Coping With Longevity

Описание

What does it actually mean to “live longer” in a culture that can’t tolerate aging?This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dive into the strange n seductive world of longevity culture, breaking down how a once‑niche scientific field has transformed into a billion‑dollar industry. We’re chatting about it all, from pilgrimages to Blue Zones, biological age testing, and cryonic chambers, and the $65 USD olive oils promising to rewind the effects of aging at a cellular level. The industry promises more years, but often at the cost of the humanity it claims to preserve.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: pimple patches (where have they been all my life etc.) and wearable tracking devices (stay tuned for a future debate on this).Shout out to Laher for supporting this episode of Coping !
