And much like the first Industrial Revolution, this period will be marked by profound change. According to Doug Casey, matter, energy, space, and time will "soon be manipulated on a cosmic scale"… thanks to rapid advances in technology.

For example, life extension breakthroughs could soon solve the problem of aging. If that happens, Doug says you could "be, do, and have everything that you can imagine."

That makes it one of the most important advancements to watch going forward. So I recently got Doug on the phone to learn more about the implications of life extension. We hope you enjoy this brand-new interview.
