Justin Timberlake Lives Forever 'In Time'

It’s coming now (and it’s going to be bigger than the internet)!

With Bio-Revolution, there will always be a Paris — Hilton.



Upcoming film IN TIME (starring Justin Timberlake, Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy and written, produced and directed by Andrew Niccol) deals with a future where people simply stop aging at twenty-five. While the film deals with a world that has accepted and adapted to this phenomenon (and created a whole new criminal system through it), what would be the moral and legal implications of a population that could live for a thousand years?

With medical knowledge expanding daily, the human code is being cracked faster than you can say Da Vinci.

GATTACA brought us a future where we could read our human code, IN TIME  allows us to alter it.



The release of GATTACA (also directed by Niccol) came complete with a confrontation of genetic engineering and eugenics. GATTACA  was ahead of its time, but now we are going one step further, surpassing its futuristic predicitons. In Time is poised to have just as much of an effect. It is only a matter of time until these extreme ideas of longevity become well known; this film isn’t as futuristic as it first seems.

“Why age? It is simply an error in replication of our DNA.”





With a longer living population comes dilemmas, mandatory retirement is no longer possible but the accepted retirement age of 65 the next generation might  be 155. Imagine, then, that instead of living another five or ten years, people could suddenly live another hundred years like Matt Bomer‘s character in In Time. What do you do with the time you have been granted? And how does it effect your life? Would you still learn from your mistakes or would it be a life without consequence? Also, who is that will have the most time? The chances are that, like so many other things, the priviledged and wealthy will receive the lion’s share, while the gap between them and the poor and disadvantaged will grow still more.

“Stop thinking you’re gluten intolerant, avoid fad diets”

If we follow the bio-revolution, nobody would blow themselves up to get 72 virgins, because they know over the period of 1000 years, they may find 72 virgins on their own, and the afterlife is one of religion’s selling points.  The larger the book of life, the shorter the book of death. Cher‘s  ’Turn Back Time’ would have new meaning, she would be dating eighty year olds rather than eighteen year olds and experience would truly be the most valued asset.



Who would be first in line for some extra useful years? 

Maybe Meg Ryan and Uma Thurman would be granted the opportunity to return to leading lady roles?



The Discovery Channel recently hosted a piece with Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science officer of the SENS Foundation  entitled, “Are We Close to Ending Aging?”

I sat down with Dr. Bob (Robert A. Glazer M.D.) to discuss life extension, what it would mean and the very real possibilities of its success.

Q. So, Dr. Bob, What  got you interested in life extension? 

A. I had an extension myself at an early age.  Few people have used growth hormones, but I was given injections because my parents were both quite short.   If I hadn’t, I would have been quite small, probably about the size of Danny DeVito.

Think of it: People born today should be able to outlive a tortoise born on the same day; that’s 150 years!



Q. Why don’t more people get this done?

A. Lack of knowledge and a certain resistance to having your children be more impressive than you.

Q. Are there other areas where parents might not want their children to be superior to them?

A. Dozens, people want to recreate themselves – look at the pressure from the deaf lobby, it’s never about curing just about expanding the infrastructure for those who are deaf.

Q. What is the timetable? And is it moving as fast as expected?

A. Faster.

Q.  What can I do to extend my life right now?

A.  Studies have shown that laboratory rats who are fed less can live 20% longer.  Therefore, if you want to live longer, then you should eat half as much, and exercise twice as much.  This solution may not be popular with most Americans, but there it is.

Q. Can the bio-revolution prevent Cancer?

A. Yes!  It will be possible to “run” an individual’s human genome (DNA Compliment) like a routine lab test in a doctor’s office and have the results in a few days.  We will use this information to watch for specific cancers,  and then attack these cancers in their early, curable phases.   Also, in later years, we will be able to rewrite parts of the genome to correct for these cancer errors in living persons.  These desired changes will be placed into Phage (viruses) and then “infected” into our human cells as a standard viral attack, but in a “good way”.

Q.  What is the main ethical issue regarding knowledge of a specific persons human genome?

A. The question of abortion rears it’s ugly head.  Since we can do amniocentesis to obtain a printout of a gestating fetus genome, then we can know specific characteristics in this developing human before birth.  We will be able to present parents with choices such as: ‘Do you want to have a male, fat kid who will be short with red hair (until he goes bald at 30)?  Also, do you mind if this kid has the iQ of “Forest Gump”?’ Eugenics will be a brave new world.

Q. Why do people age?

A.  The simple answer is that what we see as “age” is actually the result of errors in the replication of our DNA.  The double helix of our DNA stores all of our genetic information.  When this double helix “comes apart” and remakes itself to form new cells in our body, then unavoidable errors occur,  and the daughter cells receive imperfect copies of the original DNA.  We see these errors in replication as age.  When we are able to correct for these changes, then we should be able to stay “forever young”.  A thousand years should be possible, and maybe much more.  We won’t just LOOK younger, but rather we will BE younger, and accidents could become the leading cause of death. Also, a new theory suggests that more important than free radicals are the telomeres, a zipper-like dna structure that helps the cells when they replicate.  Over time, they become damaged, like an over-used zipper, which causes defects in the replicated dna.  Bill Andrews is doing this research, and is determined to solve the issue of human aging forever, or die trying.

