I love Aubrey... he is totally at the forefront of his field... although, I do think that some show or youtube skit should poke fun at him alittle.. nothing too outrageous, just get somebody to speak in his accent with a lisp... and just say what he is talking about in this video... Nothing more than that, and the dialogue will make it funny as hell...
@Llortsaccount Well I actually work for the seasteading institute as an ambassador for them. Really this is what it's all about. Although it'll probably all begin with factories escaping minimum wage laws for immigrants who couldn't get visas. We'll move into growing algae for energy and domesticating animals. With that crops will be grown on seasteads in the ocean. Than you can have lower levels. Seasteading can make the earth hold literally a hundred billion people.
@Llortsaccount I'm assuming you've looked at Bangladesh and how they use to have 7 children per household and now it's 2.7? Also if overpopulation ever became a real issue "it wont" than it's time for Patri Friedman and the seasteading institute. 73% of the worlds unused space will be used to build cities and grow crops on.
I don't know, but i think Aubrey forgets about one important thing: once we're close to doing all this or once all people are really aware of it, there'll be a race, one hell of a lot of attention to this issue as never before. Much more scientists will get envolved, much more money will be dedicated to it, and the PUBLIC EYE will be starving for answers. Hence, after the first therapies, we might witness an even faster progress that the one he's talking about....
This is just too serious, this man should get all the money he needs, we spend so much on stupid things, like war. If we continue to take death for granted, it's gonna delay a possible solution even more. We must hurry, this is definately the most important issue for humanity, actually it's always been. I mean, if death dies, all other things can wait....
From what i understand, the only question that there is, according to Aubrey, is wether or not we're gonna make it, middle aged people. I'm 30 now, maybe i'll make it. The way he puts it, seems that it's obvious and not a question at all that my 2 year old daughter will DEFINATELY live up to a couple of thousand. A hundred years from now, this will be simple, easy to do, trivial. Maybe i won't make it, but the thought that we'll eventually be able to do it is already amazing.
You're 30 now, the nanotech golden age is 40 years away so, you might just make it if you can live to 70.
Go on a calorie controlled diet - 2,500 calories per day, 1 meal per day - also take the vitamin supplements used by Ray Kurzweil, almost all of whom are named in one of his books. Using these methods and regular exercise I don't see why you wouldn't live until 90 or 100.
I'm lucky, my gene history indicates long life. :D
@OntDinRS im 23, i was also curious about your gene history? i personally have the same feeling about my gene history. for example i think that at least 4 out of my 8 great grandparents lived into their 90s which is quite good for that period of time (approx 1880 - 1970). is this a similar idea to which you are basing your own potential natural longevity?
Yes I base my potential natural longevity on My grandmother's parents (both died in their 90s) and my grandfather's parents - 90 and 78 - typically 70-90 are my great grandparents on my mother's side, I can't remember their ages offhandedly.
My grandfather is still alive now at 89 and his parents live until 66 and 72, my grandmother died at 64 and my great grandmother died at 101, my great grandfather died in ww2 as a pilot so I'm unaware of the age he may have lived to.
I worded that poorly in a failed attempt to keep information to one comment - the second time I mention the word "grandfather" I am referring to my fathers parents as my mother's parents are still alive at 66 and 69.
Longevity escape velocity isn't unique to this form of treatment. The difference here I guess is that it's at least theoretically reachable with this method.
Also, I think he shouldn't rule out the possibility of combining this with aspects of other forms for treatment. Eg. treating alzeimers might be easier if the rest of the patients system is healthier due to this method.
Honestly, I'm not seeing the difference between LEV and immortality. What he explains, is kinda that LEV is NOT "invincibility". But I'm guessing the method won't be so effective that it simply eliminates aging, but considerably reducing it. I'm sure he realizes that.
Perhaps death is just a self fulfilling prophesy. As far as I know meat kills and fruit and vegatables promote a good and healthy metabolism. Experimenting on defencless animals in a lab is pointless and cruel. Veganism is the key to the New Age.
I wish they taught about the cool things you could do with science in school, rather than analysing basic leaf cells and drawing boring conclusions with no end result in mind...
@elczrilo we didn't know these things when you were in school, that's the reason why you weren't taught it... However there is no reason why the students in public school now aren't learning it...
Oh... Right... It's because public schools can only afford 10 year old biology books.
