Accelerate Bio Podcast

Aging is fully reversible. But neither billionaires nor AI will get us there.Dr Aubrey de Grey, founder of modern longevity, explains why aging must be treated as a solvable damage problem, why modern longevity efforts are structurally misallocated, why a single breakthrough in mice could trigger a global war on aging, and what happens to society once people expect to live indefinitely.Hosted by Mgoes → https://x.com/m_goes_distanceDonate to Aubrey's LEV Foundation → https://www.levf.org/---0:00 - Longevity Field 20 Years On08:58 - Are Billionaires Getting It Wrong?17:13 - Bryan Johnson vs Peter Thiel23:42 - ChatGPT Moment for Longevity28:52 - Biological Age vs Lifespan34:44 - Influencers Will Save Us39:36 - AI x Science Breakthroughs48:14 - Sam Altman on Aging53:39 - Genesis Mission56:45 - Systems Will Collapse1:08:55 - GLP-1s & Human Enhancement---The Accelerate Bio Podcast explores the future of human potential in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
