“I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured.”
― Tom Robbins
Being in the category that society generally classifies as “old people,” I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry when I look at the cartoon to the left. But if the science progresses fast enough, and I live long enough, maybe I’ll see the day when I can just ignore it. As the increasingly global movement to reverse human aging gains momentum, we might see the day when everyone works like they are in their 20’s, no matter how old they are. In this special edition podcast Aubrey de Grey returns to Seeking Delphi™ to preview the 2019 Undoing Aging conference, to be held in Berlin, Germany, March 28-30. Aubrey previously was on Seeking Delphi™ in December of 2017, episode #19.

“When angry count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred.”–Thomas Jefferson
“If you live to one hundred, you’ve got it made. Very few people die past that age.”–George Burns
Wow. It only took me six years and two months to count to 100. Just think, in dog years, this blog is middle-aged.
I'm not the most interesting man in the world, but I might have the most cluttered mind.
