Anything it takes to survive. I'll augment or redesign everything about
myself to survive the singularity. But I don't want it just to be me, I
want everyone on this list to be there with me as well. Otherwise, its
lonely at the top. Current estimates place the singularity at 2025,
possibly even earlier. For folks on this list later in their years, I
_hope_ I don't even need to _hint_ at the idea of cryonics.
