For this edition, we cover:
- For biohackers in Singapore, aging is optional
- Where the Philippines stands in Southeast Asia’s data center race
Hello reader,
The band Queen once sang, “Who wants to live forever?” These days, biohackers say: Why not?
One of the most well-known faces of the global biohacking movement is tech millionaire Bryan Johnson, whose translucent skin I’m sure you’ve seen on social media.
His “Don’t Die” movement has made its way to Singapore, home to a growing community that is pushing the limits of longevity, one supplement, sensor, and cold plunge at a time.
It’s hard not to be at least a little cynical when biohackers say they can live to 200 years old or when they brag about their metabolic age. But as someone who just hit their 30s and sprains his ankle just by looking at a football, I’m starting to get the appeal of aging a little bit slower.
Our Big Story today explores how a group of biohackers in the city-state are fighting against time. Some of their methods are science-backed, while others are, well, still in the experimental stage.
Meanwhile, today’s Spotlight discusses the Philippines’ race to catch up in Southeast Asia’s booming data center market, despite rising power costs and fierce regional competition.