Q. What about hormone pills to prevent the changes that come with aging?

A. This is highly controversial.  For example, “should women take female hormones after menopause to remain younger”?  The truth is that nobody knows.  It seems that every few years the medical community “flip flops” on this question and claims that it could promote certain cancers.  Also, should men use testosterone patches to stay younger and viril?  Fortunately, this does not apply to “forever virile men” like me, but for those in need of some help in that department, then testosterone skin patches can be a fountain of youth.  HOWEVER, such treatments can lead to prostate cancer.  Therefore, it is vital to rule out prostate cancer as much as possible before testosterone treatment begins, and then to do frequent testing (including PSA blood testing) during and after the therapy.  The first step is to have your MD do a blood test for current testosterone level to see if exogenous medication is even indicated. So while we’re not quite at the sci-fi age of being able to live forever, better life expectancy is certainly possible.

Here are our top tips for living longer:





1.  Be a woman – all over the world, women are likely to live for four to five years longer than men.
2.  Floss – flossing daily could help you live up to seven years longer
3.  Avoid Vitamins and Sun – unless you’ve been through an arctic winter you’re going to have enough Vitamin D, and enough Vitamin E through almost any diet.
4.  Keep Calm, MEDITATE and Carry On – high blood pressurelowers your chance of reaching ninety.
5.  Be active but avoid sky diving, skiing and other activities likely to get you killed.
6.  Avoid fads like gluten free diets, total nonsense unless your part of that 1% that is gluten intolerant, avoid watching pharmaceutical commercials.
7. Regular medical screenings will stop potential problems from killing you.

8. Don’t replace modern medicines with acupuncture and herbal remedies – they were invented when people believed the earth was flat.
9. Avoid cigarettes, alcohol, saturated fats, sugar and salt. Stevia is a great alternative for sugar, herbs for salt and sex for cigarettes.
10. Fly don’t drive – there hasn’t been a fatality in the air in years.
11. Don’t worry about Stephen Spielberg’s Jaws, invest in insect repellant instead – 65 people have been killed by Great White Sharks since 1876, mosquitoes alone kill two million people a year.
12. Studies have shown that reading this column could help prolong your life, and organic food has not proven to add one day!
13. * Combining 12  with watching Edward Bass films could potentially make you IMMORTAL!!!
14.  Lucky BONUS: item? Irradiated foods means no more worry about parasites at the local sushi stop and if fish and vegetables don’t need to spoil why does uncle bill need to wrinkle??

Coming Soon

80year old George Soros has promised the world he wants to pay higher taxes, and he could lead by example and pay for the promises made to the 20 something year old Adriana Ferreyr. 80 year old men dating 20 something year old women should certainly be taxed at a higher rate than those with age appropriate spouses.



He should be dating Madeline Albright, someone who shares his political views and is more his age. Then he wouldn’t have to worry about lawsuits. If he gave Adriana the money he promised she would then be able to pay more taxes. In other words, come on George, don’t be a tightwad. What are you going to do with the money instead, build a tomb with terra cotta Brazilian women to guard you?

Other possible selections for significant others who wouldn’t expect financial promises would include Nancy Pelosi,

Margaret Thatcher or Michele Bachman

We will be speaking to exclusively Robert J. Hantman (Ms. Ferreyr’s lawyer), Adriana Ferreyr and will be reaching out to George Soros and William Zabel (his lawyer) because maybe there is another side to this story, that neither the Huffington Post, nor New York Post, is accurately portraying in our opinion. It’s certainly not a palomony case, it’s not a case of liberal or democrat, or wanting to pay extra taxes, or even a case about wanting to save money on a reneged promise. It’s a question of human behavior in power. If the allegations are true, why would Soros have his former girlfriend search for an apartment, only to give it to his current girlfriend. If what the complaint alleges is true,

“Soros not only breached his multiple promises … he also proceeded to engage in a delibrate and malicious campaign of extreme and outrageous harassment and intimidation against [her].”

Real Estate agents OUTS Miley Cyrus! If you can’t trust your realtor who can you trust?! Miley Cyrus who just purchased a 3.9 million dollar gated estate to ensure her privacy. The home that was originally 4.4 250 evidentially she Quakered down in the price (an expression first coined by the man on the Quaker Oats box and later brought back to life by Richard Nixon). On top of having the video of the house displayed online they also neglected to remove the address…. check it out if you don’t believe me! It seems as though her real estate agent can’t be tamed!
