“The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed.”― William Gibson, 2003. For the right price, you can live forever…well, soon enough. Matt is excited, and Tom goes Tankie about this.
Summary
The conversation covers various health-related topics, including salt inhalers, halotherapy, integrating salt inhalers with infrared saunas, cold thermogenesis, and emerging technologies in health. The hosts discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of these methods. They also explore the concept of printing human hearts and the implications it may have for medical advancements. The conversation explores the cost and ethics of body replacement technologies, such as stem cell differentiation and organ transplants. The high price of these procedures raises questions about wealth disparity and access to life-saving treatments. The potential for extending life expectancy and improving health through genetic editing and supplementation is also discussed. The conversation concludes with a call for wide thinking and research to navigate the possibilities and challenges of advancing technologies.
