I am so incredibly envious of the future humans that will live in a world without death.

I have decided that soon I will quit my job ($1M+ TC at FAANG), and I will dedicate the entirety of my remaining life (I am ~30) to helping humanity solve death, even if I never benefit from it.

This is a difficult decision for me because I am giving up a life of guaranteed luxury and comfort for a moonshot that almost certainly will not pan out. But I can think of no greater and more meaningful pursuit. This is my Zero Dawn. Moving the needle here is the only thing that will let me - ironically - die happy.

I think there are a lot of engineers out there looking for something more meaningful than their FAANG or tech job. Immense potential to be leveraged here if we come together.
