Bruce, how many people would you estimate were in the audience for it?
I always wonder how many people are out there because on all the TechTalks I have watched in the past, the camera never pans to the audience, so you can never get a good idea.

Check out the vid at 56 minutes. It shows the crowd.

Somewhere around two hundred. Juxtaposed to this, John Edwards (Pres candidate) spoke a day later and packed Google's larger conference room w/ more than one thousand. At current, Google has around 12,000 employees... but they are scattered across many offices world-wide.Bruce, how many people would you estimate were in the audience for it?

I felt the same way. It seemed like he went into a lot more detail than I had seen him go into in the past on the approaches he was overseeing.That was great to watch. I learnt quite a lot more about what Aubrey is up to.

What did everyone think, while Aubrey was answering one of the questions, that he suggests there really is nothing in supplemental form that can slow down aging?

Yeah, you might slightly increase your lifespan if you did everything exactly right, but compared to the stuff he is working on it is so minute not even to be a blip on the radar.What did everyone think, while Aubrey was answering one of the questions, that he suggests there really is nothing in supplemental form that can slow down aging?

True, my dad is on cholesterol meds. (Lipitor or something similar I think) I was talking less about meds than supplements. Beyond taking meds for cholesterol (or other things that you might have wrong, like diabetes or whatever) and maybe even a multivitamin, the amount of gains you get from taking supplements is going to be far outweighed by "true" anti aging therapies being developed by Aubrey and others in the field. Pushing that research forward, even only slightly, would be a much better bet, imo, than focusing so heavily on supps.There are hoards of people, though, who might benefit in the most final way from those token efforts. Getting the HDL up, for example, might not be so important for someone currently in their 20s, but might make all the difference for someone in their sixties.
