This piece may as well be called "tales from the aristocracy." Every name mentioned in there except for Brin got to where they are through some combination of nepotism and positive stereotyping.
I bring this up because I find it especially amusing to watch these aging billionaires chasing after immortality. I imagine some ancient philosophers would have some zingers for these guys. The hubris is incredible.
(That said, the research into aging is fascinating and promising in many ways. I'm disappointed the article spend so little time exploring the substance of the research.)
