The pursuit of extended lifespans, or longevity, emerged as a significant trend, blending scientific exploration with philosophical questions about the purpose of living longer. Discussions ranged from anti-aging experiments and biohacking to speculative conversations between world leaders about potentially reaching 150 years or even immortality. Billionaires are investing heavily in longevity research, with figures like Bryan Johnson actively pursuing 'Project Blueprint' to defy aging, suggesting a future where death might be overcome.
