“There are no right answers to wrong questions.”–Ursula K. Le Guin

I only ever read a single Ursula Le Guin book. But it was the only one I ever really needed. The Lathe of Heaven remains–now and forever–my favorite Science Fiction novel of all time. It is must reading for anyone seriously interested in how things interact in our complex world, and what that might mean for our future. Systems thinking, unintended consequences, and “think globally, act locally,” resound as themes throughout. Read it.
One man who agrees wholeheartedly with Gregory Benford is Aubrey de Grey. He’s the author of Ending Aging, and chief science officer of the SENS Foundation, a 501-(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to researching the reversal of human aging. His approach focuses on 7 areas of cellular and molecular damage, the repair of which he believes are be the keys to effective rejuvenation therapy. He joins me in this episode of Seeking Delphi™ for a lively discussion on the present state of the anti-aging art.
