Seeking immortality: Aubrey de Grey at TEDxSalford

[@JFMeakerII]

I'm going to live forever, or die trying. There is no limit to the things I would do for the ability to be alive in a billion years. Its tragic that i may die having never seen even a fraction of a percent of all the infinite wonder there is in the universe, simply because my body and mind are programmed to fall apart after awhile.

We are living in an era in which immortality is within the grasp of many people living today. Those who live long enough to see the singularity in 2045 will see an explosion in anti-aging technology. Remember, technological progress is exponential, not linear. Though we see very little in terms of anti-aging today, you can be sure that it will soon sky-rocket. It's an exciting time to be alive.

Always great to see SENS continuing to progress. A lot of people are going to look back decades from now and be very thankful to Aubrey de Grey. We're still at that stage of life where the majority of people are still under a state of learned denial. I call them aging deniers. They deny that aging is the number 1 problem facing humanity. And yet this is so mathematically obvious it requires redefinition of words in order to keep the denial up. People redefine "Natural" to mean good, instead of the state of nature without any human intervention. Human intervention can be bad, but it can also be good. Reversing aging is a good intervention in the same way that putting up mosquito nets to conquer malaria is a good intervention. People redefine "Population" to me problem, instead of the number of people alive. No person is a problem unless they are incapable of caring for themselves in a sustainable fashion. It turns out that there are only 2 groups of people who can't care for themselves sustainably. Those who haven't been trained well enough to do it, and those who aren't healthy enough to do it. What will happen, once aging maintenance is solved, is that the proportion of people are aren't healthy enough to do it will be an ever diminishing percentage, and with the additional health, the proportion of people not trained enough to do it will also be an ever diminishing percentage, and the world will be getter. Between SENS and the NIA's research into the mechanisms of aging, the spend on anti-aging research is ridiculously small. I am so glad SENS is there to make help it work and hope people start getting the message more over time. This is a real solution to the biggest problem facing the world today. And it i the best solution we've yet seen.

[@elletts]

Tony Reno A lot of people are going to look back decades from now and be very thankful to Aubrey de White. :P

[@megalodon7916]

You think aging is the number 1 problem facing humanity? That Population won't be a problem? Ha! How naive, how childish. You claim to occupy the intellectual high ground without fully grasping the bigger picture. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

[@tonyreno3168]

