@wrightsTrading @Madam_Mito @FrezzaLab @donalddhoffman I agree that it exists and that it is the faculty of awareness (though here we're in danger of circular logic, or just using synonyms).

Just because understanding consciousness might turn out to be "like biting one's own teeth" doesn't mean that matter is condensed from it.

@Madam_Mito @FrezzaLab @donalddhoffman You have made it your life's mission to defeat aging.

So have I. But I don't have a safety net.

@Madam_Mito @FrezzaLab @donalddhoffman Listen to me: there are individuals belonging to Somniosus microcephalus still swimming around since the time of Cervantes and Shakespeare.

Individuals of Pinus longaeva still standing since before Sumer.

Do you think Consciousness is experiencing itself through them?

[Image Occlusion @ImageOcclusion]

@Madam_Mito @FrezzaLab @donalddhoffman Donald is wrong. And no one can justifiably claim to be a paladin against aging whilst clinging onto the idea of an impersonal, aeternal, and/or infinite "stuffness" that somehow presents to them as "the Deal".

"Consciousness" is just a secularized New Age word.

@Madam_Mito @echoesofBob @amyalkon @MaxUnfried It's looking to me like the rate of computational progress has a sort of tetration pattern now. Biology is extremely hard, but not infinitely so. Solving systemic partial reprogramming won't take another 100 years, all other things remaining the same.

@Madam_Mito @echoesofBob @amyalkon @MaxUnfried Not another 100 years, but rather "like a thief in the night":

@Madam_Mito @OxUniMaths I acknowledged to you once that you owe nothing to anyone. My point is that a truly obsessed person acts as though they can do everything themselves. Shaw's unreasonable man, and so forth.

I have the obsession, but not the intelligence to make a dent in aging. You have both.

[Image Occlusion @ImageOcclusion]

@Madam_Mito @OxUniMaths Then act. Why won't you act?

@Madam_Mito Merry a many Christmas to you and yours, Madam Mitochondria. #TrueLegend

@Madam_Mito I wonder if "Life" is like an organelle. A ribosome, say: it makes a protein without knowing what it is it's making.

But a Cell has no clue that such a thing as a ribosome even exists.

Musings on "Will" [0] might be of a similar nature.

@BeingButterfly_ @angiesez @donalddhoffman I don’t think there is free will. We are in a deterministic program. If we weren’t, then retro causality couldn’t exist but we have proven it does through countless experiments.

@OldWorldFL Directly across my balcony I see "Las ruinas de Caparra", the first Spanish settlement in Puerto Rico, founded by Juan Ponce de León, its first governor.

Do you know what Cristobal Colón named this Island originally, in 1493?

It's very relevant to FL.

@Madam_Mito Then neither is Consciousness nor Everettian QM.

We must keep alive to find out WTF is going on.

[Image Occlusion @ImageOcclusion]

@Madam_Mito @dazzammm @fecklessfox1000 What is the opposite of "free will"? It's not determinism. The opposite of determinism (and superlatives) is indeterminism, which means unpredictability. And unpredictability isn't quite randomness.

What is "free will" an illusion of? A sleight of hand of what?

@Aging_Advice This was great, Josh. Some of the loveliest 10 minutes I ever spent listening to.

Still, I must ask: how do you reconcile this meditation with your work on physical aging?

@Madam_Mito @historyrock_ The jumping jacks were cool, but the really impressive part was the couple of steps forward and the posture at the end of this clip. Those looked very youthful.

@Madam_Mito @historyrock_ So nice to see this. Although Paul is looking well for his age, Ringo is exhibiting much better function it seems.

@Madam_Mito @AlexanderMWolf7 @DrMorganLevine And yet, the vast majority of haemo-onco MDs/PhDs are not interested in being a part of that cavalry.

You're most likely right about programmed aging in the marrow. But you need to join a lab.