U can't make a needle secterian. Shame for the jewish. Aging has been already overcome, its' the rna and cell division, u're again represented with fake mask to work on. And of course important data are removed from the genome project. But considering the black projects, those might have cracked it even earlier, I'd say in the ninties. Since aids is man made they let it in the nineties, and it's very close to breaking the aging issue. Enjoy the fiasco :D. Soooo fake. Shits. Liers. Deceived many.
@n1bigdaddy u think that beer holding pervert can stop aging ? Do u believe it should be stopped at all ?
And do you think we should go with this materialistic approach stopping AGGING ? It's aging it's not so material I guess. This is lame, we must take down this wholw shit. I'm gonna enjoy 2012 when G-d fuck them up, cause they think it will be good , it's hell coming for them.
Smrndoff. Many other scientists have been ridiculed by biologists -Charles Darwin was heavily criticized. Just the basic premise that not very much is spent on this type of research is sad. But at the same time eye opening. I have come to many similar conclusions as Aubrey just doing basic longevity research. There is nothing in the least bit that is off the wall about his ideas -the fact that he is ambitious enough to pursue this is very positive. The science is very near to seeing some 130 y

Nice Speach, there is one case i heard of where damage was repaired, actually it is the only documented hiv cured patient. the damage was an impaired immune system, so the patient had the luck and was given a new immune system (bone marrow transplant with an hiv resisten system) the effect was a healthy cured person.
So if this approach can cure hiv
what else can we achieve?
By the way i would be interested in doing research in this area, replacing the immunse system with stemcell therapy.
I love watching this guy, would be awesome if his mission comes to fruition. One of the most entertaining scientists to watch. Ahhh to be alive 500 years and enjoy all the great beers~~~~~
I'm utterly amazed that people didn't walk out of this bullshit fantasy ''lecture'' by this obvious charlatan. In the UK he is ridiculed by respectable biologists.
@smrndoff If You feel this is all fantasy bullshit (very blanket statement) and he is not a respectable biologist, then could You enlighten us as to what is "not" bullshit and what IS "respectable", or are You going off the opinions of others without much grounds for Your own opinion, can You even spot "bullshit" in this area? I mean if Your gonna talk shit about someone can You back up why You think that in the first place? I'm genuinely asking You, show me the real deal.
@smrndoff I'm utterly amazed Ur "not" into listening 2this lecture, Are U interested in Life extension, or Biology? Even if this was bullshit he's an entertaining guy 2watch, if U don't like something why would U spend a whole hour. He admits numerous times how "we" are all quite ignorant of metabolism in general, and freely admits his own lack of knowledge,doesn't sound like a "know it all" or a "charlatan" he sounds like a very honest & self critical person. Did You even watch?
@Myflesh101 I spent a whole hour waiting for him to say something vaguely credible. It was nothing but a wish list with nonsensical graphs about escape velocities. He didn't propose a single idea of how to actually achieve his preposterous claims. Hey, wouldn't it be great to live long? yeah. Well I think we can manage it. Oooh Yeah, I need research funds. Oh Because it really could happen. Wooooh Yes, because aging sucks Yeah Cells get damaged. Mmm I can repair them. OH? But I need cash. zzz
@guysmy well J Craig Venter never thought abut being a biologist until the Vietnam War ended and he flunked High School. But once he went to be a corpse man and a student at a Community College and a PhD of UCSD he became to most respected biologists of the last 10 years. I noticed the most respected scientists we hear today came from backgrounds you never thought of.
I estimate that some time near the end of this century, the average person can have their bodies enhanced through nanotechnology enough that we could literally halt the aging process. The good thing is, most people under 35 have a chance of seeing this happen.
The good news is that a lot of scientists in the normal science community is starting to pay attention to this as a very effective cure of a lot of diseases.
Please donate as much as you can to his organization. If we want to make this a reality in our lifetime his organization needs all the help it can get. :-)
Listen Aubrey if you're going to talk about living forever get your teeth fixed buddy, they've had that tech for centuries.. you can't tell us you want to promote health with teeth in your head.
@JuggernautJeep so some1 has to be perfect to be a genuis? get the hell out of here ..pls~ its his choice to be like that, who are you to judge any1 really?
