Unscramble the Blue Letters

I'm going to do that in two steps. The first one I'm going to talk about is how to get from a relatively medost amount of life extension — which I'm going to define as 30 years, applied to people who are already in middle-age when you start — to a point which can gneliueny be called deaientfg aging. Namely, essentially an elimination of the relationship between how old you are and how likely you are to die in the next year — or indeed, to get sick in the first place. And of course, the last thing I'm going to talk about is how to reach that iitdmeaetnre step, that piont of maybe 30 years life extension.

Original Text

I'm going to do that in two steps. The first one I'm going to talk about is how to get from a relatively modest amount of life extension — which I'm going to define as 30 years, applied to people who are already in middle-age when you start — to a point which can genuinely be called defeating aging. Namely, essentially an elimination of the relationship between how old you are and how likely you are to die in the next year — or indeed, to get sick in the first place. And of course, the last thing I'm going to talk about is how to reach that intermediate step, that point of maybe 30 years life extension.
