Elites Gather at Google Camp to Discuss Calico Life Extension TechJames Hall Reported by NBC local TV channel in the Bay Area has guests include Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd C. Blankfein, executives from German and Spanish banks, Uber chief Travis Kalanick, Tesla boss Elon Musk, Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts and Snapchat boss Evan Spiegel. Also on hand is Ben Horowitz, venture capitalist with Marc Andreessen at make-or-break Silicon Valley fund Andreessen Horowitz. Spending quality time with the family between sessions in the next round of tech discoveries hardly seems to be the best use of time. Yet, time may well be the ultimate objective if you can uncover the mysteries of anti-aging research. Life Extension Magazine reports that Google Life Extension is investing in a venture called California Life Company, or Calico for short, and its goal is to extend human life by 20 to 100 years. At this point, Google is being highly secretive about their plans for Calico. All Google would reveal is that Calico will focus in particular on the challenge of aging and associated diseases. Calico could produce startlingly counterintuitive breakthroughs as a result of Googles strengths in the following areas: Further speculation in an essay Hows Google Dabbling in Health, Life, DNA, and Immortality? cites areas of research has cutting-edge technology pushing the limits of the wheel of life itself. Hidden within a feel good sentiment behind the altruism to elevate the life span of the human race is an unconvincing skepticism. In an article like Google Wants You to Live 170 Years, just does not seem believable to a rational observer. Even if such ambitious projections that life extension might become commonplace for the masses, it does not guarantee that everyone will be a candidate for future Camp invitations. Google hardly needs to market the secrets of the gods in order to maintain or enhance their cashflow. The Globe and Mail describes the gathering, Like the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland an annual gathering of the elite at a snowy ski resort the upstart conference from Google projects an aura of exclusivity. Its existence has not previously been disclosed. Following the example of other enigmatic elitist stratagems, The Camp shows no signs of a charitable motivation when the onion is peeled. Michael Downey in the account, Google Wants To Extend Your Life laments that not enough is being done to achieve the holy grail of Ponce de Leons Fountain of Youth. Do you really believe that the beautiful people, much less, the corporatist return-on-assets crowd, or the great democracies of the planet are eager to share any medical, genetic or nanotech leaps forward with the chattel serfs? Attending boot camp for the peasants is quite different from rubbing elbows with these Nouveau riche Sicilian Dons in the global technocratic mafia. The blueblood patricians of the banksters families will enlighten their newly made men into the rules and ways of the global syndicate. The Calico family franchise promises to be more alluring than the temporary ecstasy of a drug high. Most godless souls want to live forever, since rejecting an afterlife is automatic to such atheistic masters of the universe. Google has proven to be a New Age android. Hence, it is natural for apps, developed to manage the life cycle, to become part of the smart set. The key question is will the source code become available to the masses, or will the elites maintain the restricted knowledge only for their devil witch coven?
