If we could prevent the diseases of aging, we could prevent aging itself. We could empower “older” people to work like younger people for as long as they want to–if they want to. In this Seeking Delphi™ special edition mini-cast, Life Extension Advocacy Foundation (LEAF) presidnet Keith Comito joins host Mark Sackler to discuss the upcoming Ending-Age Releated Diseases conference, to be held July 11 and 12 at Cooper Union, New York, NY, USA. The biggest names in ending research will be there to present, including Aubrey de Grey of SENS Foundation and George Church of Rejuvenate Bio and Harvard University.

“The challenge is that the day before something is truly a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea. And crazy ideas are very risky to attempt”–Peter Diamandis
Peter Diamandis addresses the Future of Longevity Impact Roadmap workshop at the X Prize Foundation, April 29, 2019.
If you want to know the raison d’etre of the X Prize, you need go no further than the Peter Diamandis quote above. It’s all about pushing the boundaries of science and technology. It’s about achieving the heretofore unachievable.
The Future of Longevity X Prize Impact Roadmap workshop was held at the X Prize Foundation headquarters in Culver City, CA, April 29-30. 2019. It brought together dozens of diverse thought leaders across science, industry and longvity advocacy. Sponsored by X Prize board member, and Longevity Vision Fund founder, Sergey Young, its aim was to brainstorm ideas for a longevity X Prize. This Seeking Delphi™ special edition podcast features interviews and commentary from the workshop.

“A gracefull and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.”–Pindar
The returns are in. The 2019 Undoing Aging conference, held in Berlin, March 28-30, was a smash hit. 500 attendees (a sellout) heard the latest on dozens of lines of research to slow, stop, or reverse the ravages of aging. At 68, I can only hope that the progress accelerates. In this podcast special edition, we;ll hear, once again, from Aubrey de Grey, as well as Nir Barzilai (Albert Einstein College of Medicine), Vadim Gladyshev (Harvard University) and José Cordeiro (author of La Muerte de la Muerte, and candidate for the European parliament).
But as science progresses, we need to be looking ahead to the societal implications of radically extended life span. To that end, I’ll be attending The Future of Longevity Impact Roadmap workshop at the headquarters of the XPrize in Culver City, CA later this month

In January of 2017 the first two episodes of Seeking Delphi™ featured David Wood, chair of the London Futurists, on his book The Abolition of Aging. Wood’s newest effort, Sustainable Superabundance: A Universal Transhumanist Invitation, is an apt follow-up. It deals with the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead; it maps out his preferred scenarios for a better world, while warning about the dangers of making a worse one. David joins me in this episode for a discussion of some the key ideas in his new book.
And…exactly what happens if you build better mice? Genetic editing seems to be making many strides in that direction. The only question left is, will it ultimately make better people?
