More About Me

I'm passionate about

I think of everything as information. Random copying errors interacting in to this amazing creativity. Our cause and effect universe of infinite possibilities.

An idea worth spreading

It is a quantum reality for you and me, our future can be anything we want it to be.

Talk to me about

CERN. aging, quantum computation.

People don't know that I'm good at

I have an instinct for the truth.

• A reply on Talk: Nathan Wolfe's jungle search for viruses

  Dec 14 2012: We should think of evolution as war where the only weapons available are genetic variation and strategic alliances with other species. Life is a predator-prey arms race in endless competition to survive. Our species has partly solved this problem by creating many strategic alliances with other species, including with our prey (farming). We must be vigilant, and moderate our behavior, until we can put ourselves beyond these attacks from other species which includes viruses and bacteria.

• A comment on Talk: Bart Knols: Cheese, dogs and a pill to kill mosquitoes and end malaria

  May 16 2012: If you poison the food supply, then the mosquito's that feed on humans would die, and therefore evolution would create mosquito's that did not feed on humans.

  A comment on Talk: Cynthia Kenyon: Experiments that hint of longer lives

  Dec 1 2011: We should be putting a lot more money into aging research. With this, and the SENS research, it shows that aging can be stopped, slowed, and reversed.

  A comment on Conversation: Why evolution could never solve aging?

  Dec 1 2011: Species are locked into a predator-prey arms race, so the survival strategy would be genetic variation within the species, and strategic alliances with other species. Living for a long time would be like standing still in the middle of a battlefield. In our species we are no longer fully part of this predator-prey arms race, so we see our lifespan increase. Those living to 100+ can be sequenced and their genetic information can be used to increase the lifespan of our species.

• A comment on Talk: Jessica Green: Are we filtering the wrong microbes?

  Aug 4 2011: It should be made compulsory for all new buildings to incorporate ventilation systems linked to heat ex changers.

• A comment on Talk: David Agus: A new strategy in the war on cancer

  Feb 9 2010: Cancer is a disease of aging so we need to sequence those people who have reached the age of eighty so we can understand what has protected them from cancer. I believe we should be treating the cause (aging) not the effect (diseases of aging).

• A comment on Talk: Dan Buettner: How to live to be 100+

  Jan 12 2010: All the research suggests that it is easier to reverse aging than to slow aging. A brisk thirty minute walk five times a week probably strengthens the immune system, so at the moment this is the best tool we have to combat aging.

  A comment on Talk: Gordon Brown: Wiring a web for global good

  Nov 15 2009: If you give everyone in the world a mobile phone, and a computer with a free broadband connection, then you empower them,"knowledge is power". With these tools you do not need the USA and UK to get rid of your psychopathic leaders, you can do it yourselves.

• A comment on Talk: Richard Dawkins: Why the universe seems so strange

  Nov 8 2009: I like the idea of a multiverse where we can engineer an asymmetrical collapse at the "omega point" and resurrect everything that has ever lived. The problem is if we exist as multiple copies, and therefore experience infinite possible lives, then in which one would we choose to be resurrected?
