which was an alcoholic too died when he was around 50 years old. My mother was the youngest of all the siblings and she died at 91 years old about three years ago but my uncle keeps going
Some people say they want to live forever that's way to long I'll just get through today.

"Radioactive AND smells like rotten eggs?! Make mine a double!" Still laughing, brilliant comments from Thoughty2 as always! 😂🤣😁👌👌
🤣🤦🏾
anyone else see that genuine smile at the start,, I watched it back twice
Here's an interesting fact: The last widow of a Civil War soldier died in 2020.
I live in Saint Augustine not too far from the fountain! Love the show Thoughty2!
I've been to St. Augustine and at least drove past "The Fountain of Youth." More interested in the seafood restaurant down the street. ;-)
I thought the “Blue Zone” was referring to blue-haired old women! PS: I am an old lady myself, ain’t pickin’ on anybody!
Glad to have u here. May you live the rest of your life in happiness
@@alsparkproductions7849 Why, thank you!
"...swore by sushi". Hahahahaha! Nicely done, 42.
A lovely take on the subject! and great to give Aubrey some cover!
However, Aubrey's basic idea, that's even featured in the slideshow behind him, is to intermittently fix damage that accumulates in the body and manifests aging. Not "to exclude death from our genes" like you said at 20:19. He has assessed that gene editing to create a perfect metabolism, which would in turn make your body function optimally without aging forever, to be too complicated. As he shows that metabolism is too complicated, and add onto that genetic engineering, and it's just a wast problem-space.
And to identify and fix damage is clearly much simpler. As there are clear things like lessening liver function, which in turn makes you frail, so as a simple example, you could just replace your aged liver with a young healthy liver, and so on.
But more on the micro-biologic scale, where chemical or some other means, could remove the damage of aging that the body is unable to deal with, as we've evolved to procreate, and be a bit of a use to our tribe in old age, but not to deal with *all* the damage of aging, like some other organisms.
So, according to the four guidelines thanks to the pandemic lockdowns we have shortened the lifespans of most of the population.
But then dying from a virus is also a lifespan reducing event.
Better an uncertain future than certain death.
Yes i need to live as long as possible thank you
Not forever ?
@@WeylandLabs yeah I’m probably gonna be dead by then, plus, why would anything be important if I could leave forever? If I could do anything at any time there would be no motivation :(
@@julias3048 Because you'd be able to help society grow, mold it in Innova to your will and choose the direction of survival. Why would I want to live forever ... ? Simple id be a GOD !
@@WeylandLabs Not quite. What about aging? When you are old and sickly you might even lose your “ikigai” and possibly WANT to die. Life is only special because of death. Imagine outliving your children, your spouse, and everyone you love. Sounds a little sad to me.
@@julias3048 I have no children im 40 years old and look like I'm 25 still. ( I take care of myself ) I make pretty good money, I own not a lot because what you own ends up owning you. I don't know my family and I do what ever I want when ever how ever with who ever any time any place in the world. My mind is forever growing in knowledge... im fit athletic and educated yet still take tremendous life risks. No im not lonely at all... no gf because a lot of women cannot match my desire and passion for life.
One side of my family is full of seventh-day adventists. They're a little odd but they all live up until their late 90's. My great grandma was 3 months shy of 100. Took zero medications, and walked a few miles a day, every day most of her life. They're vegetarians.
As a Greek I confirm. My grandmother is 107 and We have a life lesson. Slow down your life dont rush your life
Don't marry and stay with someone who drains the life out of you.
What🤣
You okay, buddy?
Sounds like you shouldn't get married.
@maltese 0217 The levels of infidelity would be off the charts.
Thoughty2 is basically like Ridddle, but chilled and with a mustache.
And Thoughty2 is not flooding bullshit. Ridddle often spews lies from every orifice left/right and center.
The gist of it might be right, but verifying their scientific essence often reveals they got no clue what they're talking about. They're at times even worse than the BE AMAZED channel. Gosh what a posers.
The description of how people live in the blue zones seems to hold an important lesson to me. The lifestyle described may not necessarily help you live longer, but it sounds like it will certainly help you live better. Healthy diet, consistent and I must emphasize consistent, moderate exercise and possibly most important, strong, social, and family bonds sound like the recipe for a happy life it’s 59 years or 109 years. Cheers.
