> going to a first-class brain surgeon is no less a moonshot than any other bio hacks I can find online

American "physicians received significantly less intensive care than the general population" at the end of their lives [1]. (Canadian physicians "used both intensive and palliative care more than nonphysicians" [2].)

The lesson seems to be yes, go ahead and pursue your moonshots, but don't let that cloud the reality of the situation and don't let the moonshots debilitate what little time you have left.
