Peter Diamandis asked Martine Rothblatt what she would do if she were 25 today. Her answer, with zero hesitation: build longevity-escape-velocity technology as fast as possible.
Her core thesis: "There is nothing that people will pay more for than life." Her proposed path is to regenerate bodies, manufacture organs on demand, and use AI-created abundance to fund the biotech that keeps people alive.
