On the invitation of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, I was to share a component of my PhD thesis at Johns Hopkins University. I got into Amsterdam and it was a red carpet, because I was going to share how humans could mimic biology and possibly invent immortality through computational systems, by replicating the event-driven asynchronous parallelism of the central nervous system.
I met a man in the program and he was working to stop aging and possibly usher in human immortality. Aubrey De Grey. I was the baby in the game, positing a future where in 300 years you could go to Amazon, Jumia, etc and buy new retina, cochlea, etc and replace the one you have. In short, you can “redownload” your brain and it could be pay-on-delivery! The speech went great. (There was a line: if the Lord sends the datasheets which man was made, everything could become possible, including curing death.)
On Oct 7 2024, as we begin the next investment cycle of Tekedia Capital syndicate, out of more than a dozen startups coming, one has invented how to use AI to create qubits (quantum bits). If they succeed, their computational systems will help us understand the datasheets upon which humans are made – and that will be massive.
