2019 & the KRUSE LONGEVITY CENTER

I am challenging the future of learning @ Kruse Longevity Center.

I've begun to set my own course in what I think learning should be in January 2019.

We opened 2 weeks ago and now we are set to begin.


We learn throughout our lives. We learn to adapt to change. We learn to learn. Can we be inspired to learn and find pleasure in it? Can teachers nudge us to find that thrill? Who has nudged you to become better than you were yesterday?

And can technology help us in our endeavor, or does it limit our attention?

How much are we and our societies willing to invest in learning?

It is worth the time and money and who is paying?

By studying how our brains think, we try to understand how we learn today.

How will we learn in the future?

My center will be something that delves deeply into this aspect of healthcare. It is an untapped area of medicine in my opinion.


We train thinkers one on one in the flesh. Real thinkers are rare. We call them Black Swans. Why do we do this?

Black Swan's question everything. Have you ever asked yourself why this is true? It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most about life. They teach us how to think. Think well is the main credo of the Black Swan. If you give folks a rapid answer, all they gain is a little fact. Will they ever invest in thinking to come to understand how the answer was obtained? No, they will not. Never reinforce poor thinking in a student. Instead, challenge them with a phenomenal question and they'll look for his own answers if they are Black Swan material.


Many Nobel Laureates have emphasized in their writings how important their teachers have been to their success.  Have you ever done this?  

How has a teacher inspired you to reach extraordinary amidst the ordinary you've settled for previously?  Leave me some comments below about who inspired you.

Here is a picture of our Open house at the end of December 2018.


The teachers who walked me through museums and taught me how to question things, and how to question things I was taught to believe were true but were not. How we think about our beliefs/truths & biases are what really sculpt the perspective of how we see the world. 

The people who taught me to question it all, is who inspired me never to settle for less in anything I do.

so would I ;-)

Good question. I’d like to know too

Dan Ordoins

Congratulations! Key moment for me was my first day at Yale law school where the then Dean, Guido Calabresi, gave his infamous "off the treadmill" speech. He basically said--you've jump through all the hoops you needed to get here, not an easy task. But now you get off the treadmill, follow your passion, question everything, and think differently! Not dissimilar to being a black swan...

Amy

You already know the answer to that! ;) A - both semesters!

Elizabeth Gory

Thanks for sharing. Did you do well in the class because he was a hard ass?

Dr. Jack Kruse

Will the Farm have any sort of athletic/performance focus... or just more for treating disease and illness ?

Barry Murray

One of my favorites in college was my DifEq professor. We started with about 30 people. He was a bear through drop/add and by the time the period was over, we had 8 in the class. Once he sorted out the chaff, he turned on the teaching skills and we had a great semester!

Elizabeth Gory

I had a push from my friends.........;)

Dr. Jack Kruse

Thanks Barry

"How has a teacher inspired you to reach extraordinary amidst the ordinary you've settled for previously?" You've heard the saying - surround yourself with masters - I took this to heart when I was so poor the library was the only place I could take my kids (before the internet) but I discovered those masters in the books on the shelves. Every question was a new adventure and every master was a new challenge. I am grateful for it all and I would say nature herself has been my greatest inspirational teacher. She never disappoints and has a remedy for it all. Not sure how she'll take care of the 5G but following your lead, I still have faith she will.

Carol Schwarzkopf

What an accomplishment! Congratulations Jack! I feel blessed to have found you!

Lindsay Conrad-Alfieri

Great stuff Jack. Please keep doing what you are doing. I would love to be there one day or at least get an online tour/ guide. Maybe you will do that on a future patreon video that those of us who could not be there could purchase to get some info? God bless.

Michael Cullen

Thanks Jack for doing what you do! LOVE it and so glad you bought the farm!

Rob Hamilton

Congrats, well done. Best of luck with it.
