David Wood: Abolition of Aging

#16: David Wood: Abolition of Aging David spent 25 years as a trailblazing pioneer of the mobile computing and smartphone industries. He envisioned what the future might look like, and then worked with many colleagues as part of a large ecosystem to bring that vision into reality. He sits on a number of boards, including the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, and the Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation. He chairs the world's largest meetup organisation with a focus on future foresight, called London Futurists. David regularly gives keynotes or leads workshops on aspects of envisioning and shaping the future. David has written many books including Smartphones and Beyond, Transcending Politics, Vital Foresight, Sustainable Superabundance, The Singularity Principles and the Abolition of Aging. In this episode, David explains transhumanism, humanity+, futurists, and the singularity. How can we abolish aging? He discusses regenerative therapies including techniques that are being developed to extend the telomeres of our chromosomes. But there are changes we can make now to fight off aging, such as changing our lifestyle. Are there any supplements we can take? And hear what David thinks of Black Mirror and Chat GPT. For more information and to access the transcript: https://joyceharper.com/podcasts/
