Would've been easier just to pick a religion that promises an afterlife. :ablobthinking:

@crackurbones

When I wrote that, I thought Altman was an atheist, but just now google says he is Jewish. I wonder what his specific views/beliefs are on an afterlife. I mean, if someone believes in an afterlife, then they would not be so concerned about extending this mortal life we have now, right?

Maybe he just wants to invest in the company because a lot of people don't actually believe in an afterlife and are worried about dying, so perhaps he could make a lot of money that way (irrespective of his own personal beliefs).

A quick search suggests (but never stated) he is an atheist jew.
