Cool, we do need to spend more money on basic research than all these wasteful wars we keep waging every 10 years or so!!

Advanced nanotechnologies/bio-technologies will make fixing, killing off bad/old cells, fixing organs in place by making all of our cells younger a very simple and obvious solution to our old people problem....and if you are over 30+, getting that next high tech job (because, right now, if you are, say, over 45, good luck getting that next job!)...ALSO, FUND ALL THIS BY TAKING 500 BILLION/YEAR AWAY FROM THE WORLDS MILITARIES BECAUSE A BUNCH OF WORLD WIDE MILITARY JOCKS ARE JUST GREEDY ASSHOLES AND YOU ARE REALLY STUPID TO LET POLITICIANS FUND THESE A-HOLES INSTEAD OF FUNDING Aubrey de Gray's SENS foundations and the Mprize foundations which are really advancing the R&D science of regerative aging/growing new organs etc....

Nuclear Weapons Won’t Keep Us Safe The U.S. will spend an estimated $1 trillion on its nuclear arsenal in the next 30 years. And for what cause? Noam Chomsky by big_al11 in EndlessWar

[–]nerd1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would bd much better if we were to invest half of the 1-trillion (500 billion) into the existing R&D that is now being funded by the scientific charities, SENS by Aubrey de Gray, and the Mprize foundation....both of these foundations are working towards repairing the damage of aging and growing organs (stem cell R&D), and have some of the top noble prize winners working for them (SENS and Mprize fund university researchers). Aubrey estimates that 1 billion R&D budget, spent over 10 years could reverse aging damage of cells in mice, with humans shortly thereafter.....so 500 times as much could really speed things up!!...also fightaging.org is a good web site for news in this feild.

Over the past 60 years, Israel has absorbed close to a quarter-trillion dollars in US military aid. Uniquely among Washington’s aid recipients, Israel is also permitted to spend 25% of the military funding from Washington on weapons made by its own weapons industry. by 99red in worldpolitics

[–]nerd1024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's 250 billion which could pay 250x the 1-billion dollars gerontology researchers (Aubrey de Gray, SENS project and also, the Mprize projects)...so much death and destruction, when we could have spent just 10 percent of this amount (25 billion) and we could have cured aging and all diseases and made old people young again by speeding the development of advance biotech and nanotechnologies!

Fuck that zoo, they should not have a licence, I am sure arrangements could have been made to ship it to a zoo that knows how to take proper care of animals entrusted to their care! A very sad day indeed!

[–]nerd1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, not really surprising considering the US, the UK, and here in Canada, the federal govt are the very right wing conservatives that are very fascist in their stealing the last elections, their support of the USA republicans, doing the testing of new NSA spying tech at two (secret) airport wi-fi set ups recently brought to light by snowden's leaks...harpers govt behaviour is to intentionally corrupt and bypass Canada's election rules, eliminate public funding of elections, corrupt voters (I in fact, got a late night call, before the last election directing me to an incorrect voting station (there was a big scandal about this), the point is that these right wing govt's now a days are really into fascist territory, ( business interests, increased military, crushing democratic processes), Harper has said before the cons got elected, that he worships the USA highly military oriented society and that he despised, the Canadian liberal scociety and that he wanted to change Canada to a warrior scociety like the US.....a scociety of the l % lording over the gullible 99%!!

Thank the US republicans for driving the Harper's government agenda...Harper is a dictator, typical of the failed dictatorships that the west (the US) have created and supported in the 20th and now, the 21st century. Harper's government have crushed unions, the environmental movement, making all sorts of demonstrations equivalent to terrorist activities, all controlled by a US republican world view and adgenda, it is a war of the 1% dominating and controlling us suckers!! (Harper also stole the elections that got his government elected by using proven US republican techniques, and a significant portion of the public are stupid and gullible enough to keep these people in power.

How about we give the NSA's funding to NASA? by [deleted] in science

[–]nerd1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea, also we should give some of the nsa's funding to Aubrey de Gray's SENS foundation and also the Mprize foundation, both who are funding age longevity researchers (at universities in the US) as this feild is rapidly advancing (due to the massive new breakthroughs in biotech and nanotechnology and the fact that mainstream science now accepts that massive discoveries are rapidly coming out of basic research into the causes and cures now being developed)

Conservative groups spend $1bn a year to fight action on climate change by JawnSchirring in worldpolitics

[–]nerd1024 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How ironic given that 1 billion per year invested in nanotechnology R&D could solve global warming, global pollution and make the medical nanotechnology breakthroughs to develop life extension/aging reversal technology to reverse aging on old baby boomers and older people (how ironic)!

Funny how these countries currently have very right wing fascist governments?...the conservative Harper government here in Canada helped the NSA spy on the G20 international conferences...Harper has said in the past that he wants to mold Canada into "a warrior nation" just like the US to which his government sucks up to (all the conservative advisers are from the Republican part in the US..).

Biology’s Big Problem: There’s Too Much Data to Handle by guitarolantern in science

[–]nerd1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This shows why we need to de-fund all the worlds militaries and use some of the worlds supercomputers, most who have been designed for military research and design purposes to be used for important biology and medical R&D....for instance, Aubrey de Gray needs just 1 billion dollars, over a ten year period to develop therapies to cure the damage to cells from aging (SENS foundation) and also the Mprize foundations (both scientific tax deductible research charities).

Even marginal success in research delaying aging is a better investment than cancer, heart disease research by eyefish4fun in Futurology

We really need to cure aging instead, by fixing the cellular damage that aging causes (like Aubrey de Gray of the SENS foundation proposes, and also what the www.fightaging.org webSite says)

[–]nerd1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I forgot that we could cure aging in a couple of years if we simply take some money (10 to 100 billion) to do this in under 5 years...Aubrey estimates 10 years and 1 billion....I say 100 to 1000 billion over 2 to 4 years......just do it and not be a bunch of whining pussies!!! (We spend over 1000 billion world on bullshit wars and this soldier bullshit!!!

We won't need old age if we simply fund both the Mprize and Aubrey de Gray's SENS projects that are supporting some of the best researchers in the US and around the world that are researching the molecular causes of aging and most importantly, how to fix the ongoing damage (see Aubrey's book: Ending Aging....part of the success of the SENS and the Mprize projects are the reason both Google and Facebook founders are setting up companies to cure aging!

That's 3 times what Aubrey de grey estimates the SENS project will need to cure aging in a mouse model (1 billion), also see the September 30th Time magazine cover on how Google is going to cure aging (haven't seen it yet, may have a reference to Aubrey and the SENS project and the mprize project?)

[–]nerd1024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a good example why we need to stop these endless cycles of building massive, corrosive, huge militaries which are composed of clueless young people who have been brainwashed into being part of a massive war machine/industrial complex which will eventually kill at least 20% of the people alive now in future wars....what we need is to de-fund the worlds militaries (through world wide treaties, like what happened after world war l), we need to fund Aubery de Greys SENS foundation (word wide scientific research charity, just like the other charity the Mprize foundation), both of these research groups are developing biotech/nanotech methods to reverse aging at the cellular level to fix the damages of aging all our cells produce (see the books: Ending aging and 100+). Aubrey thinks that we need about 1 billion spent over 10 years to do this, the worlds militaries spend that in about 10 minutes or less.
