- In this extended interview, Director Brett Ryan Bonowicz interviews Aubrey de Grey and they discuss the Closer Than We Think prediction Rebuilding People.
Arthur Radebaugh's Closer Than We Think was a Sunday comic strip from 1958-1963, making predictions of tomorrow's world.
The award winning documentary is available for rent/purchase on vimeo and is available to stream on Amazon Prime in the US & UK. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
This has to start to become an actual issue in public perception. Maybe if celebrities and the media pay attention to longevity science it will be pushed further towards being mainstream.
I agree with your premise, but until such time as age reversal is objectively and undeniably demonstrated in humans on a large and diverse scale, the media and quite frankly society at large will remain skeptical, if not totally oblivious.....and understandably so. Experimenting on worms, mice and dogs and showing extraordinary results is all well and good, but it is becoming increasing clear that there almost certainly will not be any level of plasticity in humans with these treatments, at least not for quite a number of years. I have an element of faith in exponential AI speeding up the R&D process over the next 5-10 years, but even then I'm not overly optimistic that these therapies will ever be comprehensive or effective enough in my lifetime (I'm almost 34) to reverse aging to any significant degree. As someone who has followed this science religiously for nearly a decade, I am astonished at how slowly this field is developing - there still isn't even a conscensus within the longevity science community on what causes the diseases of aging in the first place, much less an agreement on how to proceed.
@@johnniejay Not true they did a Lot the last decade stemmcell Therapie is extremely important and is unser way to becoming widespread and used all over the body + one breakthrough Like the one from David Sinclairs lab recently is enough for one decade. I dont think AI will Play as much of an Important role as you might want it too.
@@christophsteck531 I will agree that stem cell therapy is probably the first major step towards the endgame (you could also make strong arguments for CRISPR and Senolytics), but getting FDA / regulatory approval in this area is 5-10 years away at least. Most stem cell therapy clinics are currently situated in developing countries for wealthy health tourists.
AI should have a profound effect on the expediting of biotech development. Every notable figure in the field agrees with this as well. I personally dont believe that there can ever be 'enough (advancement) for one decade', but thats just me.
@@johnniejay If you've watched more of his other interviews or talks, you'll have probably seen him speak about Longevity Escape Velocity (L.E.V). It's unlikely there'll be a comprehensive cure to aging any time soon, but there may be something that could for example, give us 10 years, which may buy you enough time for more effective therapies to come along, which will also buy you more time, etc, so these early therapies may mean a lot when it comes to making the cut for L.E.V. Also, if you are 34 now, that means you have about 60 years of progress to look forward to. That is not something to be underestimated. Think where we were in 1960. Or, that in the 1920s it was considered science fiction to think we'd be able to get to the moon, and we did it only ~40 years later.
I understand your pessimism for public (and government) acceptance too, but once it starts, it will snowball.
@@Ash-vt5cp LEV (the concept of which I am well aware) is obviously more realistic than a magic bullet cure all, and certainly where I have my faith.
I'm a 20 year old male. Aubrey has given me the inspiration and impetus to get rich and contribute shit ton of money to SENS foundation.
Don’t forget the good folks at Clindar!
Me too
We are living in a world where people need to be convinced ending aging is the best thing that can happen to humanity.Most people are still dumb . Why dont we have leaders like Aubrey ? Politicians ? Good for nothing people.
We need to start giving this man a billion+ in funding - 4 million WTF
I know right! But for this to happen, Aubrey de Gray needs more exposure. As the guy(azuur asmr) from the first comment said we need the celebrities and media attention, that way it will reach the masses and will most certainly create a chain reaction.
I give him money every month
US spends 700 billion on warfare annually. Great indication how stupid people are. Time to elect scientists for leaders.
A lot of the companies around him, using his methods, are getting mega funding. It's just unfortunate and bizarre that the company that started it all isn't. The NIH even uses his model of aging as its definition now lol
@@squamish4244 knno LP
Please sir. Aubrey, save us, save the world.
