Transhumanism, Immortality, and Longevity Escape Velocity | FEAT. Dave Porter & Ed Klobucher
Humanity tends to forecast what the future will be, sometimes, with striking accuracy. Pop culture predictions from the Simpsons and Back To The Future have eerily striking accuracy. On the contrary, the speculative, and mostly hyperbolic, Nostradamus-like predictions are a dime a dozen, popularized for the sake of your dollar or voting preference.
What if some of the predictions of the future turn out to be true? What happens, when our bodies escape the natural barriers imposed by them at birth? Will we achieve immortality? With the interest in transhumanism at an all-time high, humanity has already eclipsed many mortal barriers once thought to be impossible, and it's likely we'll continue to do so in the name of science. Will the idea of Longevity Escape Velocity become a reality?
Originally coined by biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey in a 2004 paper, the concept of Longevity Escape Velocity has been around since 1970, with Robert Anton Wilson's essay "Next Stop, Immortality". Also known as Actuarial Escape Velocity, L.E.V. is a hypothetical situation in which one's remaining life expectancy (not life expectancy at birth) is extended longer than the time that's passing. It's quite a fascinating subject!
Join the Wolf and Bull in episode 74, as they discuss the ideas of Transhumanism, Immortality, and Longevity Escape Velocity with their special guests Dave Porter, and Ed Klobucher. Dave Porter is a partner and executive recruiter for Orion Solutions. Ed Klobuchar is the current city manager of Hazel Park, Michigan. They both provide extensive thoughts and opinions on these topics and it was wonderful to have them on the show with us!
Please be advised, this discussion is comprised entirely of opinions. Nothing said in this episode is directly reflective or indicative of the aforementioned entities of Orion Solutions or the city of Hazel Park, Michigan.
