🚀 We could be three years from a global war on aging. In this in-depth interview on the LEVITY podcast Aubrey de Grey explains how the experiments his LEV Foundation is conducting now could trigger a revolution in longevity research. 🙏 LEVITY is available on Youtube or where you listen to podcasts.

Tuesday January 14, 6 pm CET: Premiere of our LEVITY episode James Strole, co-founder of RAADfest and a true pioneer in longevity activism. Since 1968(!), he's been spreading the message of unlimited lifespans - way before it was cool.

”In the next few years, everyone will see what we see”.

”For now, however, it is less attractive as an investment proposition.” Yes, if you want more money. But how about we invest in getting more life, health and time instead?

If your crystal ball tells you that something is impossible, or that it will never happen in a million years, or that it’s wise to be a skeptic? Then you should return it and ask for your money back.

Two years ago, when my longevity book came out, Sweden’s biggest newspapers (and several other outlets) all wanted to write about this dude saying he wants to celebrate his 123rd birthday (in the year 2100). They thought it was such a headliney thing to say. This view will soon be completely normal.

🚀 New episode of the LEVITY podcast just dropped! 🚨As many as 90% of US babies lack essential gut bacteria. Alba Health CEO Nora Cavani explains how the first 1000 days shape your child's lifelong health. Alba Health analyzes children's gut microbiomes to help parents.

The immortal dictator is a persistent longevity myth. Thing is that it’s seldom aging that gets them in the end.

Had the pleasure to talk to Geoffrey Hinton today. Brilliant man.

Today I’m interviewing two Nobel laureates.

🥶 @cryodao.bsky.social aims to revive a cryopreserved mammal - a feat not achieved since the 1960s. In this week's LEVITY newsletter I explore how decentralized science is redefining longevity research. The future is looking really cool! #DeSci #longevity #cryonics 🧪 Link ⬇️

The documentary film Longevity Hackers is out now on Apple TV. Featuring voices such as Aubrey de Grey, Liz Parrish, Morgan Levine and Bryan Johnson.

Let's do some reasoning.

I've been digging into Andrew Scott's paper and found an interesting table modeling a theoretical therapy applied once a year that regenerates either 1 year, 9 months, 6 months, or 3 months of aging at different ages (see table). 🧵

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

"When I started, people called it a snake oil and like there's no hope...and now everyone works on some form of intervention. So great success". But Alexandra Stolzing also notes several challenges remaining in aging biology. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd_L...

🚀 A stark debate in our latest LEVITY episode: LongeVC's Sergey Jakimov says focus on cancer patients, not aging. My counter: What about those dying in retirement homes? Watch our clash on pragmatism vs ambition in longevity investment, then read my full take in the newsletter. Links ⬇️

No matter your age, if you are in good health you most likely want to continue living. You have things to do. How many years that has passed since you were born is irrelevant.

”The problem is not that we have too many people, it will be that we have too few. And since [...] we have no policy that has been empirically shown to increase the total fertility rate [...] One solution to this problem is to just, have the current people staying alive longer.” - Linus Petersson

”The badness of death consists in all those things that death deprives you of... everything you value requires minimally that you exist.” - Patrick Linden, author of The Case Against Death and my co-host of the LEVITY podcast.
