I’m an amateur but have read a bunch about the new targeted therapies, like immunotherapy. Immunotherapy seems to only work in a small percentage of tumors with a lot of mutations. It’s easier to get your immune system to attack those. Ther

Yeah, I always make sure to say cancer(s) so we can skip the “it’s not one disease “ digression. It adds nothing to the conversation. According to Craig Venter, early detection is what we need to eliminate cancer(s): https://yout

Don’t forget the $1 trillion in interest on the US debt. The ICE Bucket Challenge raised $115 million for ALS in 2014. Maybe more events like that? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Bucket_Challenge

I didn’t suggest that anyone did. My point is that we can cure the disease by making a big effort. Do we want to cure the disease by 2100, 2075, 2050, or perhaps 2040? Pick a year.

How are we spending for research? Because we are going to spend $18 trillion for treatment by 2050. “Cumulatively between 2023 and 2050, it will cost nearly $18 trillion (in 2023 dollars) — nearly two-thirds of which will be borne by Medic

I don’t want to live with dementia either. I bet the 50 million people in the world with it would rather not have it either. How about option B? Cure the disease! The woman in the article is only 71. It’s crazy that in 2024 we have no idea

Natural gas is much cheaper than oil so we will use natural gas to generate electricity

Electricity is used to power AI. The $20 billion chip fabs use electricity. Can you explain where the need for the increase in oil is coming from? We are specifically discussing AI.

by melling 2y ago

I think Kurzweil is always overly optimistic. However, I wish he were right. The world advances way too slowly.

Can we agree to at least cure cancer(s) or Alzheimer’s with some of that money? A trillion in research for each over the next decade?

Hopefully someday people stop thinking like this and learn to expect better. Btw, I lived 12 minutes from the NJ Path for 25 years. When I imagined the future, I sort of expected better.
