What is the relationship between anti-aging and the reduction of suffering? What are some common objections to the ideas of solving aging? How does Anti-Aging stack up against other cause areas (like climate change, or curing specific diseases)? How can we better convince people of the virtues of undoing the diseases of old age? Keith…
Future Day is nigh – sporting a spectacular line of speakers! Agenda Venue: KPMG Melbourne – 727 Collins St [map link] – Collins Square – Level 36 Room 2 – Drew Berry – Biomedical Animator @ The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research – – Brock Bastian – Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences…
Aging is a technical problem with a technical solution – finding the solution requires clear thinking and focused effort. Once solving aging becomes demonstrably feasible, it is likely attitudes will shift regarding its desirability. There is huge potential, for individuals and for society, in reducing suffering through the use of rejuvenation therapy to achieve new…
Why is aging research important? Biological aging causes suffering, however in recent times there as been surprising progress in stem cell research and in regenerative medicine that will likely disrupt the way we think about aging, and in the longer term, substantially mitigate some of the suffering involved in growing old. Aubrey de Grey is…
Oisín Biotechnologies ground-breaking research and technology is demonstrating that the solution to mitigating the effects of age-related diseases is to address the damage created by the aging process itself. We have recently successfully launched our first subsidiary, Oisin Oncology, focusing in combating multiple cancers. Interview with Stephen Hilbert We cover the exciting scientific progress at…
Two of the world’s leading brain researchers will come together to discuss some of the latest international efforts to understand the brain. They will discuss two massive initiatives – the US based Allen Institute for Brain Science and European Human Brain Project. By combining neuroscience with the power of computing both projects are harnessing the…
Dr Randal Koene covers the motivation for human technological augmentation and reasons to go beyond biological life extension. Competition is an inescapable occurrence in the animate and even in the inanimate universe. To give our minds the flexibility to transfer and to operate in different substrates bestows upon our species the most important competitive advantage.”…
Is the Hedonistic Imperative equivalent to wire-heading? People are often concerned about the future being a cyber-puink dystopia where people are hard wired into pleasure centers like smacked out like lotus eating milk-sops devoid of meaningful existence. Does David Pearce’s Hedonistic Imperative entail a future where we are all in thrall to permanent experiential orgasms…
Bill discusses the groundbreaking science of ‘telomere biology’ – Bill sees this as the first and only emergent technology that holds the promise of treating and reversing age-related diseases, including aging itself. The Book ‘Curing Aging’ can be found on Amazon “Topics discussed include the biological basis for the human aging process, the basic science…
Science, Technology & the Future interviews Dr. Michio Kaku on Artificial Intelligence and the Singularity, Biotech and Nanotechnology What is it that is driving this revolution? How do you think your background in Theoretical Physics shape your view on the future of the mind? Intelligence enhancement, Internet of the mind – brain-net, like a hive…
