@jonynz@bryan_johnson Good point. But consider Matthew 24:38 and Daniel 12:4. There is a non zero probability that we’ll get antediluvian lifespans before the end of days…
@PeterDiamandis Excellent! Did congress get the memo? Getting old and frail is the most
Serious and most budget busting national security issue we have. Aging research should have the more budget than the pentagon.
@richbrewco@davidasinclair This is a very good point. If we do everything that is currently possible perfectly perfect in every way we may get 20 years. Extend the average healthspan from ~80 to ~100 years. No science breakthroughs needed. Beyond that only breakthroughs will save us.
@bryan_johnson Awesome! You are getting back on track. Just because the Mormons were wrong does not mean all religions are wrong. And if they are, you don’t have a ghost of a chance at immortality no matter what you do. Start from scratch. Assume there is a supreme being that loves you.
@daveasprey@bryan_johnson The problem is still that only governments and billionaires and big corporations have the resources to respond to stuff like this. I seriously doubt that Bryan Johnson or blueprint could pull off what he describes for Hantavirus or any other threat. Maybe Musk could.
@aravind_mobile@bryan_johnson@micsolana Not really. the exercise of knowing how to control them is valuable science. Sure it’s a little dangerous because existing knowledge of biomarkers and their interactions is incomplete. hopefully it won’t be fatal and we will all learn something…
@bryan_johnson This is totally doable. You are probably gonna need to build your lab in house. You will need pac bio long read sequencing , mass spec, and bisulfite sequencing for epigenetics. Happy to help
@bryan_johnson@OldeWorldTales I am not so sure about this. I live in the deep
Forest. It’s full of ticks. I have to wear full body suits every time I go out except for a few winter months. If even one tick breaches the defense I could get Lyme disease which would be a lifelong condition.
@bryan_johnson Does this really matter though? If we assume that you have already produced all the kids you want too, what difference does it make the actual aging process what your fertility markers are?
@TopsailT@bryan_johnson Pretty sure the OS is broken too. As soon as we ate the Apple evolution started happening, and next thing you know our genome is full of sines and lines that de methylate and age us…
@drgurner@agamemnon_ab@davidasinclair lol, I am busting my ass on those every day. Please help me. Start by becoming vegetarian if you are not already. Zoonotic diseases are responsible for the majority of the pathogens! :-)
@drgurner@agamemnon_ab@davidasinclair To be precise, there are currently 1407 known human pathogens according to Grok. But new ones are constantly emerging. War,poverty , and lack of health education are the primary evolutionary drivers of human pathogens. Beat those through the political process…
@drgurner@agamemnon_ab@davidasinclair True. But we can tackle these things through education, tactical interventions. For instance if people consistently wear tick suits in the woods and garden, the risk of tick borne diseases drops exponentially even in high risk areas
@daniel_koss@bryan_johnson Not sure if this criticism is valid, given the importance of healthy sexuality in aging. And there is much more research that is needed. Despite being asked directly, Bryan has yet to answer the “How often “ question.
@bryan_johnson Enemies of humanity:
1. The tobacco industry
2. The alcohol industry
3. The sugar industry
4. The meat industry
5. The fire arms industry
Any others that should be named?
When it comes to longevity, life has three parts:
0–25: Your body takes care of you
25–50: You take care of your body
50+: Your body reflects how well you did in part two