Megalodon I have seen how it is sold to everyone that population is a "Problem" on late night ads for aid to developing countries. They always show pictures of war torn areas with backward governments and crazy dictators and say, "See, Population is a time bomb." This, of course, is not some new theory. It goes back to Thomas Malthus the late 18th century when the world population was 1 billion and the prediction was that it couldn't sustain 1.5 billion. What all of the "Population, oh my!" people keep failing to understand is that people are not just born with mouths to feed. They are also born with hands to work and minds to invent. Let's suppose "Population" were the issue everyone says it is. Then what do you think would be a more expensive place to buy land, Tombstone Arizona, or New York, New York? "Population" is not an issue. But lets say that it was an issue. Then let's do a study and find out what are the factors that have the biggest mathematical impact on population? Is it A. Number of children per couple? B. How soon child bearing begins? C. Age at death? It turns out that this is the mathematical order of importance. A is far more important than B. B is far more important than C. The effect of A is a high geometric effect. The effect of B is a low geometric effect. The effect of C is a low linear effect. But put the math books aside and actually do the research. Go around the world and find where the population growth is that greatest. You will find that you can list the roughly 200 countries of the world. And you can compare their population growth rates (through birth, not immigration) against their life expectancy. From what you are saying, the longest lived populations should be the fastest growing. In fact it is the exact opposite. It is the shortest lived populations that are the fastest growing, and many western countries with very long life spans have populations that are stable or nearly shrinking, but for the immigration coming from the rapid growth in parts of the world with the lowest longevity. I understand that intuition is misleading here. People think the big deal is insuring the death rate continues, but the age of death is way way down the list, and is, surprisingly, a counter-indicator of population growth rate. How can this be? It's simple. The long people live, the more they delay having their first children. In short-lived countries women are having children in their teens, and having 4 or more children. In long lived countries women are waiting till their mid twenties and having, on average, just over 2 children, and that average is dropping over time (as more women choose to now have children, or to just have 1). What causes trouble in the world is not the number of people, but how those people live. If they live intelligently, the carrying capacity of the world is far higher than it is now. And in the process, the total wealth of the world enables technologies that are not now possible, including oceanic habitats, underground building, and even space elevator technology to vastly reduce the cost of building in space using materials mined in space. But even without those advances, there is no imminent population crunch from people not dying. The added health and working lives of people would create such a boom in the ability to do massive development projects that earth could easily house 10 times it's current population. And as the birth rate drops below 2, the growth curve reaches a curve that doesn't leap up boundlessly, but reaches a maximum point. "Population?" Behind that fear is the concept that there will be no new farmers, or no new technologies. But our technology is at the infancy. We are just barely starting to learn how chemistry and biochemistry works. We cannot yet make meat from sunlight and air, but we should be able to, because that is exactly what plants and animals, working together do. The plants use sunlight to turn Carbon Dioxide, water and a handful of trace minerals into food. The animals turn that food into meat. People think we are advanced now, but within 3 decades we'll have mastered all of that. People are already 3D printing meat now that was not grown on an animal. If you look at history, we have the lowest percentage of starving people ever in history. And if you ignored war torn areas that percentage would be vanishingly small. And this is despite the fact that we have 7 times what the earth had the first time we were worried about population killing us. Everyone who looks at population with fear doesn't understand how far we are from the limits of technology, and doesn't appreciate how having more people helps technology advance faster. You'd think after over 200 years of seeing this work people would figure it out by now, but they don't. They, like you, are too naive to do the research.

[@FrostbitexP]

Megalodon Whats worse, near 200,000 people dying every day? Or over population. Id probably pick over population. Which is also preventable if we do it right. Stopping aging, and stopping over population will be a win win.

[@shawngregory5879]

ImCrazy intertestingly, you have just described the bibles over all plan for the future... interesting

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

Have been a big fan of Aubrey de grey and his SENS organization. Death from aging is something I hope fewer or fewer of us will die from. In the future, hopefully death by aging will be an optional thing. Those that embrace aging are welcome to die from it, that's your choice, and we will respect your choice. But the rest of us will choose to transcend aging. As we age, our risks of developing cancer, and dementia such as Alzheimer disease increase exponentially. I for one would not want myself nor any other person to be subjected to such cruelty.

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

For those who are interested in helping aubrey de grey, you can donate to www.sens.org/ They've made scientific progress and still could use more donations =)

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

Usad Rebs I don't think you understand me or the transhumanist movement. If you look at people who consider themselves transhumanists, they are generally liberal left, or libertarian right. Generally Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul type supporters. We generally oppose over reach of government and of course would condemn any form of genocide or forcible moving of individuals. You seem to be saying that we will treat you just as the Europeans will treat the native Americans. This is not the case. We want everyone to be free, in fact this is the one basis of the transhumanist movement: to be freer from things like pathology from aging. Empathy will never be obsolete, it encourages understanding to how others feel and invites us to be friendly individuals. If I had the ability to reprogram myself, infact I would reprogram out anger and hatred and even increase my capacity for empathy. Another thing: Where are you getting this idea that we will not respect your choice? Hornestly we really don't care whether or not you choose to upgrade your body or not nor will we support committing war crimes or CAH such as forcible moving of people in the way you describe.

[@tentenleeneji8602]

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

First of all, transhumanists are not part of the "elite". None of us are congressmen or lobbyists. I can tell you as someone who regularly talks to individuals who identify as "transhumanists", that they are not narcissistic. The likes of David Pierce, Aubrey De Grey, and many friends do really want to eradicate suffering to the world. They really are interested in saving many lives, and not just their own. As Aubrey stated, aging causes a lot of suffering and kills 100,000 lives every single day. Many of us, such as Machine Intelligence Research Institute are also quite concerned with potential abuse of advanced AI and are researching safeguards for such tech. Our goals are not purely about saving the self, it's about saving as many individuals as possible from involuntary death, and reducing involuntary suffering.

