All of the people I see invested in his ideas are computer people, all the people I see very skeptical of his ideas are biological sciences people.

As his work is in the biological realm, this makes me less than confident he's got the tune here.

I'd like to live forever as much as the next guy. I just fear AdG is a huckster or mistaken soul.

Are you aware of an accessible rebuttal to the list given in the parent comment? I'd like to know why biologists are skeptical of this direction of anti-aging research. Is it because AdG shows some fundamental misunderstanding of cellular biology? Could it be for political reasons?
