Imagine you're the leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world. You have everything you could want at your disposal: power, influence, money. But, the problem is, your time at the top is fleeting. I'm not talking about the prospect of a coup or a revolution, or even a democratic election: I'm talking about the thing even more certain in life than taxes. I'm talking about death.
Peter Diamandis envisions a future where death may become optional, arguing that advancements in technology and understanding of biological systems could allow for extended life. He noted that it's a challenge, likening the human body to a complex machine with forty trillion cells, each executing billions of reactions. He expressed optimism about the role of AI and robotics in unraveling these mysteries, stating, 'We are linear thinkers in an exponential world,' emphasizing the potential acceleration of research through technological innovations.