People always ask the wrong questions. To me, the question should be: DO YOU want to live forever? Because you're not being forced to. And I suspect, the majority of people (especially religious people) will be content to just live out their 80 years and meet their God. But those few who do want to learn to play more musical instruments, read more books, or be able to travel in space and reach Neptune while still young, would be interested in this. Don't worry about overpopulation. although I suspect that some years along some religious people will begin to envy the long lived people and will think... "Why not? AFter all, God has forever to wait up there. What's the rush?" And this drug will be expensive so only the most dedicated people will want to spend money on it. :) The best part is the earliest beneficiaries to this might be our pet cats and dogs.

[@derkevevin]

wat? source? And he didn't say "today" he said in the next few decades. Of course it will take a while to get results and a working therapy, especially if they DON'T get enough support. Also he said (in another talk or interview) that these therapies, in the start, will not give you an indefinite lifespan, but rather an extension of 20 years, or 50 years (I don't exactly remember numbers he said), which will give us more time to wait for improvements with further extensions of the lifespan and so on, until we have the real thing. This is why Aubrey de Grey believes that the first person to live to being a thousand years old is already alive today.

[@Spore0011]

Mortebianca Wikipedia is nice.. but it's know where near being a definitive source because its being written by people who are biased in todays paradigms. and not the next 20yrs of potential breakthrus. the lot of them follow the way things are "right now". and in the mental capacity of "oh its at 1 percent so it'll take forever."

Portable PlatypusDotCom Thanks, you just blessed me with the gift of immortality.. that's kinda cool

[@MKhidlir]

Jonathan Smith Hi Jonathan, maybe this is for you: Live longer, healthier, more stamina even at old ripe age, healthy skin, more wealth...and more importantly, more time for ourselves, our beloved ones and last but not least...more time to care for other people, helping people's lives.....yess, I guess most of you will agree with me. But the big question is HOW are we going to do that? It seems only a dream that can be reached by wealthy people. It is true-yesterday! However with fast growing technology, internet and good people, this is possible and even for average people like myself .... This resveratrol is maybe one of the answers available on earth right now among other things. It helps many people with diabetic problem, some cancer diseases, neural problems, fertility, et cetera. How is this possible? The answer perhaps lays that this resveratrol is solving the root cause of the problem. It cures and fixes or repairs on cell level. CMIIW. It happens to my mother's friend anyway. How am I get to this resveratrol thing? This is possible by one product that is patented called RESERVE by Jeunesse company. The product is kind of edible gel with patented special packaging and also is Halal. You can see the product in uncle google or here www.gandaria.jeunesseglobal.com Hope by sharing this and my franchise online store, I could help many people changing their lives for the better , live healthier or even better make them a millionaire (a part from resveratrol, Jeunesse is having an e-commerce business platform with global dropshipping and network marketing pattern that is possible to make the business grow fast). It is my dream to make 1000 millionaire in 2020 and see people lives in healthier, wealthier, happier, respect and loving and peaceful world.

i believe the way you fight ageing is, through being creative in your mind, like doing tapestries or draw pictures writing poems quotes and stories, not worrying about dying because you come back to do it again anyway, i like his integrity to try and look at ageing as a disease, but there is no such thing as death anyway, you get reborn as someone else, and if you look after yourself in this life, you will be given a fresh young look in the next life, so my motto is PARTY PARTY PARTY, ok

now thats how a video is done ;) top quality

[@dragonrage500]