@dishy200 Endorsement is qualified mostly by presentation Dishy, and Aubrey has his genius to thank for overcoming that need. He has however changed his tune from the extremity to a more socially acceptable one to accomplish recognition ini the short term. As far as the rest of your nonsense w/e cuddy.
@BioShockxx regardless he is more intelligent than that monkey inbred in the white house trying to convince us to pay for inner city minorities health care
The beer aids in the cells toughness of decomposing junk in his body :) One day when all that is left is fermented fruit, his species will grow and find it's niche. :)
i would like aubrey to talk in more detail about his reasearch, his articels and the such. im reading his book and its far better than his talks. ferthermore he seems to utter the same retoric all the time (joks and all).
@JDSproducitons well i guess they should have the choice not to live forever if we are eventually able to defeat aging.. if their was proof of spiritually, i wouldnt want to live forever on this earth, but yeah for a long time because its always gonna be hard to say goodbye.
One of Aubrey's best talks if you ask me. Doesn't get distracted, stays on track and is very quick, confident and clear in his explanations. Thanks for posting! For some a talk like this can be a real eye-opener.
But why drinking alcohol? isn't it ironic that someone professing longevity is at the same time partaking in a degenerative activity.. if indeed that was beer?
Often wondered about that too. It either belies a deep-seated fatalism about his crusade, or he believes the time lost to alcoholism will be gained in increased productivity/ excitement.
I'm twenty now and I hope that I'll stick around long enough to benefit from the things mentioned in this video. With my luck It'll probably be too expensive...
Because viruses are not a result metabolism's wear and tear, but the level of susceptibility to infections is a direct result of metabolic damage i.e. the collapse of the immune system.
Metabolic activity results in viral infections as an unintended side effect.
Persistent viral infections accumulate and contribute to age-related pathologies.
Without curing persistent diseases, elderly organisms will continue to gradually transform into a walking collection of warts, spots, and STDs that nobody will want to go anywhere near.
Young people don't get those diseases, they mainly target older people. If the body were maintained in a continually youthful state then you'd constantly have the same chance of getting those diseases as any 20 year old has, which is precisely what SENS is all about. The older you get the more susceptible you become.
Checking with the list of persistent infections: Papillomavirus, AIDS, various Epstein-Barr virus, Herpes simplex, Varicella zoster - you will see many of them are not too fussy about the age of their victims. There are other non-viral persistent infections as well - such as the infections that cause tooth decay. These are deleterious things that accumulate and eventually cause pathology when the individual is sufficiently burdened with them.
Looking at Aubrey's categories, pathogens could probably be shoehorned into 1) and 2) - provided a sufficiently wooly definition of "junk" is used. However "crosslinks" gets its own category. Pathogens seem at least as fundamental.
Again, they're not included in the types of damage because, as you admitted, they are not directly caused by aging, they are caused by other outside forces that cause infection. Certainly, susceptibility to them is increased by aging, but again, not DIRECTLY caused by it.
It sounds as though you have a misconception about Aubrey's list. It is not a list of problems caused by senescence. It is a list of problems that are side effects of metabolic processes that accumulate and *cause* age-related pathologies.
It is a list of things that *cause* aging - NOT a list of things caused *by* aging. See 6:00.
I think you're the one who needs to pay better attention because throughout all of Aubrey's talks, he always describes it as a deadly feedback loop; senescence causes aging which in turn causes more pathologies to occur, and the cycle repeats endlessly until irreparable damage is caused to the individual. And even if you were right about this, again, things like AIDS and Papillomavirus have no correlation with aging or causing it.
You're definitely in the wrong video then. SENS is about stopping death caused by aging, not other causes of death like cancer or autoimmune deficiency.
Mostly people don't want to get sick and die. Pathogens are a substantial cause of sickness and death. They cause age-related sickness and mortality - i.e. they are part of the aging process.
As I said, without curing persistent diseases, aging organisms gradually transform into a walking collection of warts, spots, and STDs that nobody wants to associate with.
No, it is a list of damages, not causes. The damages are, in turn, the causes of age-related illness. The damages constitute agedness, whereas the accumulation of the damages constitutes aging.
@inkstersco We already discussed that point: having your cells hijacked by pathogens is a kind of damage to it - according to the definition of "damage" given by Aubrey in the video at 06:00. The point should be fairly obvious - if you don't deal with persistent pathogens, they gradually accumulate, and are likely to eventually result in death.

