Overcoming Death II

Promising Technologies and Their Backers

Published :August 22, 2024

In our last post, we introduced methods to overcome death and highlighted the technologies Venki Ramakrishnan is skeptical about in his book "Why We Die" (2024).

Here are some promising approaches that might solve the “problem of death,” along with their prominent backers:

  1. Regenerative Medicine: Using stem cells, tissue engineering, and molecular biology to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. Backers: Jeff Bezos, Peter Diamandis, Larry Ellison.
  2. Genetic and Epigenetic Reprogramming: Modifying genes and epigenetic markers to reset the biological clock and reverse aging processes. Backers: George Church, David Sinclair, Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte.
  3. Senolytics: Developing drugs that selectively eliminate senescent cells, which contribute to aging and age-related diseases. Backers: Jeff Bezos, Jim Mellon.
  4. Artificial Intelligence and Digital Immortality: Using AI to emulate human consciousness and potentially achieve digital immortality by uploading minds to computers. Backers: Dmitry Itskov, Ray Kurzweil.
  5. Caloric Restriction and Nutraceuticals: Reducing calorie intake and using dietary supplements to slow down the aging process and extend lifespan. Backers: David Sinclair, Mark Zuckerberg.


The good news is that the anti-aging industry and research thoroughly validate the age-old advice for living a long and healthy life: exercise, diet, and sleep. These remedies currently work better than any anti-aging medicine on the market, cost nothing, and have no side effects.
