Part 10/12:
Wrapping up, the "Back of the Brief" segment highlights an astonishing incident caught on a hot mic during the Beijing parade: Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and North Korea's Kim Jong-un appeared to discuss humanity’s quest for eternal life. According to a transcript from the live stream, Putin talked about advances in biotechnology—transplanting organs and achieving immortality—and the possibility of humans living up to 150 years old.
The conversation, only available briefly before the feed cut out, hinted at a shared obsession among these aging leaders with extending their lifespans. They appeared to be contemplating a future where death might be conquered—an eerie reflection of their personal ambitions and perhaps, their desire to cement their rule beyond natural limits.
