I’m only slightly older than you. Although I have had some health problems—genetic defect that led to open heart surgery—I feel healthy and sharp and possibly the best I’ve ever felt.

I have always had many interests which, due to my personality, often become obsessions. I get immersed in things…and they are meaningful to me…not just “hobbies” though anything that doesn’t generate income is treated as insignificant in our weird and warped world.

My current obsession is saving the world from climate collapse. Yeah, I’m dead serious.

Hey, in 1980, as a student journalist, I called the American Embassy in Tehran to speak with the hostages. (I only succeeded in talking with the hostage holders…)

I’d have to say, as long as you do thinks that are important to you, then you are really living at any age.

My current project, about the climate, if focused on using Gandhian tactics to end the use of fossil fuels and put climate scientists in charge of a worldwide emergency program.

It’s literally insane to destroy the planet you are living on. So, we are Saners.
