➡ Humans Living Forever: How Science Can Reverse Aging & Achieve Immortality Ft Niklas Anzinger

In today’s episode of the Renegade Science podcast, we have an illuminating conversation with Niklas Anzinger, the co-founder of Vitalia and founder of Infinita VC. Niklas shares his visionary approach to overcoming the laws and regulations that often hinder scientific innovation, proposing startup cities as a solution to fix the broken system.

This episode is a must-see for anyone interested in the future of scientific progress and innovative urban development.

We start by exploring the personal journey behind the creation of Vitalia and how the unique legal system of Prospera accelerates scientific innovation. Niklas explains why he chose longevity as the central focus for Vitalia and discusses whether it’s possible to make death optional within our lifetime. We also talked about the intriguing overlap between the longevity and crypto communities and how blockchain technology is reshaping the world with a decentralized mindset. Niklas provides insights into why building a startup city is better than founding a new country and how Prospera and Vitalia navigate legal frameworks to foster innovation.

Niklas shares his views on Government as a Service and why tech leaders should play a role in governance, leading to an explosion of new pop-up cities. He also talks about the future expansion of Vitalia and how these startup cities can become profitable ventures.

Towards the end, Niklas makes a compelling bet that the status quo will change and explains how Vitalia can drive this transformation. He also provides details on how to engage with Vitalia and offers insights into the Vitalia Acceleration.
