Human lifespan used to be 30 years, 25 years. But there's no basic, fundamental reason why it has to be short.
If lifespan jumps by 30 or 40 years, that has enormous implications.

In some ways, it's easier to go from short form to long form than vice versa. I used to make 30 second 'movies,' and I think if I only did long form I would find it difficult to adjust to that short a length. 'I gotta say something in 30 seconds. Forget about it!'

More fundamental than religion is our basic human spirituality. We have a basic human disposition towards love, kindness and affection, irrespective of whether we have a religious framework or not.

Donald Trump had a hit TV show on NBC for 14 years! He was covered by every major newspaper for 30 years. The idea that any one person humanized... He's been the most human figure for decades.

There are people that tell you we gotta colonize Mars in the next 50 years if we're to survive as a human race. It's absolute stupidity. All it does is scare people - particularly young, impressionable minds who already think there isn't gonna be a planet in 30 years. Now they're thinking, since there isn't gonna be a planet, "If we don't get to Mars in 30 years, I'm gonna die."
