Longevity Boom Meets AI Mania: School, Gene Therapy, and Chatbot Doctors

Two worlds collide: the slow, systemic influence of education on lifespan and the fast-moving frontiers of anti-aging science and AI. This episode explores a global study linking schooling to longer lives, a contentious gene-therapy “vaccine” trial in Russia, the launch of the world’s first PhD in longevity medicine, and the mainstreaming of longevity services. It also follows AI’s march from secretive London labs to warning-signed chatbots in healthcare, police bodycam translators, and investor fever over IPOs. The takeaway: balance the flashy breakthroughs with the boring, powerful basics—education and guardrails—to truly help people live longer and better.
