Aubrey de Grey: Just the Computer Guy after all
In case anyone out there mistook Aubrey de Grey for an actual Cambridge scientist, click this link to learn the truth.
In turns out that de Grey was really just the computer guy at Cambridge's genetics department. Moreover, he has apparently been fired for exploiting his marginal association with Cambridge to push his nutty Malthusian techno-religion.

In case anybody actually bothered to do their homework, he never claimed to be a researcher employed by Cambridge University, although I agree it was inappropriate of him to host his website on Cambridge University's computers rather than on his own.

Good point. And Einstein was just a patent office guy.

Sounds like you are just a scared little man who is lashing out at people who make you feel uncomfortable. It's quite understandable and I sympathize with you.

Thank you, James. And, of course, Nicola Tesla's ideas were "nutty", and he died virtually destitute. But this says (or evinces) NOTHING as to whether or not any or all of his ideas/theories are true. I'm rather surprised by this cheap *ad hominem* attack. Appalled, really.
What is your informed opinion about Aubrey's ideas & theories *themselves*?!

That's Methuselan, not Malthusian. I hate it when people get that wrong. Almost as much as I hate it when people describe science as just another religion. Or is it just *some* science that you regard as religious? How do you make the distinction, exactly?
