Can biohacking actually cheat death or just delay the inevitable?
In short: From strict dietary regimens to radical self-optimization, a global movement seeks to decelerate or even halt the aging process. This video examines whether these high-tech promises of immortality are scientifically viable or merely an expensive pursuit for the elite.
The longevity scene features figures like tech billionaire Bryan Johnson, who follows the 'Don’t Die' program. His approach involves a rigorous lifestyle in Los Angeles characterized by strict rules, a consistent daily diet, and the total avoidance of risk to overcome mortality.
While some researchers in the USA claim humans could potentially live up to 500 years, the movement raises significant questions regarding the realism of these claims and the socioeconomic divide of who can actually afford such self-optimization.
