  1. On the subject of SF magazines, I used to subscribe to the non-SF magazine Fractal Report. The same person, John de Rivaz, also produced a magazine about life extension/cryonics and a science fiction magazine about the same subject. I had no idea that he got in the news:-

  3. Oh, the richness: Putin and Xi discussing organ transplants for life extension

    OTOH, imagining Putin awake at night fearfully considering his own impending death, the same guy who has people slaughtered in Ukraine: well, it's something, I guess.

    OTOH, the quest for immortality, no cost spared, has been standard for arse wipes from Qin Shi Huang to Thiel

    On the gripping hand, guess at whose expense no cost will be spared? Where will the pristine, prime-of-life organs be harvested? Clones, you say? Who has time for that?! Not Putin.

    As Ian M. Banks has it in a throwaway aside in Use of Weapons about an unspecified Ethnarch (who is exactly the kind of arse wipe you would expect from such a title):

    His heart — the heart of an athletic young anarchist woman up until eleven years ago — was beating quickly, but not worryingly so.

  4. 🚀 Wow, a double negative title that makes "Life Extension" sound like a rebellious teenage phase! 🙄 Apparently, fighting for #longevity is as contentious as preferring pineapple on pizza—because who needs more time to argue? 🍍⌛

  5. Sure hope the non and less Trumpist judges on #SCOTUS have engaged the services of #LifeExtension doctors.

  6. “It’s a [matter] of denying the reality of markets and products, where you’re going to build something that’s kind of shitty and talk about it like it’s the most amazing thing,” Alix Dunn argues.

  7. *He's a "professional rejuvenation athlete" who is "creating a new sport."

    *I dunno. If "body-building" is a sport, maybe he' right. #lifeextension

    *He'll need more fans. Maybe a league of some kind

  8. #ShowerThoughts about something I'm writing for #Modders...

    I imagined Herbert (the guy who was cryo'd in the 1980s) asking Nuki (the author-insert who was born in the 1990s) if functional #immortality is a slippery slope to paranoia or megalomania, and she responds with "Some people do, that's why the technology keeps advancing, but it actually makes me a lot more concerned for people who don't have a recent backup: if a plane goes down with me on it, my forks go on, but everyone else? I don't know if they even have a backup, let alone a recent one. I'd rather deal with the inconvenience of my body being destroyed than see someone die for real."

    What if living indefinitely in a high-freedom state actually makes you MORE empathetic, because other people's #mortality is more real to you?

    I should go somewhere with this...

    This is actually very fascinating and hopefully in the near future humans will get microRNA treatments that improve the quality of their end of life as well as extending it. The twisted part is the rich buying young people's blood as opposed to young people volunteering their blood to their loved ones which is what happened here. #lifeextension #Transhumanism
