A breakthrough in life extension will force Russians to work longer, believes scientist Roman Litvinov from Volgograd State Medical University. He argues that extending the period of healthy, active life expands human capital and accelerates economic growth 📈.
According to Litvinov, the foundation of the next technological revolution will not be the much-hyped AI 🤖, but the extension of an active, healthy lifespan. The reason is simple: the human being is both the starting point and the final unit of all social and economic systems.
“When we increase the number of years in which a person remains healthy, employable, cognitively capable, and motivated, we expand human capital — and thus speed up the development of the economy, medicine, science, and education,” he says 🧠.
This means that the next scientific and technological revolution will be biotechnological 🧬, Litvinov believes.
