HOW LONG DO YOU WANT TO LIVE? Some People Are Satisfied To Live Until They Cease Being Fit And Agile, Regardless Of What Age They Attain. Others want to live for as long as they can for they are afraid of dying, so they will pay whatever they can to get younger.

If you were given one billion seconds to live from the day you become cognizant of personal responsibility, you would probably live somewhere between 106-117 years of age.  If you were also given $1 to spend every for every second of your existence, how would you see yourself spending it? 

In total you are looking at the ability to possibly spending the equivalent of some $4 billion, depending on how whether you reached 117 years of age. Bryan Johnson, for example, when around 40 years old, had a mere $300 million to spend, and he has chosen to seek the elixir of youth, so he doesn't grow old. Even then it is doubtful that he is spending $1 a second, and probably nothing near $100k a day. For if he were to spend $100k a day, he would need more than $4 billion in the even he were to live 120 years from now. Although, in Bryan Johnson's case, investments may be able to extend the shelf life of his nest egg. Besides, he is probably spending only around $10,000 a week on living expenses. Not enough to create hole in his nest. In fact, his income from investments probably would be sustaining him and his original $300 million, but that is only an assumption. A different story emerges according to the man himself, for he has already blown $100 million, one third of his goodies.

Here is the quick breakdown on Bryan Johnson's net work and financials, according to Moneywise.

Numbers from Bryan Johnson’s Moneywise Episode

1. • Current Net Worth: ~$200 million
   • Total Earnings from Braintree Sale: $300 million (after-tax take)
   • Time Spent Bootstrapping Braintree: 4–5 years (before raising outside capital)
   • Years Running Braintree: 7 years (founded at 27, sold at 34)
   • Personal Income During Braintree's Early Years: a couple tens of thousands
   • First-Year Earnings as a Door-to-Door Credit Card Salesman: $180,000
   • Personal Monthly Burn Rate (Ages 34–44): ~$10K–$20K. Rent back then: $5,000/month
   • Investment Breakdown After Exit:
     • $100 million venture fund in deep tech
     • $64 million invested in Kernel (brain interface company)
     • $20–$30 million into Blueprint (longevity-focused nutrition and lifestyle business)
   • Liquid vs. Illiquid Net Worth:
     • 60–70% of Net Worth is illiquid (mostly in startups and investments)
   • Major Personal Purchases:
     • Private jet (later sold during COVID)
     • Adventure experiences: dog sledding in the Arctic, visiting an active volcano in Iceland
   • Future Liquidity Events: Several startup investments are expected to IPO or be acquired soon

   Building Wealth with Purpose

   At 21, Bryan decided he wanted to "change the course of humanity." This wasn't just ambitious dreaming—it was strategic planning. He calculated exactly what he'd need:

   • $7 million baseline to buy freedom and time (calculated in 2002)
   • He made different tiers of capital needed: $50M, $250M, $1B, and several billion
   • Each tier would unlock different possibilities for impact
   • Ultimate goal: create something that would matter in the 25th century

   "I bootstrapped Braintree, so for the first 4 or 5 years I took no outside capital," Bryan explains. "By year four we were around like 4 to 6 million thereabouts. But we were growing so fast and we had some of the fastest growing companies in the world as customers."

   Strategic Investment After Exit

   After selling Braintree for $300 million, Bryan deployed his capital:

   • Created a $100 million venture fund focused on deep tech
   • Invested $64 million in Kernel, a brain interface company
   • Maintained surprisingly modest personal spending of $10-20k monthly
   • Kept his housing costs low, renting a $5,000/month home
   • Only major luxury purchase: a private jet (sold during Covid)

   The Mission Over Money

   Bryan's financial decisions are driven by his mission. He estimates he could have turned his exit money into $10 billion through conventional business ventures, but chose not to because "from the 25th century perspective, who cares?"

