In the past five years , longevity has undoubtedly become one of the most important fields in science.

People are fascinated with the idea of turning back the arrow of time and are pouring billions into it.

Jeff Bezos , Sam Altman and Mohammed Bin Salman are all in on rejuvenation.

But many people still cling to the irrational notion that ageing is some sort of blessing in disguise.

We stratify and typecast our modes of interaction (Facebook is for Gen Xers , Instagram is for millennials) But we're not yet at a stage where you could plausibly ask your grandparents if they know what Brat summer is and expect them to know what the hell you’re talking about.

I imagine, in a post-ageing world, your grandparents will have no trouble knowing all about Charli XCX and dancing to her songs with you.
