One thing almost everyone can agree on is: We need more time. I'm Johnny Adams. This short video runs about 12 minutes. It's about solving the problem of biological aging to get many, many more years of healthy life. More time. You will surely find it interesting and useful. And it just might change your life, in very positive ways. In scientific circles aging is usually described in clinical rather sterile terms. Words like morbidity, mortality, hallmarks, risk factors, biomarkers like DNA methylation tests and the like are used. And that's important for scientific analysis -but this is what it looks like and feels like to get old. The good years of our lives, the youthful, sweet, ever so precious ones, are just too damn short! Then in the end, leave everything you've worked your entire life to build. (sound clip - heartbeat, thunder, "Noooooo"). But if money is all that important, think of how much more you could make if you just had more time. How about some solutions?! Well here's one: (picture of Johnny with funny fanfare) (ha-ha) That's quite an impressive fanfare. Funny ending. I’ve found in the midst of all this somber talk about getting old and decline and the like, it's good to stay a bit lightheart. So here’s my mission: Solve aging. FIX IT. I've been working on aging solutions for over forty years. Building skills, meeting people to build a broad network, and refining methods. Here's the foundation;s website. I suggest you don't open these now. Stay with me, it'll be there later. You will find I do things, then write about them later. Here's where to find my background summary, and it looks like this. These are my organizations, I lead most of theses. And here are some close affiliates. This is what I intend to do (picture of man growing younger). This is one guy, growing younger. Maybe you. Accomplishing great things requires big thinking. I'm reaching for the stars - open-ended life. No expiration date. And of course it's healthy and vigorous and filled with joy and making the world a better place. We hear talk about moonshots. Been there, done that. Let's call it this a star shot. Cue the inspirational, and for some nostalgic music. (Star Trek theme) This is the greatest challenge, and adventure, ever. We are fortunate to live in a time when it's within our grasp. Some personal characteristics are needed to make it happen: passion, drive, clarity on the path to the final goal, the resolve to do it, real world skills especially working with people, sometimes a lot of grit, and action leading to results . . . and often lacking common sense. You will find I have these in great quantities. These are my main research and solutions interests: gene therapy will special interest in plasmid and minicircle gene therapy, cellular reprogramming or resetting the epigenome towards youth, artificial intelligence to develop new therapies and analyze biomarkers and objective measures, and a select few others. Keeping our eye on the end results we seek for a very long time: maintaining our physical capabilities like mobility, sensory, healing, freedom from infection, and pain free living. Some examples. Cognitive and mental function - clarity of thought, problem solving ability, productivity, memory and others. And emotional and spiritual - a subjective feeling of well-being and the enjoyment of life, fulfillment, and joy. Let's ask ourselves, after we solve aging, what will we do with all that extra time? Travel? Party? Well, yeah, a little. Here's one idea: have a purpose. Make the world better. These are some things i'm going to do after we solve aging. Here's why i'm presenting this: I want to team with exceptional people – particularly donors and investors, as well as scientists, innovators, visionaries and others to create the next big thing in aging solutions. I'm raising money to make it happen. It will be spent effectively and wisely. Grants will go to exceptional researchers, and we'll benefit from the knowledge. Companies will be funded. Supporters can get equity, and we'd have oversight. This is not just the big giveaway. We're going to build, or partner with, aging solutions development labs here in the US and offshore. I'm looking for introductions and want to meet people who will help. I'm always learning and I want to be with comrades in this relentless charge on aging. And I rather enjoy the challenge and adventure. Here's what you get out of it: early access to therapies to get more time. This is your best shot at many more years - open-ended life. If these are not your main interests, then we probably won't be working much together. If money is your main interest, I can introduce you to some people who are very good making money in the longevity industry. You'll get early access to information. Huge sums of money will be made in the longevity field, and I want you to have whatever else your heart desires. Some restrictions apply. If something like, say, world domination is your thing, I wouldn't be able to help you. Here's what I want out of it. It should come as no surprise, early access to therapies. And sure, maybe equity or salary, perks, and mostly the things money can get - but I'm doing fine don't really need it. I love life! Give me more! Donors, investors, also innovators, visionaries and others: Let's solve ageing. Here's how you can reach me. Angel groups: team with our San Diego based angel group. Our criteria: breakthrough therapies to get a great many more years of healthy life. Fifteen years to open ended. And we get early access. And some others. Here's some more detail on how we're doing it: We keep a sharp focus on developing therapies to get open-ended lifespan - gene therapy, cellular reprogramming or resetting the epigenome toward youth, Artificial intelligence to develop better therapies and analyze biomarker analysis. Do you have something that's better? And there are others farther down the list. We conduct pilot and proof of concept research studies to evaluate and get data on therapies, and to try them on ourselves. Biomarkers and objective measures of aging. We assist scientists and others. And our email discussion forum is an outstanding information exchange. These are some organizations I'm working with and helping. These are some I would like to (work with). I've had discussions with some of them. We're going to build out our own facility, and either create or work with current offshore locations. I've had discussions with scientists and clinic managers at a number of these. I'm working with these scientists and organizations right now. And these are ones I'd like to work with. Some of them I've had conversations with. We're going to build out our own research and solutions development facility, both here and the US and offshore. I've begun building relationships with doctors and clinic managers at a number of these. Let's talk about tangibles, reality: whether you're building a therapy, or a transistor radio or spacecraft, you're gonna need a plan. Projects we fund will include elements like these. I can offer you few guarantees except one - for me, there's no Plan B. It's do or die. No pressure. No nursing home, no cryonic preservation, no funerals. Mark your calendar. 2049 - come to my big 100th birthday party. It's gonna be a hoot. We’ll do things we did when we were young. Have some laughs (sound of people laughing). And that, my friend is where the long term planning will begin. I would look forward to working with you. Let me know how you can help. Here's how you can reach me. |
