Today, I want to discuss life-extending technologies. We've been using life-extending technologies for a few hundred years now, with hygiene and diet being the most successful methods. These improvements have significantly increased our lifespan, but it seems they have reached their maximum effect. If we want to live much longer, we need to make fundamental improvements.
It's curious that we accept living up to 80 years as normal, especially when many animals, like elephants, dolphins, whales, and turtles, live much longer. Aging is essentially part of our "software," our DNA, which dictates that each new cell is slightly worse than the one it replaces, leading to gradual deterioration.
Consider the lizard, which can regrow its tail. Its DNA instructs that each new cell should be as good as the one it replaces. If we could modify our DNA, we might maintain cell function and significantly extend our lifespan. Some scientists even argue that we should view death as a disease. This idea sounds shocking, but consider that our current healthcare system is more about disease care than actual health care. We often wait until something goes wrong to address it, unlike with our cars, where we perform preventive maintenance.
I invite you to listen to my podcast regularly. We will discuss fascinating technologies and inventions. We will talk about the problems and opportunities. We will ponder what the world could look like. I promise you it will be an exciting, fun, and optimistic journey. A journey full of robots, artificial intelligence, self-driving cars, and sustainable energy. A journey full of questions and answers. A journey full of wonder and astonishment. But also, a journey with a lot of recognition. I am going to create these episodes with great pleasure and I look forward to hearing your reactions.
