Chiara Marletto is a physicist at Oxford University, and the author of the book “The Science of Can and Can’t”, where she writes about the concept of counterfactuals and constructor theory.This is a new and different approach to physics where the idea is that the physics most of us are familiar with is mirrored in a way that is very limited. There is a large class of things that science has neglected, and according to this theory, there are questions of what is and isn’t possible, which could provide scientific explanations to many questions in the long run. Full transcript, list of resources, and art piece: Chiara Marletto | The Science of Can & Can’t (existentialhope.com)Existential Hope was created to collect positive and possible scenarios for the future, so that we can have more people commit to the creation of a brighter future, and to start mapping out the main developments and challenges that need to be navigated to reach it.

How can we better invest in Biotech?Christian is an entrepreneur and investor and the founder of Apeiron Investment Group. He is Cofounder and Chairman of the board at Rejuveron.   Angermeyer believes that over the next 10-20 years longevity will be the centerpoint of health research.  The longevity market is 100% of the population, and many of his rich friends would spend all of their money for extra years of quality life.  Rejuveron, Angermeyer’s company, will only be one of a whole sector of companies focused on aging.  Having a diverse portfolio of companies allows for cross pollination of ideas.   Aging should be considered a disease.  In the meantime, targeting standard diseases alongside aging is a good strategy.  Having reliable biomarkers continues to be one of the top priorities in the near-term for moving aging into the clinical space.  Rejuveron currently operates in clinical and preclinical areas.  Translating aging research is difficult because amazing scientists are often not amazing drug development people.Angermeyer also spoke on neurotech, climate change, and cryptocurrency.  Session Summary: Christian Angermayer, Rejuveron | Longevity & Deep Tech Investor Q&A - Foresight Institute The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies.
