ny_quantО том как жить дольше и лучше много кто пишет и я особенно не интересуюсь. Но я не мог не прочитать на Блумберге заметку о и небольшое интервью с основоположником quantitative finance, the great Ed Thorp.
The mathematics professor and hedge fund manager Edward Thorp rocketed to fame in the early 1960s by showing readers how to best casinos in blackjack. His book Beat the Dealer laid out a groundbreaking system of card counting, followed by guides to roulette and other gambling games. Thorp also invented or perfected a number of the quantitative hedge fund strategies being used today, and he delivered 30 years of 20% annual returns for the hedge funds he operated, with only a handful of down months, none large.
Less well known is that Thorp has devoted his talents as much to health and longevity as to beating casinos and markets. At 91 he’s remarkably healthy and vigorous. Although he’s no longer running marathons or doing serious weight training, Thorp jogs and works out at the gym regularly. He weighs 155—2 pounds above his weight at age 17—and can do two chin-ups and 15 pushups. He analyzes scientific literature and manages his regimen carefully.
Я не буду копировать все интервью целиком, лишь один вопрос. What mistakes did you make?
I’ve made two mistakes. The first thing is I wish I’d realized the problem with skin cancer from sun exposure sooner and more clearly. I got too much sun. I’m blessed with very good skin genetically, but it’d certainly be a lot better than it is now if I’d had less sun exposure and had been more careful when I got exposure.
The other mistake is being overzealous in exercise. The bad things that have happened to me have been of my own making—for example, weightlifting. I ended up herniating a disk. Running. I ended up tripping and falling and breaking an elbow and detaching a tricep tendon, which led to an operation and a long recovery.

Is there anything from finance or gambling that influences your thinking on longevity?
I think managing risks like you do in finance carries right over to managing risks in life. For example, the risk of being killed by an automobile is about 1 basis point per year in the United States [i.e., one chance in 10,000 of being killed by an automobile each year]. But it’s about 80 basis points over a lifetime in the United States. So that’s a risk that you can think about, quantify and manage. For example, obey the rules, have short commutes instead of long commutes, drive safe cars instead of risky cars and so on. You can cut the risk in half or more.
Я со своей стороны планирую в итоге переехать в ranch чтобы в доме не было ступенек.