look guys. don't wanna sound stupid or anything but isn't the whole point of lack of resources and everything because people ONLY live so many years and therefor arn't really planning long term?? if suddenly humans can double or pretty much live forever.(not really seeing as EVERYTHING ends eventually) but knowing they have a greater expanse of time to live wouldn't their planning change to encompass that then? also as for money. there are literally dozens of ways to make money. some are TIME CONSUMING though. but if you have hundreds-thousands of years, taking time to make money is no longer that big a deal is it? letting money sit in the bank and gather interest would take a LONG time. but if you have the time and can keep adding to the amount in the bank eventually you hit a point where you could live off the interest right? as for limited resources. if(when, maybe) humanity gains some kinda psuedo-immortality, won't there become certain rules, limitations set? also on the point of criminals. somehow I do not think people would waste whatever resource it is to make humanity immortal on people who are gonna serve life sentences anyway(imagine then it would be 2 or 3 life sentences) but then why not just say you spend the next 160 years in jail barring good behavior :/ no i don't think they would make criminals immortal(and that is IF the damn concept can EVER actually become a reality) and besides. there will be plenty of religious nuts and fanatics saying we shouldn't. the answer is simple then. you don't HAVE to. but some things should be made to continue on. especially those who could HELP(people who could use this amount of time to better humanity, or who could teach future generations of things they will NEED.)

[@WaffleWaffles]

So much knowledge and experience is lost after we've spent a lifetime of learning, if the world had fewer people but those fewer people lived 2 or 3 times longer then the world would be a far more knowledgeable and wise place. Currently by the time you are mature in understanding of people and the world, and you can really start to appreciate life, your body starts letting you down.

rocking it . awesome btw

[@NikolaosSkordilis]

De Grey cherry picked the aging costs, unfortunately, to prove his point; and a man like him is certainly knowledgeable enough to be able to recognize and avoid a fallacy like that, a fallacy loved by sly politicians. Yes, aging related diseases cost a lot of money, that's unquestionable. But what about the pension money, planetary resources, environmental impact, CO2 etc etc spared by the pensioners' deaths? What would the total former cost be in relation to the total latter costs if the mean life expectancy skyrocketed to 120 years, on a planet of 7+ billion people? Don't get me wrong, I am all for a 150 year life expectancy or even immortality. But it would destroy us if we achieved that before having the means to escape our planet. If that happens while we are still trapped on Earth, before being able to start colonizing space, it would be an open invitation for a full blown WW3. Later on, the remaining survivors can forget any dream of conquering space for at least 100 years, while "living" on a planetary hell. If this research goes head to head with colonization specific space expeditions, I am all for it, but assessing it independently of our space efforts is meaningless at best, very dangerous at worst.

[@Mehdital89]

The economic necessity will force the solution to show up. But if Ray Kurzweil is right, all we would need at the end of this decaded is energy, nothing else. The singularity is near!!

[@DarthQueefious]

Escaping the planet wouldn't be needed. The same technology needed to do this 'age maintenance' would also help us to minimise the ill effects of overpopulation.

[@Kansyn]

Thank god for SpaceX.

[@squamish4244]

We don't really have a choice. We KNOW there is a huge demographic catastrophe presented by the aging of the Baby Boomers, and the rest is less well known and lies farther in the future, even if only a few decades.

[@warewolf435]

Nikolaos Skordilis I know this was two months ago, but they said we would all die of starvation if our population kept expanding. We kept expanding, and we're doing just fine (relatively speaking). I'm not trying to be a dick, but humans have shown time and time again that we can overcome any problem when we get a swift kick in the ass to get us working on it.

[@rodneycarvalho6052]

We are all immortal spirits and as such, we will live for ever; but not within a body, but free from it. I wouldn't like to live for ever in the flesh and confined to a body made of flesh and bones.

