Below the Head, Above the Noise

Episode 8. Does the pursuit of longevity promote ageism?


Listen Later

Longevity vs ageism—are the two at war with each other? Or is there room for happy co-existence where we can live long with health and meaning?

In this episode, I reflect on what the focus on longevity may be doing to our collective psyche and beliefs, and why it is important to be mindful in our pursuit for a longer life.

Specific things I talk about:

  • Longevity—a means or an end?
  • Ageism, and its effects on healthy adult development
  • Elderhood, and its role in society
  • How do we pursue longevity while embracing age?
