A wise teenage girl in the Pacific Northwest who made the world fall in love with a family of vampires once said, “I’ve never given much thought to how I would die.”
She’s the only one. In truth, we humans are deeply preoccupied with how we might die...and even more, preoccupied with the efforts we can take to put it off. Sanitation protocols, germ theory, vaccines, exercise—for centuries, we’ve taken small steps each day to prolong our healthy, functional lives.
But what if we stopped taking small steps and started taking giant ones? What if we could solve ourselves out of aging? What might the world look like if we lived to 100 years, 200 years, or forever?
Today on Thinking Is Cool, we’re exploring just that—how (and more importantly, why) we’re doing our darndest to cheat death...forever.
Thanks as always to Fundrise, Thinking Is Cool’s Season 2 presenting sponsor. And to you! For listening! And hopefully for sharing! You’re the best.