[@rodneycarvalho6052]

***** You are still too young to understand that concept, eventually you will be able to see it. God bless you.

[@rodneycarvalho6052]

A spirit is a non matter, no form, but pure energy, emaneted from the Divine, out of love, created simple and ignorant, with endless oportunity to exist for ever, it will never die, it has no sex, it only can evolve, learn and grow, when it is incarnated in a physical organic body, if it chooses not to incarnate, it will not learn and become what it is meant to be; a divine being like its creator. As evolution takes its course in the universe, the same way is our spirit. It is it that actually gives the body its life with function and not simple electricity runing in our brains. Remember, the Creator of this whole universe, also created Spiritual, Moral, Physical and Moral Laws; if we break one of them, we will have to return (reincarnation) to earth to expiate our errs. The Creator is all LOVE. If you wish to learn more, get the Spirits Book by Allan Kardec

[@rodneycarvalho6052]

My Spirit was created from a Particle of the Divine's own Spirit, as anyone else's were; the ones you are referring to are detectable energies from a 3 or more dimensional universe or universes. Some argue that we are billions of years old, and that we have lived in other solar systems or galaxies before, and that the Spirituality or Guide Spirits/Entities or God, whatever way one wants to call IT?? That this whole thing was engineered by a superior Force. Since at the present moment we can not understand and grasp it in its entire infinity. It was given to us another opportunity of a life time, to make it right, to grow and evolve as Spiritual Beings in the Agape Love, as we are meant to be; anything else out of Love brings suffering. I am not sure if I answered your question.

[@rodneycarvalho6052]

***** I am not an expert on this subject, in fact I am very new on this. As I mentioned before about Allan kardec books (19th C French Scientist and French language pedagogical expert, lived in Paris), if you look him up you will come across several books written by him (some are fully translated from the original French language to Portuguese/English/Spanish/German and other languages), he is considered the Spiritualist Teaching Codifier. Also, several books have been psycho-graphically-written by mediums all over the world, specifically in Brazil. To explain exactly how sometime we have this "Knowledge", I would have to open up my life as a book on this platform, and I don't want to do that. I would like to say that I do believe in science, but I strongly believe that there are a spiritual world out there or in here right now, beyond science, eventually Quantum-physics will explain Spirituality.

[@rodneycarvalho6052]

I am talking about medium-ship with all their abilities. Scientists are not looking into that. They would have to transcend science. I am talking about spiritual things that can only be understood spiritually. You are trying to rationalize what is spiritual with science. That is why I suggested you to read about it in those books. No one can define this subject in few words in a blog like this one. To have knowledge is to read and to be able to read things between the lines by opening our minds to what Spirituality is trying to show us. I've had experiences with what is Spiritual for many years, in fact, I was born in a environment where mostly people believe in it. As i said, I am not an expert, I am a student, but I can not deny the Spiritual Realm, at this point in my life it is impossible.

[@joelleenbeanks3767]

Professor Aubry the Great to me . I am aging biologishan which just watching aging crippled population. Why so much ignorance about aging we need to bring life to medicine. Now it is all about death, waiting for it. I cannot accept it.To preserve life we need lots of new antioxidants and telomerase slowing down. Mollecular cellular. Molecullar is much more difficult. Stem cells. For parkinsons Neurotop and Ketrel. Cheeper than stem cells.I had noticed that you have got the circles under eus, check the liver and iron.

[@kurniawanfandywijaya3760]

Omg this is awesome nice Work

[@jxguy]

Thinking aloud! Just my common sense. If repairing or replacing is a permanent solution, we should not hear the transplanted organ start to fail after sometime, just like the original organ. We seems to be very good at identifying problems associated with aging. The very first question I asked why these problems occurred, what caused these problems? It is because of aging? Even we found a way to replace this or repair that in our body, we keep seeing it happen again and again the replacement part take the same course and fail again, The repaired organ or whatever start to show sign of similar deterioration. The conditions have not changed so the patient who received these treatment is going to take this new foreign part or organ through the same conditions. The condition that caused these problem must first be identified. If we can remove the unfavorable conditions, then monitor again if the body continue to age by checking for things to fail. Sometime we don't need to be medically trained to monitor. Our life experience and our eyes can see how the subject (aged patient) are doing, when the conditions (that caused those aged related problem) is removed or changed or educate the patient to avoid anything that could create those unfavorable conditions. I have heard that we are given everything we need to protect ourselves from anything that could harm us. But we have stop believing that, else we don't need doctors and drugs, which btw unable to stop anything bad happening to our body, they just standby to repair and replace what went wrong in our body. Our body seems fragile and weak, when we see time and time again how each one of us aged, become ill and died. I am not expert in TCM (traditional Chinese medicine), but I heard the objective of TCM treatment is not about the problem, but what caused the problem. The prescription of all natural herbs are simply to balance the body condition. TCM physician know, what is the right conditions the body should be in where the body require no outside assistance to repair itself. They try to do that and the patient sickness will miraculously go away. But they have not look at aging else China will be full of non-ageable beings. Religion already spill the bean on how to resolve this problem, but such info subtly disseminated among religion leaders. If they want followers then they have to allow or not change the followers reason for coming back to the religion house to worship the religion. We are all born sinners, that statement sum up this very obvious reason, else the house of religion will be empty and tidings are from followers not drop from heaven. I don't have to elaborate further why the secret is still not out yet. The condition is created first in the mind, by the knowing who we really are, and believe that's what we are. That knowledge will put your mind at ease first, worrying and stress will be gone, since you know what are you and nothing outside is going to change or harm you. Then in that relax comfortable conditions the body need no drug or medication, it will kick into auto repair mode. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the knowledge hidden below can only be revealed, when the tip of the "what we are" learned, knew and received with full comprehension. Then you will be seeking or at least ready to receive the remaining truth, knowing, knowledge which is always there only waiting for you to discover it. Frankly there is no right or wrong, it is the wrong in where we are heading or what we are doing, we learned and realised done wrongly and heading the wrong direction. Realising that simply raise the next logical question where is the right way and what is the right thing to do. If we never realised we heading the wrong way is there a right way, so learning we are heading the wrong way is precedent, prior to our discovery of the right way. Anyway what you need to know is already inside all of us, seek and you shall find, ask and the answer shall come, only when you really know that you deserve to know. When the answer is the truth, you will know, as every cell in your body will vibrate in resonance to acknowledge what you received. I am not in anyway religion, first I came to know who I am, then the rest is just a series of asking and seeking. Thanks to youtube, hasten the coming of answers. Since I totally open and want to know, the answers must come, in fact they are all waiting at the doors. When I am open, it just slip right in, out of nowhere, from the most unexpected situation. Those situation (not thinking much, performing some routine stuff, or enjoying my favourite music from youtube or videos or sleeping soundly), are situations of least resistance and maximum allowing mode, then what is waiting at the door will just slip in, When we try to use the old knowing and try to reason to get the answer, save your brain power, the answers are lock out. EUREKA, is when you feel extremely overjoyed, the feeling when all your cells in your body agree thats the answer, and you seems to know it but why you did get it then. Frankly I got to relearned and drop many useless knowledge, in order to create space in my mind or brain to store or flood the remaining knowing, which came after each question and seeking. Sorry to bored everyone with my ranting, it just keep coming as I type. However this message might be the answer to some of your questions. When I type with little thinking, I know it is the message for the one seeking and asking.

Think about it; from age 50 or so you start getting sick & everything will chronically hurt no sleep at night every night with brain damage as consequence. You simply get no rest even at night... Then you miserably get to age 80 & then you have 40% chance of getting dementia.. Life is truly about survival & old age takes up a big part of life.

[@armagananteplioglu9031]

Can we please not get ahead of ourselves? The talk was about increasing longevity through maintaining the body. Grey himself doesnt say at the end of this process people will be immortal. In fact, he was talking about how this kind of approach against age-related health issues are getting more effective, better, wide spread etc. Most times, passing time in science, while brings new oppurtunities and benefits, brings also new problems. We just dont know how it will go down and everybody talking about immortality. These efforts will extend human life significantly on the long run, in the same way antibiotics extended average life expectancy. But even in our wildest dreams there will be disintegration, decay and death for all things when we compare anything with "eternity".
