Distorting Time To Live Longer | Unexpected Surprises From Stereotypical People
About this episode
Will any of us live to 150, and if so, are we essentially immortal?
In Episode #343 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: the annoying fact that time goes fast when you're having fun, ways to slow time without it being unpleasant, the hubris of life extension scientists, people whose actions are markedly different from their external appearance and why supporting early supporters can break the v4v model.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
