Ray Kurzweil, the globally renowned scientist, and former Google engineer made many predictions in the 90’s, (the widespread use of laptops, wearable tech, digitized media, computer phones, facial recognition, remote learning and more…) so when he recently restated his prediction that humans will be able to achieve immortality by 2030… we of course responded with, “Really, no Really!”

Could immortality truly be achieved in 7 years? This being way above our paygrades, we turned to Richard Faragher, Professor of Biological Gerontology at the University of Brighton, the past Chair of the British Society for Research on Ageing, and the American Aging Association, who Aging Analytics named as one of the top 100 longevity leaders in the world.

We discuss:

• The clams in your chowder may be older than William Shakespeare.
• The actual biological mechanisms that cause us to age.
• At age 160, how will we get our 75-year-old kids out of our basements?
• How immortality will affect demand and pricing at Del Boca Vista and Florida.
• Jason & Peter create a brilliant end of life invention.
• The anti-aging market is WAY bigger than you think.
• The ethical questions surrounding aging manipulation.
• Living longer and its impact on overpopulation and resource consumption.
• The economic savings of improving the quality of later life.
• The revolution in age-related technology.
