The Hedonistic Imperative by David Pearce is a must-read:

Don't waste your time right now with this babytime frolics magnet implants crap. Just concentrate on your fitness, nutrition, your nootropic stack (be careful with this), and your psychological tool-set. I recommend starting with Robert Anton Wilson (do the exercises), and the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

The Ocumetics Bionic Lens will possibly make 60/20 vision possible but that is at least 2 years away IIRC.

Also you may want to test yourself for Titanium allergy before you get too excited, that could be problematic further down the road if you want to get really weird with it. Basically just rub your hand all over a colour newspaper page and see if it itches or swells, (not particularly scientific or accurate but it will give you a clue). If you get a positive result from that you can look into the MELISA Medica Foundation's blood test.

edit: There is just one more thing.

>Ok. I'm an average joe

No such thing, man.

Yes, please - and soon! Please promote the OpenWorm kickstarter.

This is a project that all transhumans should support - you've got to crawl before you can upload. They are 30% of the way, and only 9 days left to go. Let's do it!

You have turned from "super rich" to "in or above the working class" (which includes the majority of people in developed nations and a vast number of people in developing countries) in the middle of this discussion.

> Genetic sequencing is still only for the super rich everywhere

Maybe if you are still in 2000. Partial sequencing is even cheaper.

> Living forever is an entirely different technology to the ones you mention. It only allows you to rule if you keep it from people.

Do you really think that in the information age you could delay new technologies for long given that most scientific discoveries are immediately made public?

>It only allows you to rule if you keep it from people.

The world isn't nowhere as simple as it would have to be to allow for such control.

You should note that we are talking about technologies associated with transhumanism. As it is always noted, you cannot foresee the consequences of what is usually called "singularity".

If you can't contribute with money or science, you need to get active spread these memes, values, ideas as widely as possible. Yes there is incremental progress. The difference between early adoption and society investing as soon as possible - and "business as usual" is about 20 years and in the order of 100 million humans dying that otherwise won't. Probably more.

Unless something has changed since 2008, it actually is possible to make RAM keep it's state by cooling it.

(Not that this has any specific bearing on cryonics though, since the brain is a bit different than computer RAM.)

Incidentally, one of the big concerns I have about this technology is the cybersecurity of the implanted devices, as I discuss in this paper.

> Thank you for your interest in 23andMe. The 23andMe Personal Genome Service is a comprehensive genetic scan of a custom set of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), which correspond to the SNP data being studied by the research community. 23andMe performs genotyping by analyzing SNPs, however we do not perform Whole Genome Sequencing. > > We use the Illumina HumanOmniExpress-24 format chip. Our chip consists of a fully custom panel of probes for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) selected by our researchers. The selection was made to maximize the number of ancestry features available to customers as well as offer flexibility for future research. All of the laboratory testing for 23andMe is done in a CLIA-certified laboratory. > > Please note that 23andMe is unable to provide health information to customers who purchase on or after November 22, 2013.

Amazon uses different pages for different regions.

Here's the UK store page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Solipsis-Escape-Comatorium-ebook/dp/B008E7JZMK

Here's the International page: https://www.amazon.it/dp/B008E7JZMK

If you have your amazon settings updated and you search for the book, it should send you to the appropriate page.

I take 1000mg of nmn and 1000mg of Resveratrol in the morning because that is the best time of day to take it.

And I like to buy this one. If you can afford ones that devolve in your mouth under tongue it's better though. I've read that the more issues you have the more you feel the effects. And it takes a few weeks for it to get into hour system. I have a connective tissue disease and makes the pain stop.. qnd I have 2 kids and before that stuff I couldn't keep up with them at all..

Hopefully the book appeals to some in the transhuman reddit; transhumanism is only one aspect of the overall story, but it's a crucial one.

Influenced by Ray Kurzweil's 'The Singularity is Now,' I crafted a villain whose goal is to go ahead and expedite the Singularity, by essentially 'becoming' it (along with his partner-in-crime, the A.I. virus "Integer."

Meanwhile in the book, the protagonist, a young kid named Hector, is one of those typical unwitting superhero types who stumble into their new powers ill-prepared for how the real world will accept them. What ends up happening is the military (or a branch of it, aka the Fin) decides to run a few experiments on him, modifying his already superpowered self using nanobots to completely replace his DNA.

So now he's augmented from both his lame superpowers and the intelligent hive of nanobots which make up his body. The effect of this blend of abilities is cumulative; his once useless powers begin to allow him to do things which people hadn't thought possible.

Meanwhile the villain, of course, wants these powers for himself...

As for the Fin, their interest is in an experiment undertaken decades prior by the electrical engineer Nikola Tesla, and in exploring alternate dimensions in hopes of finding the displaced remains of Yddlin Tesa (aka the isles of Atlantis), using Hector as a key to both objectives.

I think transhumanism is interesting in part because it removes limitations, or perceived limitations, on human potential, especially augmented potential. We don't know what is around the corner...and this book is an exploration of several possibilities... https://www.amazon.com/Haveck-First-Transhuman-Matt-Cates-ebook/dp/B0151TVBES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466881618&sr=8-1&keywords=matt+cates#navbar

I really enjoyed Beyond the Pale (the outlander) and its sequel. http://www.amazon.com/BEYOND-PALE-Outlander-Senan-Gil-ebook/dp/B00O39BCNS It had a very realistic feel towards living in a transhumanistic future city. People were confined to living in these cities but you are introduced to them through a young captured outlander that has lived so far without technology. A very visionary and well imagined world.
