Aubrey de Grey, the gerontologist behind the LEV Foundation and the idea of longevity escape velocity, gives us roughly a 50-50 chance of reaching it within 12 to 15 years. He doesn't call himself a longevity researcher at all: he works on health, and longer life is the side effect. At 71, I asked him what arrives first, who gets it, and what someone my age should start doing now.

In this conversation we cover:

Why aging is accumulated damage, and why the body can be maintained like a machine Longevity escape velocity, explained, and why 60-year-olds will get the first treatments What the LEV Foundation is building, and how he got there from AI research What comes first: Parkinson's, stem cells and senolytic drugs that clear zombie cells Whether only the rich will get rejuvenation, and why governments will end up paying for it Retirement, inheritance and the expectation shock nobody is ready for The most overhyped thing in longevity If you're 70, where to start: bloodwork, your genome and knowing your body Learn more about the LEV Foundation: levf.org
