#73: José Luis Cordeiro - Scientific Secrets to a Life of Eternal Youth

Growth Island

Immortality is not just for Draculas and Vampires anymore. You can be young forever too (without any bloodsucking being involved!) What if we told you that death could be ‘optional’ soon? That technology of the near future will let you reverse your age, and people can become eternally young again! Sounds ridiculous? Well, this podcast will prove you wrong. Over the last few years, Scientists have been able to double the life span of mice, 5x the life span of mosquitoes (stock up on mosquito repellents NOW), and 10x the life span of worms. Such groundbreaking studies are finally showing up to the party that is our human world, and we’re already talking about the dawn of a post-human age! For this very special podcast (we’re very excited, and you’ll soon see why), we bring to you the infamous José Luis Cordeiro himself. Amongst a thousand other things, José is an Engineer, Futurist, and Transhumanist. He believes that Perpetual Life is a science-based church that is open to everyone. In this podcast he’ll explain to us what Transhumanism means in the world of science, and how you can already start preparing for an immortal life, that could be a real possibility within just a couple of decades!
