⸻ Aging kills roughly 110,000 people every day.
In this conversation, I sit down with Aubrey de Grey, one of the most influential and controversial figures in longevity science, to discuss the war on aging — and whether meaningful rejuvenation is likely to arrive in time to matter for people alive today.
00:00 – Why aging is the world’s biggest killer 03:05 – What the “war on aging” actually means 07:10 – Why most people misunderstand aging 14:35 – Why timelines for longevity differ so much 20:15 – What longevity escape velocity really requires 22:35 – Repair vs slowing aging: the core idea 32:00 – What animal experiments tell us (and don’t) 34:45 – “110,000 deaths a day” explained 41:20 – What could accelerate or delay progress 52:10 – Who might realistically benefit
We explore: • Why aging is the leading cause of death worldwide • The idea of Longevity Escape Velocity and what it actually means • Repair-based approaches to aging, rather than slowing decline • Why timelines differ so dramatically between experts • The role of AI, biotechnology, and translational bottlenecks • Why biological age, not chronological age, will determine who benefits
This is not a conversation about immortality. It is a conversation about damage, repair, timelines, and uncertainty.

About the PDF (reinforces click without hype)
The linked briefing expands on one central question raised in this discussion:
If effective rejuvenation therapies arrive in the coming decades, who is most likely to benefit — and why?
The report: • Compares major expert timelines (including Aubrey de Grey, Ray Kurzweil, and others) • Explains why biological age matters more than birth year • Uses probability ranges, not promises • Is intended as a thinking tool, not a forecast
