A Blog of the Ridiculous and Sublime, by Mark Sackler
“One human data is worth a billion mice.”–Bioviva CEO, Elizabeth Parrish**
So what about goldfish data? And don’t even ask about the mice’s point of view on human data. All they care about is the cheese.
**Don’t look for this quote anywhere else on the internet–yet. It comes directly from my interview with Parrish that will air on the next Seeking Delphi™ podcast, and appear in the March issue of Age of Robots.
Another highlight from my Seeking Delphi blog and podcast. You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or YouTube or listen via the audio file embedded in each accompanying web page.
“Whatever good things we build end up building us.”– Jim Rohn
I can’t say for sure if the quote above was intended literally, but it is now becoming literally true. The applications of additive manufacturing–better known as 3D printing–are expanding to include food, body parts, cars, and even entire buildings. In this episode of the Seeking Delphi™ podcast, I talk with one of the gurus of this technology, Dr. Paul Tinari, of JOOM3D.com . He’s working on a project the scope of which would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.

“It was a great success, but even great successes come to a natural end.”–Isaac Asimov, Robots and Empire
Ah. Everything meets its demise. But an increasing number of researchers, in an increasingly visible corner of biotech research, have other ideas. In my first podcast, available on my other, more serious blog, I discuss the prospects for radical increases in human longevity with author David Wood. His 2016 book, The Abolition of Aging, is a thorough study of the present state of anti-aging research and the many related issues. Don’t die yet; if you do, you won’t live to regret it.

I'm not the most interesting man in the world, but I might have the most cluttered mind.
