Ah! The most fervently ignored area of interest under Extropian concerns or
TransHuman concerns. Most peeps here on the list seem to be convinced that
they will live for 10,000 years; if not forever. To me its the analog of a
trapeze acrobat working without a net; courageous but an extra hazard! So
when will those who are qualified, academically, to publish papers come up
with some plausible solutions for this 'situation'? Or are we leaving it up
to Herr God?