   His current focus and capital allocation:

   • Blueprint, his ecommerce and media company: $20-30 million invested in health optimization
   • Don't Die: Building a global movement
   • 60-70% of remaining wealth in illiquid investments, mostly startup investments.
   • Current estimated net worth: "a couple hundred million"

So Johnson is not spending $100,000 a day. Actually, even over 100 years such a spend would amount to an astronomical total of $3.65 billion., a very difficult thing to do.

Here are some ways someone could theoretically spend that amount of money:

1. Luxury Living:

   • Renting or purchasing multiple luxury homes in various locations around the world.
   • Hiring personal chefs, trainers, and staff to maintain a lavish lifestyle.

2. Travel:

   • Frequent first-class travel around the world, staying in five-star hotels.
   • Chartering private jets and yachts for vacations.

3. Collecting:

   • Acquiring high-value art, antiques, or collectibles.
   • Investing in rare cars, jewelry, or other luxury items.

4. Business Ventures:

   • Investing in startups or businesses, potentially funding multiple projects simultaneously.
   • Buying and operating multiple businesses or franchises.

5. Entertainment:

   • Hosting extravagant parties, events, or concerts.
   • Funding film productions or other large-scale entertainment projects.

6. Health and Wellness:

   • Accessing top-tier medical care, wellness retreats, and personal trainers.
   • Investing in cutting-edge health technologies or treatments.

7. Education:

   • Paying for private education for multiple children or family members.
   • Funding educational institutions or programs.

8. Gambling:

   • Spending large amounts in casinos or on high-stakes games.

9. Miscellaneous:

• Purchasing luxury goods, fashion, and accessories.
• Engaging in hobbies that require significant financial investment, such as flying lessons or extreme sports.
10. To be honest, while it may seem extravagant, it is theoretically possible to spend that amount of money consistently over a long period. However, it would require careful planning.

11. A degenerate gambler would be able to plough through that much money living in the casinos of Las Vegas, Macau or Monaco, until thrown out penniless.

12. A philanthropist would be able to donate that much money t

    o various charities, foundations, or causes. Funding scholarships, research, or community projects.

THE PROPHECY THAT IS MISINTERPRETED BY EVERYBODY SO FAR HAS BEEN MADE KNOW TODAY. You Can See For Yourself How Amazingly Accurate This Prophecy Is And What It Means For You. Daniel's prophecies are unbelievably spot on in an overall sense, when it comes to showing how history is to converge at one place in one moment of time to reveal to the world God reigns.

 The accuracy of Daniel’s prophecy is such that skeptics cannot believe the writer did not name Antiochus IV Epiphanies. For they believe this was clearly written after the fact. 

However, what these skeptics do not realize, this prophecy also points to the four empires that are to follow the Greek Empire, and identifies what can be expected at the end of the age that we are living in now. This is because the Bible often has more than one application. After all, the written word of God is very much a historical record, as well as a being a prophetic message with a devotional application.

The Islamic Caliphate is something that is overlooked. Yet this is something that is growing around the world. Not so much through making converts, although this happens, usually by force, but more by breeding. Muslim women often have around 8-10 children. Europeans and those in wealthier countries have an average of 1 child. Even if an insignificant number have 4-5 children, the number of women who are remaining childless are becoming more significant in number.

What may not seem so evident in the above map of the globe is the extent Muslims are penetrating the countries where the coloring is fawn. Islamic penetration will be much greater given another 20-30 years and the numbers of Muslims in these countries that will have natural citizenry will see these colored green in the above schemata.  At current birth rates, Muslims should quadruple in number by 2050. This is, of course, if the world system survives that long.

With what is happening in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, Zionist occupation of what is deemed Greater Israel, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, could well bring matters to a sudden end, quicker than we think.

CHRISITIANS GENERALLY HAVE A VERY POOR UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE TRUTH EVEN THOUGH THEY ACT AS IF THEY HAVE IT ALL. Many Christians Are Satisfied Just Knowing That Jesus Chris Died For Their Sins And All They Have To Do Is Call Out To Him Whenever They Have A Need. Ignorace of course is no excuse, and one of the reasons so many people suffer unnecessarily. So what does AI have to say?

