How family dynamics interfere with longevity discussions

My brother and I are both in our fifties researching longevity science but we keep falling into our old family dynamic where he dismisses my research as 'internet nonsense' while I think he's too conservative and missing opportunities. We both care about living longer but we can't seem to have a productive conversation about it without our childhood roles taking over.
