As a senior research fellow at Oxford University’s <em>Future of Humanity Institute </em>until its closing in 2024 Sandberg explores everything from cognitive enhancement and artificial intelligence to existential risks and space colonization. With a background in computational neuroscience, he bridges science and philosophy to tackle some of the most profound questions of our time: How can we expand our cognitive capacities? What are the ethical implications of radical life extension? Could we one day transcend biological limitations entirely? Known for his sharp intellect, playful curiosity, and fearless speculation, Sandberg challenges conventional wisdom, inviting us to imagine—and shape—a future where humanity thrives beyond its current constraints.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>00:00 introduction</p><p>04:18 exersise &amp; David Sinclair</p><p>06:10 Will we survive the century?</p><p>18:18 Who can we trust?
