Peter Diamandis, a futurist with MIT and Harvard’s degree, has evangelized the vision of the “rich future”, which is led by the index technology that will extend our lives over the past 20 years. The organization’s series of entrepreneurs and founders, such as the XPRIZE FOUNDATION and Singularity University, have a close relationship with the world’s most influential business thinking, including Elon Musk.
Lovers subscribe to his optimistic predictions and data support claims that technology has already hurt billions of dollars in poverty and improved the world’s living standards. They also buy his book. Critics argue that his techno Itopian vision is increasing inequality and systematic imbalances, including the United States, and the lowest 50% of the households have less than 4% of the country, while the top 10% command is ordered in two -thirds.
Regardless of their views on Diamandis, many people discovered an interesting modern person, and when we had a chance to talk with him in recent years -we have captured it, including the idea of Byran Johnson, a former acquaintance who is trying to flip the aging process. (Currently, 63 -year -old Diamandis says he is “biologically 39 years old.”
You can tell the conversation here. On the other hand, you can find an excerpt edited by length below.
Recently, you urge you to remember that your only responsibility is not dying in something stupid because we are too close to longevity escape speed. What is the specific inspiration?
I think we are in the middle of the HealthSpan Revolution. And this is not a coincidence. It is mainly influenced by AI, calculations, sensors, single cell sequencing, cellular drugs. Many convergence techniques (he) helps us understand why we are older, stop and reverse. There is a concept called Longevity Escape Velocity, and every year you are alive, and the concept of science and medicine extends its life in a certain time between 1/4 and one -third of the year. But every year you will have a time to extend your life for more than a year. Aubrey de Grey and Ray Kurzweil have pioneered ideas, studied, and I have invested it. And the current thinking will someday we have a fast and healthy speed for the next 10 years. And if that’s true, you don’t want to miss it. As you know, you want to be good enough and want to be here.
What does “reasonable meaning” mean? Obviously, there is a lot of concern about the world’s work in our society (with regard to approach to health care). The number is moving in the wrong direction.
Longevity is only for rich people? Is that what you ask? First of all, what you can do right now is free. Best of all, it is your diet. What you eat is fundamentally important. Our bodies are not designed to eat as much sugar as we eat. Sugar is the amount of poison we eat. We consumed 2 pounds of sugar annually 200 years ago. Today, we eat 60 pounds a year of sugar. It is neuritis, heart inflammation… At the end of the day, diet is important. Sleep is basic. You need to take 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep. This means deep sleep and REM. The lack of neuromoduscular diseases and Alzheimer’s develops. The exercise is the best Supreme Court you can do. I lift my weight at the gym for 5 days of a week and keep my muscle mass. It is the core. Again, either of these things don’t cost me. The very cheapest is your way of thinking… Optimalists live 15% longer than pessimists… No, it’s for people who are interested in longevity and want to focus on this.
So it is the basic class…
The next step is to get the cost of accessing money, which includes drugs and supplements. I take a ridiculous number of drugs and supplements every day, but I have built it over time. And there is a high -end test to catch the disease early. The test is from $ 500 to $ 50,000, depending on how deep you want to go.
But finally, there is one important thing. One of the most popular areas of longevity studies is called epigenetic re -programming. So we all were born with 3.2 billion letters from mothers and 3.2 billion letters from dads. Our genome. It is our software… And when you are born, you have the same genome as when you are 20 years old, 50 years old, when you are 100 years old. So why do you look different? The genes are on and which genes are turned off. As we get older, it is a kind of control mechanism that turns and off the genes in other tissues in the body. Therefore, the most popular investment area (and I invest in some of these companies) is a epigenetic genetic re -programming. Can you reinforce the epi genome and return it to a younger state? At first, when it is dangerous and does not work well, the billionaire will take the risk. But once it starts to work well and we talk for a few years, most people can use them cheaper and use.
The company you invest in actually shows your approach to longevity.
Over the past 30 years (as the founder of the XPRIZE FOUNDATION) we have launched about $ 600 million in prizes and drove $ 10 billion in R & D. And a year and a half ago, I raised $ 150 million and started HealthSpan XPRIZE. Therefore, it is a $ 110 million prize. The rest is to compete and perform all tests. And in this XPRIZE, the team should show the ability to overturn functional aging in recognition, immunity and muscles between 60 and 80 years old. Your immune response is 20 years older. Do you have the ability to grow and maintain younger muscles 20 years older? And we like 620 teams entering the XPRIZE. It will be awarded by 2030. We want to give $ 10 million to the top 40 teams. They are receiving $ 100 million in May this year. So I’m very excited. There are all kinds of approaches that can be imagined in 620 teams in the competition.
How will Bryan Johnson distinguish between what they do in BluePrint and the thoughts of longevity?
I have known Brian for 10 years. When he sold Braintree, he took him to the longevity business, he moved to LA, and I became an investor of the company, a co -founder of a human longevity in San Diego and a member of the board of directors, and we changed the way. So how can I put this in? What Bryan is doing is N-One Experimation. I am very happy that he is doing. He is a kind of pioneer, and we will see what’s going on there. I don’t necessarily think I will talk about my erection as he does at night, but he seems to receive a lot of attention in the media. The approach taken here through the XPRIZE FOUNDATION is a large -scale global competition that attempts hundreds of different approaches. All are measured correctly. All competing teams must prove that they can say what they say by statistically treating enough individuals in the appropriate age. Therefore, it is a large -scale experimental competition that is scientifically supported.
You can do much more in Diamandis, including how you learned the Musk, why you started a health scan company with Tony Robbins, and how to explore how it looks to outsiders, such as conflicts of understanding.
