Progress Dilemma -- Ep. 09

  • Summary

  • In this episode we discuss recent anti-aging advancements and the potential impact that means for society. There was a groundbreaking video where a scientist claims to have reversed aging in mice by up to 80%, including restoring vision and curing blindness. Essentially a cellular reset button. With experiments progressing on mice and primates, the possibility of applying these rejuvenation techniques to humans get us excited. However, concerns arise regarding accessibility and distribution of this technology, as well as the influence of wealthy stakeholders and profit-driven industries since it's profits over everything. There should be an emphasis on the need for equitable access to these advancements and evaluate long-term implications. We cannot stress enough the importance of addressing inequality and minimizing the negative consequences of this technology. Exploring the concept of progress, we believe the responsibilities of communities and individuals in supporting societal development should be at the forefront. Finally, we touch on trade-offs, income inequality, ownership, and the active engagement required to shape a future that benefits all.
