I'm pretty skeptical that there are vertebrates that live 200+ years. All the longest living giant galapagos tortoises conk at ~150 years old and they all have very shady origin stories for how they got to the zoo.pic.twitter.com/eeFbEGpfVi

I haven't given much thought but I doubt their method yields an accurate result. At first, it seems stupid to figure this out, but then you realize that vertebrates are quite similar to us and we could study them to figure out how to increase our own longevity.
Yes, that’s a good way to find ways for longevity. The problem suffers that, by definition, the estimate of the age of outliers with models calibrated on non outliers suffers from the same point from Taleb’s paper from yesterday: the average & the tail are different beasts.
Can you think of any other logical ways (as opposed to Rory Sutherland's suggestion haha) to seek out longevity?
