Episode notes
Aging is considered a disease because it progresses over time, makes individuals sick, and can lead to death. The analogy of programming computers, where the outcome can be influenced by configurations, is used to explain aging. The speaker believes that our bodies age due to corrupted software, similar to how a computer's performance declines. The information theory of aging suggests that there might be a way to reboot the 'software' of aging to reverse the aging process and rejuvenate old bodies.