In the Bible, we learn that there are two categories of teaching: milk and meat. While it is easy to find sites that inform readers about what is termed the milk of the word, when it comes to meat, it appears these sites are at loss. They have no idea what is the meat of the word. 

Somewhat disappointed I turned to see if I could get any assistance from the AI GPT-4o mini. The interaction that occurred is below.  Since nothing was coming forth, I thought I might see whether the AI bot could retrieve anything to do with the stages and facets of the salvific process. The AI disappointed. So I gave the AI a list. The AI showed its appreciation stating:

Thank you for sharing your list of the eighteen aspects of the salvific process. This comprehensive framework captures many key theological concepts that are central to understanding salvation in Christian theology.

Soteriology is something that I have majored in, so while the AI considers the list below comprehensive, there is much more not considered.

The revealing conversion is below:

What is the meat of Christian teaching?

GPT-4o mini:

The core teachings of Christianity can be summarized in several key concepts:

1.     The Nature of God: Christianity teaches that there is one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. This is known as the Trinity.

2.     Jesus Christ: Central to Christian belief is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God who was sent to save humanity from sin. His crucifixion and resurrection are seen as the means of reconciliation between God and humanity.

3.     Salvation: Christians believe that salvation is a gift from God that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. This involves repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior.

 The Bible: The Bible is considered the inspired word of God and serves as the authoritative guide for faith and practice. It contains the Old Testament and the New Testament, which includes the teachings of Jesus and the early church.

5.     Love and Compassion: A fundamental teaching of Christianity is the commandment to love God and to love one’s neighbor as oneself. This principle of love is central to Christian ethics and moral behavior.

6.     The Kingdom of God: Christians believe in the establishment of God's kingdom on earth, which involves living according to God's will and spreading the message of Jesus.

7.     Eternal Life: Christianity teaches that believers will have eternal life with God after death, while those who reject God face separation from Him.

8.     Community and Worship: The importance of community, fellowship, and worship is emphasized, often expressed through participation in church activities, sacraments (like baptism and communion), and service to others.

These teachings form the foundation of Christian faith and practice, guiding believers in their relationship with God and with one another.

So you cannot provide what teaching it is that's referred to as meat in Hebrews 5.12-14?

GPT-4o mini:

In Hebrews 5:12-14, the term "meat" (or "solid food") is used metaphorically to refer to deeper, more mature teachings of the Christian faith, as opposed to "milk," which represents the basic, foundational teachings suitable for new believers or spiritual infants.

The passage emphasizes the need for believers to grow in their understanding and maturity in faith. The author of Hebrews criticizes the audience for remaining at a basic level of understanding when they should be progressing to more profound truths.

In this context, "meat" refers to advanced doctrines and insights about Christ, the nature of God, the priesthood of Jesus, and the implications of faith for living a Christian life. It suggests that mature Christians should be able to discern good from evil and engage with more complex theological concepts, reflecting a deeper relationship with God and a more robust practice of faith.

Overall, the passage encourages believers to move beyond elementary teachings and to seek a deeper, more mature understanding of their faith.

But you have no definitive idea of what those teachings are?

GPT-4o mini:

The specific "meat" or "solid food" teachings referred to in Hebrews 5:12-14 are not explicitly detailed in that passage, but the broader context of the Book of Hebrews provides insight into what these deeper teachings might include. Here are some key themes and doctrines that are often considered part of the "meat" of Christian teaching in the context of Hebrews:

1.     The Priesthood of Christ: A significant theme in Hebrews is the comparison between the Levitical priesthood and the priesthood of Jesus, who is described as a high priest in the order of Melchizedek. This teaching emphasizes the superiority of Christ's priesthood and His role as the mediator between God and humanity.

2.     The New Covenant: Hebrews discusses the establishment of a new covenant through Jesus' sacrifice, which fulfills and surpasses the old covenant. This includes understanding the implications of grace, forgiveness, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

3.     Faith and Perseverance: The call to persevere in faith, even in the face of trials and persecution, is a central theme. This includes understanding the nature of faith as trust in God's promises and the assurance of things hoped for.

