Ok, then it is imperative to stay alive.

No serious person talks about «living forever». We’re talking about stopping/reversing human physiological deterioration. If you‘re 50 like Elon you are a decade away from total «self-destruction mode». DSTM.

What's the point really being on Mars while aging (your own system basically killing you after your ~20’s)? You might as well be self-destructing here on earth? #WhereverYouGoThereYouAre mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/…

I’m sure. I know it. ~Nothing in rodents will translate and will often have opposite effects. Every serious/experienced pharma R&D person knows this. mobile.twitter.com/JuliaB_fi…

And I have seen a lot of wealthy guys (including my own family)(complete workaholics) and none of them got older than early 70’s😰 Their wealth and drive couldn’t help them with health/aging.

And a friend of mine made a salient point: «It won’t be easy to replace Elon! Only an handful of such individuals in a century.» Elon is 50 now. It basically statistically means ~10k days left without science-based aging intervention (that ideally should start at age ~30).

Elon seems to be a pretty fluid guy and what could be more important than scientific anti-aging? Everything else is rather trivial really: )

I can assure you that a lot of stuff is going on globally here that few people know.

No, here we’re allegedly talking about a «full-stack» anti-aging co (not limited to reprogramming)🚀

It’s a rumor but someone has to hear about it early, OMG how I hope this will happen!!🚀

Seems really unlikely given that he’s repeatedly expressed a lack of interest in longevity research. Although apparently he’s meeting with Larry Ellison again today which is curious. We still don’t know what they’ve been talking about.

The more effort in the fight against aging, the better! #CrushAging

I also doubt reprogramming compounds that may work to some extent in rodents will work in humans, seriously doubt things like Recombinant IL-6, Forskolin etc will have rejuvenating effects in vivo in humans.

Someone asked me «How do you think Altos may NOT succeed?» My answer: If there's a lack of systems thinking and total integration with real-life human biology and if human translation isn’t kept top of mind at all times.

Calico Labs’ Kimmel, as well as other startups, including @AltosLabs, Shift, @RetroBiotech, YouthBio Therapeutics and AgeX (initially a subsidiary of Michael West’s BioTime), are likewise investigating the rejuvenative potential of partial reprogramming
