At the top of Maslow's Hierarchy, there's a hidden door on the roof which reveals a new level:

• Life extension. For yourself and everybody else.

So sad watching people age and die of diseases.
Irony:

The hidden door at the top takes you back to the bottom of the pyramid.

Survival.
Whoever makes breakthroughs in the life extension space will be a trillionaire.

Warren Buffett would give all his money for 10 more healthy years.

But the wins are greater than financial... It's seeing loved ones live longer.
Life extension: A potential product with unlimited inelastic demand from every single person.

THREAD: The top 0.1% of ideas I’ve stumbled upon on the internet.

The rabbit holes (without the distractions).
1. Directional Arrows of Progress

“Study the undeniable arrows of progress.” - @wolfejosh

• The future is kinda like a crossword puzzle.

• Nobody is going to spell out for you - but clues exist.

• Wolfe uses the trend line of history as clues for the future.
• E.g. Look at this directional arrow of progress

• Every time the computer gets more powerful, smaller and closer to our bodies.

• Wolfe used this trend line to bet that Brain-Machine interfaces will be huge and started funding companies in the space.

Paradoxical truths:

• The best marketing never looks like marketing.

• The best salesperson never looks like a salesperson.
Tough to understand. Even tougher to apply.
This is what the world's best salesman looks like.

He looks like an anti salesman.

Feature not a bug.

Francis Ngannou is fighting for the UFC heavyweight belt this weekend.

His life story >>> Any movie that exists

It's criminally overlooked.

THREAD...
• Francis is often described as the most physically gifted athlete the UFC has ever seen.

• However, I would argue as impressive as athleticism is... His brain is better.

• Francis' story has been criminally underlooked by the media. It deserves to be a Hollywood film.
• His story isn't the cliche "work hard, hustle and believe bro".

• Francis' story is possibly the most superhuman high agency, grit and out the box thinking - ever.

• I've been down internet rabbit holes of his story since hearing it on @joerogan

• Steve Jobs read a study that measured the locomotion efficiency of species on earth

• The highlight of mother nature - human beings - came 3rd of the way down the list
• However, a human being on a bicycle blew every other species away - including the Condor.

• "A computer is the most remarkable tool we've ever come up with. And it's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds." - Steve Jobs

Let's get into pimping your bike...

Width metrics:

• Impressions
• Followers
• Likes
• Views

Depth metrics:

• DM’s
• Super fans
• Word of mouth
• Remembering it 6 months from now

All the long term wins for businesses and creators are going to those who invest in depth.
The biggest problem internet companies + creators face:

It’s much easier to measure width metrics than depth metrics currently.
This results in what I call “The Doerr Problem”

Whatever is easiest to be measured will be optimised for

We chase width because it’s easy to measure

“What gets measured gets managed.” - John Doerr

If you can measure depth, you could change the internet’s click bait culture
