SPEAKER: So I am introducing Aubrey de Grey,

who is the chief science officer of the SENS Research

And he is a major force in aging research,

AUBREY DE GREY: All right, thank you all for coming.

Yeah, there's only five books left over there.

That's about-- there were 20 when we came into the room,

if you really want to be a terribly fanboy kind of person

so I'm going to try and tell you as much as I can about

you should be supporting it and how you can support it.

And there are various ways you can do that.

I'm going to start by giving you a really top-level idea,

don't have very much in the way of biology training.

I'm going to start by saying why I think this

is really the epicenter of the effective altruism movement,

the movement that really focuses on rationally determining what

is the best way to spend money on humanitarian causes, what

and what it would cost to do something about that.

And they try and figure it out from there.

And a lot of this comes down to the trade-off

In other words, between understanding how much good you

can do and understanding the uncertainty as

get kind of the short end of the stick when

Because they don't really offer the confidence,

with regard to knowing that what they're doing

is the situation where you don't know whether the problem is

In other words, you know, zero chance of success,

And the problem with that is zero times anything

So however valuable that the goal might be,

And certainly the comparison between the defeat of aging

versus various other seriously high profile major issues

today, such as the ones I'm listing on this slide,

was that I didn't think that work was a terribly good thing.

that people have to spend so much of their time doing stuff

that they wouldn't do unless they were being paid for it.

And so I decided I wanted to fix that with automation.

in software verification, for several years

before I discovered that the obviously much more serious

problem of aging was actually being worked on very, very

And I thought that was a bit crap, really,

But when I switched fields, I realized-- in fact, actually,

this was actually part of the reason why I switched fields.

I realized that the people who were working on this, which

were, as I said earlier, only a very small minority

They weren't really going about it as engineers.

the problem in a structured manner the way

I started with the question, well, look, 200 years ago,

even in the wealthiest countries, more than one-third

of babies would die before the age of one.

And we've pretty much entirely eliminated that now
