#SayForever I'm a transhumanist. I strive to improve my body, prolong my life and pump up my psyche and intellect. I need new opportunities and constant growth.

@memortalism @strygah Translation from Russian: “but death is natural.

[Yan Granat | Immortality or Death! @yangranat]

The pursuit of immortality has no side effects, it is the elimination of all existing evil in the world, starting with the greatest and gradually moving on to the lesser.

Evil is what kills us.

After we defeat aging, we will tackle wars, famines, etc., but first we need to eliminate the cause of 70% of deaths in the world.

Every day of delay costs us 100,000+ lives.

[Yan Granat | Immortality or Death! @yangranat]

If you don't want eternal life, then what do you want? What are your terminal goals/values? What are you ultimately aiming for? What is your existence reduced to?

My point is that there is no worthy alternative to eternal life.

At best, you'll just want to live forever under condition X.

This could be, for example, health or happiness.

But the truth is that maximizing lifespan involves not just health or happiness, but becoming techno-gods, conquerors of galaxies, beings of entirely new intellectual horizons.

In the short term, in theory, it may be necessary to sacrifice something, but eternity is worth it.

In practice, I think that the pursuit of eternity is a win-win. We will not lose anything, we will only gain. It is very unlikely that efforts to prolong life will lead to prolongation of an unhealthy period of life, most likely the opposite. And the willingness to be unhappy makes happy.

There is nothing that so clearly points the way for humanity and for each individual in particular as immortalism.

@CPrishel @_vanswan Можно не привязывать. Сдал и живёшь, где хочешь. Очень выгодное вложение. А, если квартир или домов несколько, можно вообще не работать.

Thank you, @nikhilyadala ! Good and probably the first summary of the debates and one of the best questions from the audience.

[Artyom Alexandrov @VampArtyom]

@MikhailBatin @fedichev @aubreydegrey It's cool. I wait it.

[Mikhail Batin @MikhailBatin]

A debate titled "How to Defeat Aging" will be held on May 27, 2024, in San Francisco, featuring two distinguished scientists, @fedichev and @aubreydegrey , both proponents of radical life extension with biotechnology, with opposing views. Fedichev believes aging in humans is irreversible but can be slowed or stopped, while de Grey argues for the potential of rejuvenation to reverse aging. The debate will discuss the feasibility of these approaches in light of recent scientific advancements and growing clinical evidence, aiming to determine which method can deliver clinical therapeutics that can significantly extend human life within the next 10 years. The event, hosted by the Foresight Institute, Say Forever, and Open Longevity, will be accessible both offline and online. The winner, chosen by a jury, will receive a $10,000 prize to further their research.

@fedichev I agree that healthy lifestyle is not enough to radically prolong life and youth, but this is already an accessible way and it is necessary, otherwise we will die even earlier. How many transhumanists have died early without even following these rules?

[Peter Fedichev @fedichev]

You might have noticed that I often ask for likes and reposts on my tweets, referring to the struggle between kind and wicked memes in our longevity community. In the field of anti-aging medicine, there are at least three particularly detrimental narratives:

* Aging is solved: "Aging has been defeated = slowed down and reversed in labs; just a bit more time and money, may be 5 more companies funded against every hallmark of aging, and we're all set for eternal youth."

* Age is Just a Number: “Aging is overrated. Just follow a healthy lifestyle, measure 1000s parameters, meticulously manage every one of them with diets, supplements, exercise, existing and upcoming medicines. Death is optional."

* Aging is intractable without AGI/ASI: "Nothing works; aging is too complex, with no significant breakthroughs for decades. Let's just repent (crossed) and wait for Artificial General Intelligence to arrive and sort everything out"

All these narratives exist simultaneously to the utter confusion of the public. Other than being funny, each of them in its own way suggests that nothing needs to be done (👇see the next message and the important announcement down the thread👇)

Yesterday I joked about not being a transhumanist. I still want to live forever and become superhuman. That's okay. However, I probably won't be writing until the summer. I have a lot of work to do. I'm going to do some digital hygiene. Stay with me. I'll be back for sure.

I once custom made myself a cap with a transhumanist H+ sign and a t-shirt with "Science VS Death" on the back. It's been almost 7 years now.And I'm as transhumanist as I ever was.And the symbolism idea needs to be revived and come up with something else.Suggest your own variants

London.1905.All these people are now dead!No one alive today has ever seen the world at this time. It's a real disaster!To prevent it from happening again,we need to get serious about life extension.Otherwise,all the people living in 2024 without exception will be dead by 2140.

[Artyom Alexandrov @VampArtyom]

@HyacinthhMcaw If I am gone, if I am dead, I don't care where, when, or how my body is buried. I should invest in life, not death.

[Artyom Alexandrov @VampArtyom]

@yangranat Death can cause fear of not having time to do what you want to do, and thus motivate. But it's not just death that motivates us. We are motivated by many other things. Without death, life will not become meaningless; on the contrary, it will have new perspectives.

[Artyom Alexandrov @VampArtyom]

@GriffinBrumley I would like to live forever or until the universe dies.

It's good not to grow old together.

@yangranat If you try, it might work. If you don't try, you definitely won't succeed.

My favorite vampire is Alice Cullen.She's breathtakingly beautiful.Words can't describe her.I love her personality. She is cheerful and fun, loves to dress stylishly. These are the kind of heroines who romanticize the idea of immortality and eternal youth.I fell in love with her.
