You’d be surprised to learn just how paradoxical and contentious the topic of human longevity is. On the one hand, almost every single person in this world wants to live longer. On the other hand, mainstream opinion generally holds nihilistic and dystopian views of a future where everyone lives longer. But the balance is gradually tilting as more and more people in different fields are seriously pondering the question of what society would look like if we had a longer lifespan and healthspan. In this episode of The Futurist Society Podcast, we are joined by one of the pioneers in the longevity space, Aubrey De Grey. One by one, Aubrey dispels the most common myths around longevity and the arguments often presented by naysayers to dispute the wisdom of extending the human lifespan. He also talks about the amazing developments in the field that show us that a post-aging society is indeed just out in the corner. Tune in for more!
