The Spin

Techno-optimist narrative

Age reversal isn't science fiction anymore; it's happening right now in labs across the country. Harvard researchers have successfully reset cells to younger states in mice and monkeys, restoring vision and reversing tissue damage by up to 90%. With AI accelerating discovery, pills that activate longevity genes could hit the market within a decade for just $100 a month, making tissue rejuvenation accessible to everyone instead of only the ultra-wealthy.

Techno-skeptic narrative

The longevity industry peddles false hope while draining wallets and straining health care systems. Four companies founded on aging reversal claims have gone bankrupt with nothing to show investors — yet the hype continues unabated. Full-body scans and biological age tests lack evidence for improving health outcomes, creating cascades of unnecessary procedures that burden already stretched medical resources while distracting from proven interventions like exercise and healthy eating.
