The conventional approach to extending life by eating nutritiously, going to bed early, and exercising may be quixotic because death cannot reliably be warded off through diet and lifestyle alone, and more fundamentally because the best way to lengthen a life is not by adding more years chronologically but by densifying subjective experience of time.
