About this episode
Quote: “Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it”
- Ray Kurzweil
Too much time…..
Why this person is important:
Computer scientist, inventor, and futurist (one of the greatest of the modern era)
What is Longevity
- Dictionary – long existence or service
- Medicine and Science – long duration of individual life
What is Geroscience:
- Gero (Greek - old)
- A field of biomedical research that focusses on understanding the biology of aging and how aging contributes to disease
- Geroscience, geroscientist, geroprotective, gerontocracy, gerontophobia
Why Longevity
- Longer Life? People want to live longer and better? More time young. Not more time old.
- live forever? Scares many. Plasticity of youth would be so important in this case
- look good and do the things we love for longer? Yes!
I believe: Longevity and understanding/controlling aging are key to human advancement and long-term success.
