I was going to post an issue I had with this article, personally.

What is most important to me is my intent to live for a very, very long time. Assuming I do better on average, I will end at a very high place! But how can living forever be more important to me than my own life? It obviously can't. But I think I see it now; it's more important to me than anything else.

Who cares what anyone thinks of my desire? I'll do whatever it takes, and I don't mean I'll give it a shot!

Second in importance to me is giving everyone else a chance to live a long time as well. I can't say that this is more important to me than my own life, but it coincides with the first one anyway.