4.     The Nature of Christ: Deeper teachings about the divinity and humanity of Christ, His role in creation, and His ultimate authority are explored throughout Hebrews.

5.     Eschatology: The teachings about the end times, the return of Christ, and the final judgment are also part of the deeper understanding of Christian doctrine.

6.     Moral and Ethical Living: The implications of mature faith for ethical behavior and community life are emphasized, encouraging believers to live out their faith in practical ways.

While these themes are not exhaustively listed in Hebrews 5:12-14, they represent the kind of deeper theological insights that the author encourages believers to pursue as they grow in their faith. The call to move from "milk" to "meat" is an invitation to engage with these more complex and profound aspects of Christian teaching.

1 Corinthians 3:2 talks about meat. What is this meat?

 GPT-4o mini:

In 1 Corinthians 3:2, the Apostle Paul uses the metaphor of "milk" and "meat" (or "solid food") to describe different levels of spiritual maturity among believers. In this context, Paul is addressing the Corinthian church, which was struggling with divisions and immaturity in their faith.

When Paul refers to "milk," he is indicating the basic teachings of Christianity that are suitable for new believers or those who are spiritually immature. This includes foundational doctrines such as the nature of God, the life and work of Jesus Christ, and the basics of salvation.

The "meat" or "solid food," on the other hand, represents deeper, more complex teachings that require a greater level of understanding and spiritual maturity. While Paul does not specify exactly what these deeper teachings are in this particular verse, they can be understood to include:

1.     Advanced Doctrines: This may encompass more profound theological concepts, such as the nature of the Trinity, the significance of Christ's resurrection, and the implications of grace and redemption.

2.     Moral and Ethical Teachings: Deeper insights into how to live out one's faith in a way that reflects Christ's character and teachings, including issues of love, forgiveness, and community.

3.     Understanding of Spiritual Gifts: In the broader context of 1 Corinthians, Paul discusses spiritual gifts and their use within the church, which requires a mature understanding of how the body of Christ functions.

4.     Eschatological Teachings: Insights into the end times, the resurrection of the dead, and the hope of eternal life.

5.     The Nature of the Church: A deeper understanding of the role and function of the church as the body of Christ and the implications for believers' lives.

In summary, the "meat" in 1 Corinthians 3:2 refers to the more advanced teachings and doctrines of the Christian faith that are meant for those who have matured in their understanding and practice of their faith. Paul encourages the Corinthians to grow beyond the basics and to engage with these deeper truths.

 From my own search on the internet and from what you have provided, I am convinced no one has any idea of what the meat of the word that the Bible talks about?

 GPT-4o mini:

The concept of "meat" or "solid food" in the Bible, particularly in passages like Hebrews 5:12-14 and 1 Corinthians 3:2, is indeed somewhat abstract and can be interpreted in various ways. While there is no definitive list of what constitutes this "meat," many theologians and scholars suggest that it encompasses deeper theological truths and mature understandings of the Christian faith.

Here are some common interpretations of what the "meat" might include:

1.     Deeper Doctrinal Understanding: This could involve a more profound grasp of doctrines such as the Trinity, the nature of Christ, and the significance of His atonement.

2.     Spiritual Maturity: The "meat" may refer to the ability to apply biblical principles to complex life situations, demonstrating wisdom and discernment in moral and ethical decisions.

3.     Understanding of the Church and Community: This includes insights into the role of the church, the use of spiritual gifts, and the importance of fellowship and accountability among believers.

4.     Eschatology: A deeper understanding of end times, the resurrection, and the hope of eternal life.

5.     Living Out the Faith: The "meat" may also involve practical applications of faith, such as loving one's neighbor, engaging in social justice, and living a life that reflects Christ's teachings.

While interpretations may vary, the overarching theme is that "meat" represents a call to spiritual growth and maturity, encouraging believers to move beyond basic teachings and engage with the more profound aspects of their faith.

