Good question, I decided to pace myself far from burnout and ended up only getting 90 years experience in 45 years. It was still worth it in a scientific field which each year builds rather than eventually drops out of support. There's almost nobody walking around with even 45 years of experience, and far less who made compounding progress. It was hard to pull ahead to begin with, and never-ending effort to maintain, but once there is a tangible edge you can leverage, then it only grows over time. I may be very lucky for good health right now, but maybe it can be due to not having a very similar social life, family, or diet, relative to the mainstream to begin with ;)
