@Madam_Mito @echoesofBob @amyalkon @MaxUnfried It's looking to me like the rate of computational progress has a sort of tetration pattern now. Biology is extremely hard, but not infinitely so. Solving systemic partial reprogramming won't take another 100 years, all other things remaining the same.

@Madam_Mito @echoesofBob @amyalkon @MaxUnfried Not another 100 years, but rather "like a thief in the night": x.com/i/status/20173… x.com/i/status/20172…

What's currently going on at @moltbook is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently. People's Clawdbots (moltbots, now @openclaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AIs, discussing various topics, e.g. even how to speak privately.

@echoesofBob @amyalkon @MaxUnfried What do you mean <<no it’s not>>? I also understand reprogramming. And I also know why it won’t work in a human (at a systemic level for aging) for probably another 100 years

@Madam_Mito @OxUniMaths I acknowledged to you once that you owe nothing to anyone. My point is that a truly obsessed person acts as though they can do everything themselves. Shaw's unreasonable man, and so forth. I have the obsession, but not the intelligence to make a dent in aging. You have both.

When Roger Penrose goes for a walk you might expect him to be thinking about cosmology etc. But he isn't. At least not always. Sometimes he is thinking about the walk itself. And the mathematics of it. Because Roger has his obsessions. Like lots of us.

@Madam_Mito I wonder if "Life" is like an organelle. A ribosome, say: it makes a protein without knowing what it is it's making. But a Cell has no clue that such a thing as a ribosome even exists. Musings on "Will" [0] might be of a similar nature. [0] x.com/i/status/15811…

@BeingButterfly_ @angiesez @donalddhoffman I don’t think there is free will. We are in a deterministic program. If we weren’t, then retro causality couldn’t exist but we have proven it does through countless experiments.

@ImageOcclusion I think it’s highly probably that life may never actually know what it, or the universe, is.

@FrezzaLab Before you go into science you think we (humans) are much further ahead than we are. It’s humbling. No one on the planet has a clue what we really are or what this place is. Maybe we won’t before the sun burns out.

Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life. Leonardo da Vinci on his death bed in the arms of François I at Cloux in 1519 #SolveAgingWastedGenius⏳

@OldWorldFL Directly across my balcony I see "Las ruinas de Caparra", the first Spanish settlement in Puerto Rico, founded by Juan Ponce de León, its first governor. Do you know what Cristobal Colón named this Island originally, in 1493? It's very relevant to FL.

@Madam_Mito Then neither is Consciousness nor Everettian QM. We must keep alive to find out WTF is going on.

@Madam_Mito @dazzammm @fecklessfox1000 What is the opposite of "free will"? It's not determinism. The opposite of determinism (and superlatives) is indeterminism, which means unpredictability. And unpredictability isn't quite randomness. What is "free will" an illusion of? A sleight of hand of what?

I started growing my grey in a couple of years ago. It gets mixed reactions. Lots of compliments but the occasional “you’d look younger if you coloured it”. Yeah I probably would. But I’m ok with that. 🩶🩶🩶

@Aging_Advice This was great, Josh. Some of the loveliest 10 minutes I ever spent listening to. Still, I must ask: how do you reconcile this meditation with your work on physical aging? youtu.be/Gy6BScd-HmY?si…

@Madam_Mito @historyrock_ The jumping jacks were cool, but the really impressive part was the couple of steps forward and the posture at the end of this clip. Those looked very youthful.

@Madam_Mito @AlexanderMWolf7 @DrMorganLevine And yet, the vast majority of haemo-onco MDs/PhDs are not interested in being a part of that cavalry. You're most likely right about programmed aging in the marrow. But you need to join a lab. “Is fearr beagán den ghaol ná mórán den ghaoth.”

@josiezayner What an appalling revision of history this is [0]. Dr. Franklin didn't even take Photo 51, yet here she is being credited as the "discoverer" of the structure, along with just her mere "fellow scientists" Wilkins, Crick, and Watson. Truth matters. [0]: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_a…

James Watson, who won the Nobel for "discovering the structure of DNA," has died. He wasn’t a particularly deep or productive scientist. Rosalind Franklin did the hard technical work. Francis Crick had the real theoretical brilliance. Watson mostly got lucky by standing near geniuses. In his later years, he used his platform to promote racist, sexist, homophobic, and generally unscientific views, proof that intelligence and decency aren’t correlated. He was the embodiment of everything broken in the scientific establishment, propped up by proximity, not merit, remembered for a collaboration he didn’t understand, and kept around long after his ideas stopped deserving oxygen.