It's understandable that this topic can feel ambiguous, as the Bible often uses metaphorical language that can be interpreted in different ways. The journey of understanding these deeper truths is often seen as a lifelong process for many believers. If you have specific aspects or teachings in mind that you would like to explore further, feel free to share!

No wonder the Christian belief system of the people I meet is so shallow?

GPT-4o mini:

It's true that many people may have varying levels of understanding and engagement with their faith, and this can lead to perceptions of a shallow belief system. Several factors contribute to this phenomenon:

1.     Cultural Context: In some cultures, Christianity may be practiced more as a tradition than as a deeply held belief, leading to a lack of deeper theological understanding.

2.     Education and Discipleship: Not all churches prioritize teaching deeper theological concepts or providing opportunities for spiritual growth. Discipleship programs and Bible studies can vary widely in depth and effectiveness.

3.     Personal Engagement: Individual believers may not take the initiative to explore their faith beyond surface-level teachings. Personal study, reflection, and engagement with scripture can significantly impact one's understanding.

4.     Complexity of Theology: Some theological concepts can be complex and challenging to grasp, which may discourage deeper exploration.

5.     Focus on Practicality: Many believers may prioritize practical applications of their faith in daily life over theological discussions, which can lead to a more experiential rather than doctrinal understanding of faith.

6.     Diverse Interpretations: Christianity encompasses a wide range of denominations and interpretations, which can lead to confusion or differing levels of emphasis on certain teachings.

While some may find their faith to be shallow, others may be deeply engaged and continually seeking to grow in their understanding. Encouraging deeper study, open discussions about faith, and fostering a community that values theological exploration can help address these concerns.

How many stages of salvation are there that any one has published?

GPT-4o mini:

The concept of stages or aspects of salvation can vary among different Christian traditions and theological perspectives. However, many theologians and scholars generally recognize several key components or stages in the process of salvation. Here are some commonly referenced stages:1.     

1.     Prevenient Grace: This is the grace that goes before, enabling individuals to respond to God. It is often associated with the idea that God initiates the relationship and offers the opportunity for salvation.

2.     Justification: This is the act of being declared righteous before God. It occurs when a person places their faith in Jesus Christ, resulting in the forgiveness of sins and a right standing with God. Justification is often seen as a one-time event.

3.     Regeneration: Also known as being "born again," this refers to the spiritual transformation that occurs when a person accepts Christ. It involves the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing new life to the believer.

4.     Sanctification: This is the ongoing process of spiritual growth and maturity in the life of a believer. It involves becoming more like Christ and living according to God's will. Sanctification can be seen as both a definitive act and a progressive journey.

5.     Glorification: This is the final stage of salvation, which occurs at the end of time when believers are resurrected and receive glorified bodies. It represents the ultimate fulfillment of salvation and eternal life with God

Different Christian traditions may emphasize these stages differently or use different terminology. For example, some traditions may focus more on the initial act of faith and justification, while others may place greater emphasis on the process of sanctification.

In addition to these stages, some theological frameworks may include concepts like assurance of salvation, perseverance of the saints, and the role of faith and works in the believer's life.

Overall, while there is no universally agreed-upon number of stages of salvation, the above components are commonly recognized in many Christian teachings. If you're interested in a specific tradition or theological perspective, I can provide more tailored information!

I say that there are eighteen aspects that are stages of the salvation process do you know what they are?

GPT-4o mini:

While there isn't a universally accepted list of eighteen specific aspects or stages of the salvation process in mainstream Christian theology, various theological frameworks and teachings may outline multiple components of salvation. If you have a specific list of eighteen aspects in mind, I would be interested to hear them.

However, I can provide a more detailed breakdown of aspects of salvation that some theological traditions might consider, which could potentially align with your understanding. Here are some aspects that might be included in a comprehensive view of salvation:

1.     Prevenient Grace: God's grace that enables individuals to respond to Him.
