Shear Modulus posted:They've been convinced of that for a long time. It was at the core of the Singularity cult. Ray Kurzweil became a silicon valley guru and hugely influential public intellectual because he was telling everyone that aging would be solved in a couple decades, so if you live until then you'll be able to live forever and/or upload your brain to a computer. He was literally saying that in Time magazine. same old poo poo rich powerful people have been doing since the dawn of class inequality maybe Bezos can try drinking mercury for longevity?

It’s actually much more reasonable to believe we’ll be able to give people anti-aging gene therapy than upload them to computers.

I get all the Singularity stuff and it's just absolutely bonkers but it seems that with the advent of technologies like CRISPR (developed at Harvard by Epstein-funded scientist George Church) they have pivoted hard to "gene editing" instead, this could explain why DARPA, Bill Gates, etc, are going in hard for companies like Moderna:quote:We finally know who Moderna has been courting behind the scenes to make the big jump into gene editing. The famed biotech has signed a research partnership with CRISPR gene editing company Metagenomi. quote:Metagenomi, Inc., a genetic medicines company with a versatile portfolio of next-generation gene editing tools, and Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA), a biotechnology company pioneering messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines, today announced that the two companies have entered into a strategic research and development collaboration focused on advancing new gene editing systems for in vivo human therapeutic applications. The collaboration will utilize Metagenomi’s novel gene editing tools and leverage Moderna’s mRNA platform, as well as lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery technologies, with the goal of developing curative therapies for patients with serious genetic diseases. I think nowadays "ageing" is seen as just a genetic disease like any other, so if you can use CRISPR or whatever to do some "gene therapy" then you can effectively stop ageing, and potentially live forever. I think these people really believe this and they're desperate to get their hands on the elixir of life

they absolutely really believe they're going to crispr their telomeres to functional immortality, if they can just hang on until the technological singularity. in practice that just means they are exercising and eating a lot of weird supplements.

Isaac Newton was doing a shitload of alchemy alongside the normal science and math we know him for, and the only reason it isn't more widely known is that his heirs (unsuccessfully) tried to destroy evidence of his alchemical work, but we gloss over all that when we learn about him in school as the Father of Science and Mathematics.

funny excerpt from newton's wikipedia pagequote:In June 2020, two unpublished pages of Newton's notes on Jan Baptist van Helmont's book on plague, De Peste,[153] were being auctioned online by Bonhams. Newton's analysis of this book, which he made in Cambridge while protecting himself from London's 1665–1666 infection, is the most substantial written statement he is known to have made about the plague, according to Bonhams. As far as the therapy is concerned, Newton writes that "the best is a toad suspended by the legs in a chimney for three days, which at last vomited up earth with various insects in it, on to a dish of yellow wax, and shortly after died. Combining powdered toad with the excretions and serum made into lozenges and worn about the affected area drove away the contagion and drew out the poison".[154]
