I am a person whose story will largely be forgotten despite my best efforts.
I work at a medical AI company focused on fighting cancer, but I want to conquer aging to ensure my story lasts at least a little longer…
But then at what cost? If people stop dying, maybe reproduction will fall even faster, leading to an end of genetic evolution of humans. But that’s the lesser evil. If people stopped dying, what would happen to memetic evolution? Would we get stuck in whatever culture there was at the time we killed death? Would being young for centuries encourage us to continue allowing our thinking to evolve?
Have you heard of Robert Antecki? He founded a company to fight aging and on the eve of the investor meeting he died in a car crash on his way home. He was one of the most sober individuals I have ever had the pleasure to know so I find the circumstances very troubling.
Oooooof, that super sucks. It’s crazy how many important things in history are just dumb luck. Maybe he could have done amazing things :( But in any case, I’ll read up on him. Thanks for sharing!
He sometimes went by Peter Anthony or Robert Anthony. He was also a musician in addition to a scientist. For a while he was in a band called SilverSmith and he is the cofounder of an App called Radi8er. I think his company name was Fountainhead Genomics. It was a while ago.

This is his LinkdIn. He might have been using an alias because his family escaped Communist rule in Cuba.
