In this interview excerpt, the speaker proposes that aging could eventually be cured, arguing that if biological processes can drive aging forward, they could potentially be reversed—summarized by the tagline “whatever can go forward can go backward.” The speaker expresses confidence that a mechanism to turn back the aging clock will be discovered. They also acknowledge that many deaths are unrelated to aging, citing trauma, infectious diseases, and HIV as examples of mortality causes that would persist even if aging were halted.

Chapters

I came up with the idea that there could be a cure for aging. And I looked into it and I did a lot of research on it. And I honestly believe that we eventually will be able to, quote unquote, cure aging. Sure. I think that, you know, my tagline in my book is whatever can go forward can go backward. Yeah. So if there's some reason that the clock turns on and makes us all grow older, there's something can turn back the clock so we won't all grow older. And a certain amount of people die of trauma, infectious diseases, uh, you know, HIV, things like that.
