"Laura Deming, founder of the Longevity Fund, on being an heiress with nearly infinite resources to pursue her dreams".
I think the homeschooling is likely second to being rich in terms of her world view and success.
- causality0 6y agoThe article also describes her as a scientist and I'm struggling to figure out why. According to Wikipedia she did lab assistant work at ages 12-13 but dropped out of university after accepting a $100,000 Thiel Fellowship to become a venture capitalist. If she does any actual longevity research work I haven't been able to find it.
- dannykwells 6y agoYes exactly. Anyone rich can be a scientist with the right PR. This us the postmodern dystopia we live in. (Alternatively, always has been like that, in some sense.)
