My long-time friend Chip Walter is an author, journalist, National Geographic Explorer, filmmaker, and was one of CNN’s first and youngest bureau chiefs whose travels have taken him to six continents. His books, including one co-written with the original Captain Kirk, William Shatner, all explore scientific topics at the intersection of human behavior and technology’s rapid advances. His latest book is Immortality, Inc.--Renegade Science, Silicon Valley Billions and the Quest to Live Forever, written for National Geographic Books.  It's a fascinating read chronicling a new, audacious group of scientists, doctors, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are attempting to even the score and discover how we can all live at least hundreds of more years longer than ever thought possible. It’s the story of big money, big ideas, and big egos who are either really on to something or will soon get relegated to the junk heap of dreamers who came before them. In this episode, we talk about why radical life extension might actually be possible this time, the great debates we should be having now if we really could live almost forever, whether madness and genius are inexorably linked, and what Chip has learned throughout his fascinating career. In addition, we talk about Chip and his wife’s audacious plan to embark on their own epic, once-in-a-lifetime, not-sure-ever-tried-before journey around the world. Please enjoy this mind-bending and inspiring episode of In Search of Lost Mojo with the perhaps "The Most Interesting Man in the World", Chip Walter!

Maybe we should be trying to solve our current coronavirus crises in Silicon Valley, and not at the National Institutes of Health? This week we talk with journalist Chip Walter, who takes us inside the work of a group of well-known tech boomer billionaires trying to find a way to achieve immortality by stopping the aging process.

Most people suffer from ailments later in life, but before age 50, people are affected at far lower rates. What if we could stop people from physically aging? How would that change things? Lance and Justin were joined by Chip Walter, a National Geographic explorer, journalist, and filmmaker, to talk about his new book Immortality Inc. tags: tsou, national geographic, immortality inc, life, science, aging, old age, health, future, technology, google, sickness, cancer, diabetes, heart, research, chip walter, justin weller, lance jackson.

The not so subtle joke has always been that the two things that are inevitable are death and taxes. And while efforts are always front and center to conquer disease and extend our life span, the inevitability of death has always loomed large. Even efforts to regenerate life and the fascination with cryogenics still acknowledged death. Now a whole new group of scientists are trying to defy the evolutionary idea of death. The funny thing is it’s not happening in the great halls of medicine. Not at NIH or Cleveland or Mayo Clinic or at our other great research hospitals, but in Silicon Valley. There, a group of wealthy boomers, not unlike aging politicians I guess, will do anything to avoid stepping aside. This is the world that Chip Walter takes us into in Immortality, Inc.: Renegade Science, Silicon Valley Billions, and the Quest to Live Forever My conversation with Chip Walter:

Tradd Cotter of Mushroom Mountain explores the untapped potential of mushrooms. Danny Fingeroth reflects on the life of Stan Lee, a true legend in the world of comic books. Sebastian Alvarado brings superheroes to the screen with cutting-edge science. Chip Walter shares the new advances in technology that might stop aging altogether. Ben Novak explains how scientists are using genetics to help combat the threats that many ecosystems are facing.

We boomers have to admit that our flower power is getting a wee bit long of tooth. The metaphor may be mixed but the message is the same—we are growing older. But, true to our revolutionary spirit, a number of our generation’s scientists are on an active quest to achieve immortality. And, according to our guest, they just might pull it off! Chip Walter is a science author, filmmaker, and former CNN bureau chief whose books include Last Ape Standing and Thumbs, Toes, and Tears. Among other notable publications his writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Scientific American and National Geographic magazine. Chip is joining us to share all about his latest collaboration with National Geographic. It’s his just released new book entitled: Immortality, Inc., Renegade Science, Silicon Valley Billions, and the Quest to Live Forever. Believe me, you are going to want to hear all about this one!

Sarah Palin has a new book out: Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas. It's more word salad from the former governor of Alaska, in which she laments the supposed assault on the Baby Jesus' Birthday. Check out Katy Steinmetz's humorous review at TIME.

Plus: Oddsmakers are taking bets on who the new Pope will be (although after we recorded this the Cardinals inconveniently chose Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has taken the name Pope Francis). A Christian school in California fired a pregnant woman for breaking the school code by fornicating--then offered the job her fiance (the man who got her pregnant)! Muslim rioters in Pakistan burned 100 homes over rumors that a Christian garbageman made disparaging remarks about the Prophet Mohammed. Luckily, President Asif Zardari is "asking religious leaders for suggestions on how to prevent misuse of the blasphemy law." Problem solved. The Baseball Bat of Doubt - By popular demand, we introduce a new, recurring segment in which listeners share the moment in which, for them, the cognitive dissonance of superstition was knocked aside by science, reason or logic.
