RE: Introduction/Missed Opportunities: How to not become a (bitcoin) millionaire.
It's cool that you're interested in immortality/life extension/the end of aging. It's a fascinating subject and one I have a keen interest in....and so does my brother. He is so interested in it, in fact, that he and his best friend since high school both got their Ph.D.s together last year, both in Molecular Biology with specializations in longevity research. They have now started a biotech start-up and a non-profit to study longevity and how to achieve it. They're on the cutting edge of the science, and because of them, I'm able to be up on the latest things, too. I expect one or both of them to win a Nobel Prize one day.
Looking forward to reading more of your posts!
I blame Robert Heinlein! :D
How can one not be interested in that? Or outright oppose it? Completely beyond me... Intriguing fact about your brother. Do you write about their research/that subject in general?
Sometimes, if it's something I understand and can put in layman's terms. A lot of what they do is super scientific and incredibly technical. I've got a Master's degree, but it's in the social sciences. My brother's Ph.D. is in the REAL sciences. He believes, based on his studies, that human immortality is theoretically possible. In fact, he says there's no real biological reason we can't achieve it. The challenge is to find ways to defeat all the things that play into aging and disease and stop them. Once we stop those, which can also be done, but apparently we're not quite there yet, then immortality, or at least extreme longevity, should become the norm.
Great, I'm looking forward to that :)
