Summary

“Maybe if we are able to upload ourselves somehow or rebuild ourselves from scratch, that’s immortality.” Dr. David Sinclair, a Harvard geneticist and author of the book "Lifespan," has been researching some of life's biggest questions. He joins Lewis to discuss whether science will eventually enable humans to live forever, how we might be able to bring people back from the dead, and why it's a "certainty" that aliens exist. If you liked David's first interview on the School of Greatness, then you'll love this deeper conversation. For more: lewishowes.com/1004 David's first interview: lewishowes.com/904

0:38.1

We grow old because we stop playing. My guest today actually believes that we don't necessarily

need to grow old. At least not like we do now. Harvard, geneticist, David Sinclair is one of the

0:55.8

worlds leading anti-aging researchers in the author of the book Lifespan. Why we age and why we

1:02.0

don't have to. He studies the biology of aging, what we can do to slow down or even reverse that

1:08.5

process and how we can get the most out of the years that we have right now. I've interviewed David

1:13.9

about nine months ago and it was such a fascinating conversation but there was so much more ground to

1:18.5

cover so I just had to have him come back on this podcast. And in this episode we discuss whether

extend our lifespan. What to eat to maximize your body's potential if artificial intelligence will

ever approach human thought. Why aliens must exist in his opinion and so much more. Share this with
