Musk: humans are programmed for death because the body ages synchronously.
American entrepreneur Elon Musk stated that humans are programmed for death, but the issue of longevity can be addressed. His words were noted by Fortune magazine.
Musk reflected on death in an interview for the podcast Moonshots with Peter Diamandis. The head of Tesla and SpaceX said he views longevity as a challenge and that the problems on the way to it can be solved. According to Musk, the human body is programmed for death: "If you change that program, you will live longer."
The 54-year-old businessman talked about how all organs and body parts age synchronously. In his opinion, there is a certain mechanism that controls this process. "No one has an old left hand and a young right hand. Why is that? What maintains their synchronization?" Musk pondered.
In conclusion, Elon Musk promised that in the foreseeable future, all people will have access to top-level healthcare. However, there will be a problem that society will become more inert and unwilling to change: in Musk's view, organizational leaders and political leaders will not want to retire because they will be able to live longer.
Earlier, Elon Musk expressed outrage over the new deal between Apple and Google in the field of artificial intelligence. In Musk's opinion, this will make Google a monopoly in the smartphone market.
