Longevity is near - and what you can do with it | Tobias Reichmuth | TEDxBielBienne

In this TEDxBielBienne talk, Tobias Reichmuth explores the concept of longevity, discussing how our increasing lifespan presents both challenges and opportunities for society. He offers insights into the latest scientific and technological advancements in anti-aging research and how they could transform the way we live our lives. Overall, his talk encourages us to embrace the potential of a longer lifespan and consider the implications it has for our personal and societal well-being. Tobias Reichmuth is a Swiss entrepreneur and investor. He founded his first company while still a student.

Amazing to think this is what we can expect with our current understanding, the way things can change in another decade or 2 may actually lead to a near or total reversal in aging. While he speaks of more conservative estimates of health span it seems very likely we may have full age reversal in under 50 years with Longevity Escape velocity.

[@Live-Forever-Club]

Managed to cover longevity escape velocity, hallmarks of ageing, technology, changes to work cycle, and ethics - all crammed in to 15 minutes! A particularly interesting slide showed that well-off people are willing to commit a third to a half of their wealth to live an extra 10 years. Hopefully that will fund enough companies to drive the price down for everyone else.

We need to vote for politicans that will fund this research.

[@noahlovotti7722]

Yes please help any way you can

[@alexc2265]

I’m glad people are talking about this. The implications will be MASSIVE. From what he said, I suppose “Sardinien” is Sardinia? Looks like a missed translation.

[@500Dalton]

Means Sardinia in german.

[@attila7092]

So great things coming in the next few decades huh? Seems I heard that said in the 90s too

[@SilverFan21k]

Awesome talk! Deserves more views

Prosím české titulky...

[@bernamdc]

For quite a visionary man he totally missed that most of us will likely be retired within a few decades or less while AI does the job. Otherwise great speech!

[@marcoborghi9327]

You can retire whenever you want but the point is who is paying you to stay home

The dream of any dictator

Ha Ha

I'll believe it when we can reverse aging in complex mammals like dogs or primates. So far we've been stuck on mice for 20 years.

[@joebidenw4385]

Really why don't they try on humans

[@squamish4244]

@@joebidenw4385 They are now, in a few companies, with blood factors. There are so many companies now. Now that AI is being implemented at all levels of the drug pipeline, it's only a matter of 5 - 10 years before a proliferation of new drugs. We need them. Outside of SubSaharan Africa, the world is facing an aging crisis.

He's a salesman. The key is far simpler. It is an simple micro-nutrient deficiency. The item is understood but ignored. Think, if we were designed to fail at every regeneration, we would be dead already. Our systems actually are designed to repair and replace which should be common sense. So, the simple question is why does the repair system fail or become overwhelmed.

[@magicalfrijoles6766]

Did he mention he's an entrepreneur? Regurgitating other's ideas to get his name out.

[@elizabethk3238]

Still unable to think outside the box.

[@danibitt59]

Weak presentation - I'd rather having a scientist or doctor on the subject.

[@frankducett9]

You identify your ideas as being crazy. Hmmmm.

[@Wolfmanlj]

He is the problem because hes only looking to put you in the poor house
