Longevity Philosophy
5 Big Ideas That Will Deliver More Years NOW
The longevity space is filled with empty claims! For example:
- This supplement will extend your life (C15, spermidine, D3, fish oil, etc.)
Truth:
No supplement has ever been shown to extend human life in all comers (outside of a nutrient deficiency). If your Longevity provider has you on a supplement subscription for life extension…..you are being played.
- This drug, peptide, hormone will extend life
Truth:
No drug, peptide, or hormone has ever been shown to extend lifespan in all comers in a human clinical research trial (outside of a specific clinical indication. E.g. hypertension [referred to as a mortality benefit]). Some commonly used “longevity treatments” like growth hormone, may even shorten life.
- AI will revolutionize longevity and we are close to longevity escape velocity.
Truth:
AI is revolutionizing data accumulation, handling, and analysis. However AI is yet to extend lifespan in humans at all. Until AI leads to any measurable life extension, this claim remains unproven. Until we can measurably slow aging (beyond proven lifestyle interventions), longevity escape velocity will remain in the realm of science fiction.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