@guysmy well J Craig Venter never thought abut being a biologist until the Vietnam War ended and he flunked High School. But once he went to be a corpse man and a student at a Community College and a PhD of UCSD he became to most respected biologists of the last 10 years. I noticed the most respected scientists we hear today came from backgrounds you never thought of.

I estimate that some time near the end of this century, the average person can have their bodies enhanced through nanotechnology enough that we could literally halt the aging process. The good thing is, most people under 35 have a chance of seeing this happen.

Google gives thousands of results for autophagocytosis. So I'll go with autophagocytosed or -cytozed, depending on which side of the pond you're on.

Why are persistent viral infections not considered to be an 8th type of cumulative damage by Aubrey (or which category is he shoehorning them into)?
tmtyler 2 years ago
Because viruses are not a result metabolism's wear and tear, but the level of susceptibility to infections is a direct result of metabolic damage i.e. the collapse of the immune system.
Air420 2 years ago
Metabolic activity results in viral infections as an unintended side effect.
Persistent viral infections accumulate and contribute to age-related pathologies.
Without curing persistent diseases, elderly organisms will continue to gradually transform into a walking collection of warts, spots, and STDs that nobody will want to go anywhere near.
tmtyler 2 years ago
Young people don't get those diseases, they mainly target older people. If the body were maintained in a continually youthful state then you'd constantly have the same chance of getting those diseases as any 20 year old has, which is precisely what SENS is all about. The older you get the more susceptible you become.
PsychoJosh 1 year ago
Checking with the list of persistent infections: Papillomavirus, AIDS, various Epstein-Barr virus, Herpes simplex, Varicella zoster - you will see many of them are not too fussy about the age of their victims. There are other non-viral persistent infections as well - such as the infections that cause tooth decay. These are deleterious things that accumulate and eventually cause pathology when the individual is sufficiently burdened with them.
tmtyler 1 year ago
Looking at Aubrey's categories, pathogens could probably be shoehorned into 1) and 2) - provided a sufficiently wooly definition of "junk" is used. However "crosslinks" gets its own category. Pathogens seem at least as fundamental.
tmtyler 1 year ago
Again, they're not included in the types of damage because, as you admitted, they are not directly caused by aging, they are caused by other outside forces that cause infection. Certainly, susceptibility to them is increased by aging, but again, not DIRECTLY caused by it.
PsychoJosh 1 year ago
It sounds as though you have a misconception about Aubrey's list. It is not a list of problems caused by senescence. It is a list of problems that are side effects of metabolic processes that accumulate and *cause* age-related pathologies.
It is a list of things that *cause* aging - NOT a list of things caused *by* aging. See 6:00.
tmtyler 1 year ago 39
I think you're the one who needs to pay better attention because throughout all of Aubrey's talks, he always describes it as a deadly feedback loop; senescence causes aging which in turn causes more pathologies to occur, and the cycle repeats endlessly until irreparable damage is caused to the individual. And even if you were right about this, again, things like AIDS and Papillomavirus have no correlation with aging or causing it.
PsychoJosh 1 year ago
Re: "think you're the one who needs to pay better attention" - I see no evidence for me not paying attention.
Re: AIDS, Papillomavirus not causing aging - AIDS and Papillomavirus both -frequently cause *death*.
tmtyler 1 year ago
You're definitely in the wrong video then. SENS is about stopping death caused by aging, not other causes of death like cancer or autoimmune deficiency.
PsychoJosh 1 year ago
This has been flagged as spam show
Mostly people don't want to get sick and die. Pathogens are a substantial cause of sickness and death. They cause age-related sickness and mortality - i.e. they are part of the aging process.
As I said, without curing persistent diseases, aging organisms gradually transform into a walking collection of warts, spots, and STDs that nobody wants to associate with.
tmtyler 1 year ago
@tmtyler
No, it is a list of damages, not causes. The damages are, in turn, the causes of age-related illness. The damages constitute agedness, whereas the accumulation of the damages constitutes aging.
inkstersco 1 year ago
@inkstersco We already discussed that point: having your cells hijacked by pathogens is a kind of damage to it - according to the definition of "damage" given by Aubrey in the video at 06:00. The point should be fairly obvious - if you don't deal with persistent pathogens, they gradually accumulate, and are likely to eventually result in death.
