Hey! My name is Elias Schlie, and my goal is to make aging and death optional.
If that sounds crazy, I get it — but I’ve made a video where I explain exactly why this is the mission I’m dedicating my life to.
How do I plan to achieve this?
Here’s the short version:
First, I’m building a world-class understanding of Biology and AI/ML.
Once I feel ready, I’ll join (or build) an extraordinary team of people who are just as ambitious and driven as I am.
I believe the fastest way to achieve greatness is to surround yourself with great people.
This year (2025), my full focus is on Step One.
Every month, I’ll upload a short video sharing my progress, my struggles, and my learnings

There’s never been a month in my life where I worked this much!

⏱️ Total focused work: 316 hours and 39 minutes
🗓️ That’s an average of 10 hours and 12 minutes every single day (weekends included!)

What I spent my time on 🎓
What I spent my time on 🎓
The bulk of my time went into courses. Notably:
📚 Harvard’s CS50 (Computer Science + Python Programming)
📖 Introduction to Biology
🤖 A bunch of courses for my university (where I study AI)
I also took some time to get clear on how I want to approach learning about longevity — mainly by diving deep into the LBF website and watching Mark Hamalainen’s talk: Longevity Roadmaps.
Main Achievements 🏆
Main Achievements 🏆
✅ Completed nearly a whole semester at university in just one month — with grades like 9, 9.5, 9.5, and 10 (in the Dutch system, 10 is the absolute highest, so these are 🔥)
✅ Felt like I 10x’ed my biology knowledge this month — to the point where listening to longevity talks no longer feels like they’re speaking a foreign language
✅ Completed a 7-day fast — which was incredible!

I call this month "Machine Learning March": I built a Linear Regressor, a Logistic Regressor, a Decision Tree, and a Neural Network completely from scratch without ML libraries. (check it out here)
