**Delaying age-related diseases: Can the mushroom-derived nutrient ergothioneine prevent dementia?** Distinguished Professor Barry Halliwell host: Kamil Pabis, PhD, co-organized by VIVA foundation As we sit in this room, we are all breathing oxygen (O2), a gas essential for life for efficient energy production from our food. Yet oxygen has a dark side; some of it makes reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as oxygen radicals, which can damage our body tissues, a factor that contributes to age-related diseases, especially dementia. ROS are not all bad, they help protect against infectious disease via the process of acute inflammation (keeping us alive) yet as we age inflammation isn’t controlled properly and the extra ROS cause more damage that contributes to age-related diseases. ROS levels in the body are controlled by antioxidants, many of which we make ourselves but others come from the diet. Most attention has been paid to vitamins C and E, polyphenols and carotenoids. Consuming diets rich in these compounds correlates with better health, but high doses of them as pure compounds in supplements have had little effect in delaying dementia and other age-related diseases in properly-controlled human clinical trials; supplements cannot replace the effects of a good diet. Interpreting correlational studies as causation is often done, but fraught with danger. In the past ten years we have studied a diet-derived antioxidant that has been almost totally ignored, namely ergothioneine (ET). It is found in many foods, but the major source is mushrooms. Our work has demonstrated that ET is likely very important in maintaining brain health and delaying or preventing dementia and other age-related disease, and pilot clinical trials support this. Evidence is growing that ET is a “longevity vitamin” to support healthy ageing, but rigorous clinical trials are needed to prove this. Its effectiveness may be due to its many additional mechanisms to protect our organs, in addition to acting as an antioxidant.

Join a small, intimate gathering where we slow down, put away small talk, and connect through meaningful conversations.

This isn’t a workshop, therapy session, or networking event. It’s simply a space to be curious, listen deeply, and share honestly—at whatever level feels comfortable to you. Whether you come to reflect, connect with others, or simply enjoy meaningful dialogue, you’re warmly welcome. What to expect: - Small group - Guided conversations using Big Talk cards - A respectful and confidential space - No right or wrong answers—just authentic conversations Come as you are.

We will not hesitate to ask such individuals to stop attending our meetups if they have been found to be pestering our members for such purposes. 2\.

**ANNOUNCEMENT: [Venue change] SQ Collective has generously offered to host the venue for this session for free. It is only appropriate that we allocate some capacity to them (via a Luma event). This is a chance for folks in the AI builder community to participate in our group’s philosophy practice, and for us to broaden our audience within that community. If you have already signed up via Meetup, there is no need to double-register through Luma, should the Luma event be made public.** “You insist that there is something that a machine can't do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that.” —John von Neumann, in a talk at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, 1948 “Everything is computer!” – Donald J. Trump, sometime in 2025 What is computation? These days, it seems more provocative to stipulate what *isn’t* computation. For instance, to suggest that the brain can be functionally anything other than a kind of computer is suspect in the current technological zeitgeist. It seems self-evident that any system of information processing to achieve some output can be explicated in terms of computation. At the foundation of this conviction is the Church-Turing thesis, which both gave a logical definition to and circumscribed the bounds of computation in the form of the Universal Turing Machine, “a most general formulation of machine” (Alan Newell 1980). The idea that the Universal Turing Machine is an abstract design template that can encompass any kind of information-processing system has led some to extend the scope of the thesis to physics itself: “any finite physical system can be simulated by Universal Turing Machines” (David Deutsch 1985). What do we make of such ideas? Instead of fumbling in the accreted fog of the present, a quiet philosophical dialectic was already underway at the time Alan Turing demonstrated Universal Turing Machines in his seminal paper *On Computable Numbers* in 1936. Ludwig Wittgenstein was a contemporary of Turing’s, and made a number of keen observations in the years that followed\*. In particular, Wittgenstein anticipated readings of the Church-Turing thesis such as the above as resulting from an uncritical acceptance of some inferences within Turing’s demonstration. In this session, we will recount the Church-Turing thesis, its various interpretations, the Wittgensteinian response, and what it all means. Join us to discuss and re-examine the notion of computation, in the hopes of coming to a clearer understanding of it. The format of this session will be a presentation followed by an open-ended discussion. *Compiled in Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics. By L. Wittgenstein
