In this episode, I sit down with Adam Gries to discuss the founding of Vitalism, a community dedicated to tackling aging through groundbreaking and innovative approaches. Together, we delve into the concept of network states and pop-up cities as revolutionary frameworks for collaboration and experimentation in the longevity space.
Adam shares insights on how traditional approaches to aging are falling short, and why a shift in resource allocation and societal mindset is crucial for progress. We explore the role of supportive environments, like pop-up cities, in fostering innovation and accelerating breakthroughs in longevity research.