People love live
Donate to SENS :)
@@Botanifiles I will go.
donate too and share :)
We’ll also accept donations 😎
@@conversascontroversas7384 I've been donating monthly for the last few years, no plan on stopping. It's an investment in our futures. I figure I don't want to look back a few decades from now realizing I could have influenced the scientific research to produce significant results sooner.
I agree with you and I will do the same.
do you think there is hope that we will reach the exhaust speed soon?
De Gray said that anyone who is 40 has a great chance of succeeding.
but will it be only for the rich?
Sería muy beneficioso que estos videos estuviesen subtitulados al español y algún idioma mas, para llegar al máximo de personas posibles.
Ok desde yo conozco ingle yo voy a traduccir algo que te dice. ok It would be very beneficial that these videos would be subtitled to spanish and some language more, to arrive to the maximum of people possible
Y si tu comprarias el pc tu tenias los subtitutados en español
@@viktorludmila Empieza! Yaa!
Immortality is on our doorstep
Elon musk get in this beard!
🤣🤣🤣
Aubrey is my father.
You must be very proud!
@@Clindar i am.
@@sumtingwong66 Ashutosh, I am your father.
To think there is a timeline where Aubrey stayed a computer scientist and never dedicated himself to aging.
Let's be grateful we don't live there.
And lets do all we can to help him. Spread the word about this subject, more awareness is needed. Also donate to SENS or other related institution if you can !
These questions concerning "what if a Supreme Court Justice is immortal?" are so far down the line, that they are ridiculous. If the technologies he's talking about can extend our lives and better the quality of life for people for a solid 3-5 years, it will be amazing. If this research does the same for a 5-10 years, then wow! Immortality is really, really far in the horizon, and it may be completely and totally impossible, so let's focus on what he's talking about: allowing people to live longer and better lives.
That is certainly a very realistic goal with huge implications in itself. People miss what an impact 'average' has on a whole population. The book 'The Longevity Dividend', which you have probably heard of/read, claims that just seven years of increased health on average has saved trillions of dollars and massively increased GDP in the developed world, and has been responsible for the greatly increased vigour of middle-aged and old people in the last century.
I am a historian and in past centuries, people often lived as long as today. What is almost always overlooked by longevity advocates, however, is that the condition that people live in now until their 70s or 80s is WAY higher than it used to be except for the healthiest people. People dragged themselves through their 40s, 50s and 60s with chronic illnesses, pain and exhaustion and suffered in ways that a homeless person wouldn't suffer now.
40-50years? He said like 17years in 2007 🙄
You can’t rush science 🧪
@@Clindar it's more like moving the goalposts. It'll be 100 years when Interviewed in 2 years.
LEV will be like 10 years from now. Aubrey isn't the only one working on this. His timeframe is way way too conservative for the current pace of biotechnology.
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta yes very. Look at rejuvenation roadmap and Senolytics. A couple of times he's even said people think he's being conservative with his estimates. It is ironic he doesn't see the pace of change from exponential since he is from a computer scientist background.
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta you won't need trials with computer simulations and genetic sequencing.
Man this dude does not look his age.
What age is he??
@@seanquirke620 57 or 58
He looks so old for his age... "anti-age"
He's a heavy drinker. Kind of a strange guy to be a longevity advocate but no doubting his brilliance.
Because he comes at it from a different perspective. Sinclair etc talk about actions to extend both health span and life span whereas DeGrey has already stated that he does nothing along those lines as his idea is age and age related damage reversal.
@@alkeegan9915 Aubrey is betting that his approach or someone's approach will work before he croaks. He's 58 so he probably figures ~20 more years... But the booze isn't helping his chances.
He's not selling or promoting existing products or therapies, but is trying to kickstart a new industry. To that end he's been hard at work for decades, even sacrificing some health in the process. He's said he sleeps too little in order to work, and he's perfectly aware that that's unhealthy and ages people faster, but in his judgement it's worth it if he can bring about treatments earlier. All that said, he's thin, while a lot of old men have a pot belly (which is very unhealhy).
