Dr. Jean Hebert: Progressive Brain Tissue Replacement and How we Beat Aging!

Professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and extramural researcher for SRF, Dr. Jean Hebert gives a presentation on replacing brain tissue over time to sustain neurological functions far longer than our current technologies allow us to.

I'm 39. When I was an postgraduate I always assumed that replacing all of our body parts via organ cloning would be how aging would be addressed, but I always asusmed it was just a matter of replacing the central organs and using stem cell transplants to fix things like muscles, leaving cancer and Alzheimer's to be dealt with pharmaceutically. I never knew about the extra cellular matrix, so I must say some of these videos have proven to be quite infromative (as well as reassuring).

I really hope i can get this in my lifetime, regardless if it increases my lifespan or not. I got brain inflamation during covid and am now suffering long covid symptoms from permenant brain damage due to the loss of neurons per my psychiatrist's assesment. This would be a game changer and id love to be able to experince life to the fullest free from the dull experience ive been having since i got sick

Can this tech be built (by non-AI) before AGI/ASI arrives?
I foresee the latter before 2030.
The former, not so much...
I'd go all-in on AI, myself.
