A short introduction to LEVITY
What we do, who we are, and where to begin.
The LEV in LEVITY
Exploring the path to longevity escape velocity? Yes, it’s right there in the name: LEVITY. We believe that aging is a biological design flaw and a solvable engineering problem. We believe that future humans will be ageless.
Make no mistake: To get there we will need extraordinary scientific breakthroughs, advanced new technology, and a broad cultural mindset shift in how we think about life and death.
LEVITY is going to tell you about those breakthroughs, explain the technology and shape the conversation to accelerate humanity toward longevity escape velocity.
We’d be delighted if you’d join us on that journey!
The people behind LEVITY
And who are the people behind LEVITY? Glad you asked. Hi! 👋 I’m Peter Ottsjö, Swedish journalist and author who’s been following this field more than a decade. I even wrote a book about it.
I’m also the CEO of LEVITY Media Group, creator of the LEVITY newsletter, co-host and co-producer of the LEVITY podcast.
Philosopher and author Dr. Patrick Linden is co-host and co-producer of the LEVITY podcast.
What to read and watch
To get a sense of what LEVITY is (and who I am), our very first post from late 2023 is a good place to start - it also doubles as an introduction to the longevity field.
After that, I’d recommend my piece on the technical roadmap to solving aging, created by the wonderful people at the Longevity Biotech Fellowship; it fills a few of the gaps the first post leaves.
Rounding out these foundational posts, I’d point you to the “Who’s Who of Longevity” (September 2024), where you’ll meet some of the leading figures in the field.
LEVITY goes the extra mile. You’ll stay on top of the latest longevity news - and you’ll also get deep reporting, thought-provoking essays, and thorough explainers. Below is a snapshot.
Speaking of extra miles, we pride ourselves on providing detailed show notes for every episode of the LEVITY podcast. Every guest brings with them a treasure trove of knowledge and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to explore further, should you want to.
To get the most out of LEVITY - and to support our work - you can upgrade to Premium. That unlocks exclusive features (like the posts below), access to the full archive and an ad-free experience. It’s only $5/month and it gets even cheaper if you choose our yearly subscription.
