Ivan's Unique Perspective on Life and Age

Ivan expresses a desire to only live until the age of 30, believing that life beyond that is illogical. This decision stems from a sense of wanting to enjoy life in its prime and avoid the complexities and compromises that come with getting older. He sees living past 30 as a moral compromise and prefers to maintain a sense of tastefulness in his approach to life.
