Goertzel discuss a range of topics. Goertzel is an artificial intelligence
researcher who strongly supports the goal of achieving radical life extension,
so the interaction between the two fields is one of his interests: Ben: On a
different note - I wonder how much do you think progress toward ending aging

mature, clinically available, and FDA-approved therapies to slow or halt brain
cell loss are a decade, and likely closer to two decades,...
