[00:04.43]in futurology.
[00:05.34]Actually, we do now know how to extend life-
[00:08.55]by eating less and exercising more.
[00:10.99]Even so, Californian cryogenics super-
[00:13.97]salesmen have persuaded some people
[00:16.53]to part with vast sums of money on a promise

[00:45.79]stuck in an endless holding pattern
[00:47.92]while we desperately 4 tried to do our shopping?
[00:49.53]
