Fwd: Danila - questions about RTM technological advancement plans

[Ben Hyink]

Perhaps different sections of the new TSN website could advocate the three core agendas of Humanity + to extend its ideational motivations into its campus outreach program.

 

http://humanityplus.org/explore-projects

 

Campaigns include "rights of the person," "longer better lives," and "future friendly culture"

 

In the life extension section we could direct students to organizations like the Methusleah Foundation and ImmInst as well as to resources to advance the science of life extension like this continually revised diagram of the aging process:  http://www.sciencevsaging.org/en/diagram

 

Under future friendly culture, I definitely see a link to the Singularity Institute for Emerging Technologies, the IEET, the JET, and maybe Betterhumans.com too

 

SIAI also might fit under rights of the person, with the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/

 

Best,

Ben

Hi, Ben!

One thing I can share is that we are focusing on fighting aging. There is a project undertaken by RTM - a creation of a diagram of aging processes
http://www.sciencevsaging.org/en/diagram

We believe that when it's finished, the attitude of people towards fixing aging will be changed very singnificantly.

Another project worth mentioning is the creation of "Science for Life Extension" foundation that works on a comprehensive research program for defeating aging. For example, they did the SENS leaflet for the TEDMED conference. I am a bit sceptical about the mid-term potential of that project, though.

There are many more things to tell, but all in due time...

P.S. It's sad to hear about your career plans. Transhumanism needs good organisers now more than ever...

Let's hold off on this for a bit. I know there has been discussion w/in the board about removing and replacing this actually. I am seeing about the new page. I know there is a new website in progress.
