FAQ for cheerers:
Q: Ra, ra, ra! This stuff is really keen! How do I
get ahold of it?
A: X is being sold by Y. Z, you'll have to make
yourself.
Q: Make it myself? But that's...hard, as in math!
A: Yeah, but consider all the benefits you can get
from doing it. (List includes starting businesses,
getting rich, and BTW making sure the originally
sought after thing - anti-aging medicine or uploading,
say, which one's own life could someday depend on - is
available at all.)
Q: Okay, you convinced me to play, but I don't know
how.
A: Here are some links to get you started. If you're
still in (or not yet in) college, here's some majors
you might want to look at. If you're out in the
working world, here are some companies to talk to for
each X, and here are some funding sources known to be
friendly to transhuman ventures (and here is how to
talk to them in their own language: make very certain
to read this, lest you give the false appearance of
someone who doesn't know what they're talking about
and get nowhere fast).
It might help if someone with more patience and
diplomacy than I presently possess regarding this
topic were to write the above up into a serious
document.
