Breakthrough Science Primer: Senescence and Longevity
Throughout history, humans have desired to be more than they are: to live longer, live healthier, overcome disease and disability, and enhance our natural capabilities. In the coming decades, the average age of the global population will grow, and the demand for increased health, better medicines, new capabilities, and solutions to the fundamental problems of aging itself will take new precedence. New technological and scientific advances will give us the tools to better understand and intervene in the aging process. Perhaps even more remarkably, scientific advances will give us better insights into the functioning of the human mind and brain, and tools, both electronic and psychedelic, to bolster human mental health, cognition, and connection, addressing some of the most intimate sources of human suffering while offering us the tantalizing possibility of becoming healthier, smarter, more connected, and more capable than we are today.
To get caught up on the latest advances, here is a quick primer with links to our most recent thinking, predictions, and investments in human longevity technology:
