Ok Now This Is Just Comical... (vid)

Just watched this. Apparently the guy is 50.

Just goes to show what a few lines of code in your genes can do. Everyone in the comments is cluelessly talking about his "healthy lifestyle" of course, because people will defend their "faulty" genes to death (props to him for lifting properly tho).
Really makes you think huh? The technology to create humans like this and beyond can be implemented within this century.. damn...

A mixed results of good genes and environmental factors, now to determine which one is the most prevalent is gonna be harsh.
This guy lived a monk life all his youth, good regular sleep, exercise, eat healthy, no alcohol, no drugs, avoid sun, prob cosmetics too.

There was a genome study nearly 10 years ago where they found a gene they called 'Peter Pan', that perhaps explains why some look younger than their contemporaries, that's the only thing they found about DNA related aging.

Within this century is really optimistic...

Lots of people do that and don't look like this.. I'd say at least 90% of it is genes.

You think? I'd wager we'll see something by 2050. Or not. Maybe I'll dm you in 33 years

BTW you've heard of the nmn pill from Harvard right? Not genetic engineering per se but it's 5-10 extra years (functional not cosmetic unless maybe you start young) in the bag. On human trials right now, costs a few thousand a day for now but I can see us using it in a few years

Also I'm personally really curious what quantum computing can do for simulations in biology, if we can simulate everything in a cell and eventually an organ testing on the fly how gene manipulation impacts the organ becomes a breeze. Would really speed up research.

NMN β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, yeah i've heard of it
Boosting telomerase DNA activity to fight aging is debunked in many articles aswell, no real consensus on that approach

Only potential proof of it is those tibetan monks, they observed longer telomeres in their DNA, suggesting that environemental factors played a huge role in their longer lifetime
Stressfree life, meditation and raw vegetable food

Perhaps inconclusive, but I wouldn't say debunked. Only product I've heard of that has been scientifically researched is TA-65. You can check some of the research by Bill Andrews, Ph.D. But the God Almighty of aging is a roll of the dice in the genetics. Still.

"As disordered telomerase function is a feature of almost all cancers, there is an unproven, but theoretical risk of oncogene-mediated cancer promotion through the use of telomerase activators."

That's the biggest problem with this pathway, and unfortunately, shortened telomores are not the only damages aging is doing

NASA is also interested in boosting NAD+, to allow a possible journey to Mars without being prone to severe radiation poisoning during it

Yes, quantum computing will help medical science but not in the near future years, problem is, they still got to stabilize their quantum CPU and then they can begin to experiment Quantum Learning Machine by flooding it with biometrics datas from several human bodies through their entire life, if can't gather data from an entire human lifespan, i doubt you can calculate all the biological outcomes of aging

Correct me if I'm wrong, but nmn/nad just stops a protein that blocks DNA repair.. it doesn't have to do with telomeres.
But just to be clear, I was referring to people born through genetic engineering in my first post, I don't expect drugs/crispr to turn me into that guy.
Tho it makes me all the more interested in Asian chicks.

True, they're not there yet. But why would you want to run it as a deep learning machine when you can run a physics simulation of the cell? By treating it as a deterministic stochastic process. Then you can run many simulations at once and see its different fates. So that you don't need external data.

I don't know for sure, but something to do with interactions during mythochondries and telomerase activity.

"At Harvard, they bred genetically manipulated mice that lacked an enzyme called telomerase that stops telomeres getting shorter. Without the enzyme, the mice aged prematurely and suffered ailments, including a poor sense of smell, smaller brain size, infertility and damaged intestines and spleens. But when DePinho gave the mice injections to reactivate the enzyme, it repaired the damaged tissues and reversed the signs of ageing."

"The key question is what might this mean for human therapies against age-related diseases? While there is some evidence that telomere erosion contributes to age-associated human pathology, it is surely not the only, or even dominant, cause, as it appears to be in mice engineered to lack telomerase. Furthermore, there is the ever-present anxiety that telomerase reactivation is a hallmark of most human cancers."

I don't know, how could you recreate such a simulation without hundreds of thousands factors linked to the whole body and his cells interactions, i don't know if those simulations would be accurate

Recalling all the time I spent surfing on SoCal beaches, using sun lamps to treat teenage acne, working in a factory with boiling toluene, it's a miracle my face isn't burned off, let alone look like that. Lesson: Life will eventually kill you.

A friend of mine is head developer person at Pinterest and modestly boasts he has a 'top 50 job in silicon valley'. He say's many (but many I'm talking much higher than the average) people there are obsessed with Anti-ageing and believe they can find immortality, he reckons billions behind the scenes are being invested in this. Whether it's keeping the body young or transferring your consciousness onto a chip or something I have absolutely no idea.

Well there's no law of physics that prohibits biological immortality - you still die eventually, I remember a Reddit thread that tried to calculate the max age an immortal person can reach before having a deadly accident. It was about a few centuries.
The mind uploading thingy is another Pandora's box..
