From longevity and AI to the future of healthcare, innovation is moving fast but understanding is still catching up. The result is a growing tension between what’s being promised and what’s actually proven.

Today, David Ewing Duncan brings a grounded, big-picture perspective on these shifts. Drawing from his work at the intersection of science, technology, and human behavior, he explores why skepticism is rising, how hype can distort progress, and what it really means to live in an era of rapid innovation.

The conversation goes beyond longevity touching on self-awareness, the limits of current science, the role of AI, and how we can think more critically about the future we’re building.

Are we asking better questions or just chasing better tools?
