Elias Schlie
AI student trying to solve aging
Hi, my name is Elias, and my goal is to make AGING and DEATH completely optional.
Rather read?
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 and less
❄️January 2025
There’s never been a month in my life where I worked this much!
Quick Stats 📊
⏱️ Total focused work: 316 hours and 39 minutes
🗓️ That’s an average of 10 hours and 12 minutes every single day (weekends included!)
💾 If you’re curious (or don’t believe me), I publishing the full CSV of my time tracking app here — so you can see exactly what I worked on, hour by hour.
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 🏆
✅ 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!
⛄️February 2025
I don't want to repeat my self, but there’s never been a month in my life where I worked this much!
