What happens when science starts reversing aging?
Harvard geneticist David Sinclair says human cells can be de-aged. AI and robotics are accelerating medical breakthroughs. And suddenly, living to 120… or far beyond doesn’t sound like science fiction anymore.
In this episode, Phil and Tomas dive into the shocking reality of longevity science — and the wildly unpredictable future it creates for society, money, careers, relationships, and even boredom itself.
Along the way, they also discuss IKEA bed assembly trauma, wine-cork dad jokes, robot surgeons, self-driving planes, and whether eternal friendship is a blessing… or a curse.
Because if life is no longer short — what’s the point of anything?
Let us know what you think.
