9.5 out of 10. In his dick.

Has anyone asked him why he wants to live forever if that's what it takes?

"You get to live forever but in exchange you have to get incredibly painful injections in your dick on a daily basis."

Sounds like a cursed genie wish.

What's the quality of my life? Like 20s forever or do I still age?

Probably because he knows he can't take his wealth with him in death.

What's the point of being pointlessly wealthy if you can't be pointlessly wealthy forever?

My guess is he wants to live forever because he feels he has made no contribution to the world, or does not feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose from raising his family. Maybe he feels cracking the secret could be his contribution, or maybe he thinks he can find meaning in his life, given enough time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFnZsvh6pw posits that it's because he was raised believing in eternal life through the church, and lost his faith but still wants eternal life.

Props for linking to that video; it's so good.

I saw that video on Nebula and it was the first I'd heard of this dude, but I still found the video fascinating.
