The Top 3 Supplements for Surviving the Singularity
Inventor, Author, Futurist
If you can survive for 34 more years, you have a good shot at living forever, says futurist Ray Kurzweil. Here are his three favorite dietary supplements that will make sure he's around for the singularity.
Ray Kurzweil: I take 150 pills, which is maybe 70 or 80 different things; there's a different story with each one. Although people find that a very aggressive program, it's actually very conservative, because everything I do actually has a lot of evidence. Aging's not one thing; it's many different things.
1) Coenzyme Q10 is very important, particularly at my age, as an antioxidant.
2) Phosphatidylcholine addresses all by itself a major aging process because that substance depletes from your cell membrane and that's why the skin in an elderly person loses suppleness and your organs don't work very well.
3) I'd throw in Vitamin D. It's very important—maybe the most important vitamin to take. There's tremendous amount of research and a consensus that that really does help prevent cancer and other diseases.
You know how some are Shameless Screen Grabs? This was a Shameless Screen Claw - bits here and there reassembled from Big Think. Of course you may know Mr. Kurzweil from his book "The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology". Ray's recommended drugs: Coenzyme Q10 on Amazon, Phosphatidylcholine on Amazon, and Vitamin D on Amazon. The Singularity, seen also as a Technological Singularity postulates a time when an emergence of a greater than human intelligence manifests.
And for the hat trick, Emergence describes how complex patterns arise out of many simple interactions. Protocols form, order from chaos. It is the anti entropy.
* Results May Vary. Side effects may include normal death.

Screen claw, good name for it, and very effective.
ReplyDeleteOverlord is a total supplement junkie. It's a problem, but not the worst problem I could have. CoQ10 is in the regimen AND in the toothpaste, Vitamin D is a given, but Phosphatidylcholine? I'll have to look into it.
Overlord,
ReplyDeleteRay knows his science, but he's singularly ("singularity") obsessed, and known for, his work. He might be biased. They're going on the (Amazon) shopping list.
Thank you,
