Monero and Other Privacy Coins
As I said in other writings and videos, no serious cryptocurrency can function in real life which is not also a truly private cryptocurrency.
By far, the most popular of all these is Monero, which has already become the de facto currency of the dark web, but also of all cryptocurrency users _who actually use cryptocurrency … ⌘ Read more

Hedonism, Asceticism and the Hermetic Answer
The modern world more or less gives you the philosophical choice of either Hedonism or Asceticism.You never really hear it in those terms, but that’s how it is.
Hedonism living for pleasure. Your default lifestyle is eating whatever, watching Netflix and playing video games irrespective of how late it is.You watch porn, masturbate, have sex as much as you can and any consequences of any of this are just facts of life which you view a … ⌘ Read more

@niplav@niplav.github.io I wouldn’t disagree with your characterization of people who’re interested in radical life extension, but their messaging, generally, seems to not mention “adding life to your years” at all. “Live to be 150” doesn’t sound all that great if you’re going to have 15 years of being in your 80s, so to speak.
@(frogorbits.com) “@niplav Seems like most of the (radical) life extension people are interested in adding years to their lives, but agnostic about adding life to their years. “Be old longer” doesn’t appeal to a lot of people.” -> I disagree, the people who i know that are interested in life extension look to me more engaged in life than the ones who are not (though that hinges on definitions of ”adding life to their years”). i agree that “adding life to your years” is underappreciated, though.

@adi@twtxt.net “I usually seen the opposite. Women are more interested in longevity and happy that studies show that they live more than men.” -> I probably could have been clearer: It seems to me that women are on average much less interested in life-extension (methods beyond usual health advice such as the old “exercise, eat vegetables”) than men. This might just be founder/sampling bias (life extension comes out of the relatively male dominated libertarian/techno-optimist cluster). Actually, maybe there’s just a variance thing here: median man cares less about his longevity than the median woman, but the variance for men is higher.

Plants are pretty fascinating, they turn air into life.
Good/quick life extension technology would, for the first 2/3 decades, decrease the average age of death, since more people would die young in accidents etc. than of old age.
Different utilitarian approaches to COVID-19 vaccination order, by order of complexity: Maximize {probability of infection*probability of counterfactual death, probability of infection*expected life years lost, probability of infection*expected severity of illness, probability of infection*expected severity of illness+probability of infecting n others*fudging for spreading}
It matters how many life years are lost in car crashes, not how many lives.
