> Hello everyone,

> Physical Immortality is a new magazine being produced by The
> Society for Venturism. Our goal is to get it distributed
> throughout the United States and beyond. Through this and other
> initiatives we aim to change public attitudes about extreme life
> extension and to even save lives.
>
> I have been appointed the managing editor and I hope to do all I
> can to advance this important project. And so I ask everyone on
> the list to consider subscribing.
>
> To give some incentive to everyone, I will even send a free
> sample copy to those who request it. Please just remember that
> this is our first issue and we definitely plan to improve the
> appearance as time goes on. But this is not to say I am not
> proud of what we have so far accomplished.
>
> We are also looking for submissions and I would ask anyone
> interested to try their hand at it.
>
> My life has definitely taken some amazing turns since leaving
> Alaska for Arizona!

> It is time for all people who wish to live in a better world
> which readily accepts life extension research and cryonics to
> band together and work to make this a concrete reality. The
> Society for Venturism is raising up its banners to share with the
> world our exciting message which aims for the achievement of
> physical immortality. Our initial plans are to help our members
> be interviewed in the mass media, develop a major new magazine,
> and to have the membership advantage of sharing our beliefs from
> the forum of an organization that does not profit when someone
> gets suspended.
>
> We will do the first aim by engaging radio and TV talk shows and
> offer up Venturist members to be interviewed - long and often.
> We hope to flood the talk shows and news shows with interviews of
> reasonable Venturist members who are willing to persuade others
> to "take the venture to the future." If you remember, we chose
> the word "Venturist" because a "venture" is an adventure with
> some risk. That is what cryonics is about.
>
> We will spread the cryonics message by building the Venturist
> Magazine into a publication that can be sold in news stands and
> will be attractive and informative. Starting with the July 1st
> issue the Venturist magazine will come out every month.
>
> Our unique organization lets others do suspensions and storage,
> while we concentrate on getting our message out to the world.
> This is so there is no perceived financial gain for us as
> cryonics grows. The benefits of our work will go to others.
>
> So far we have discussed building the membership, doing radio and
> TV talk shows, and building the magazine and trying to get it up
> to standards where it can be sold in news stands. After we have
> progressed in this direction we can implement other benefits to
> immortalists like: Personal trusts to take it ($) with you; a
> back-up rescue option in case the patient's primary storage
> company gets in trouble; meetings and seminars here at the
> Creekside Preserve.
>
> And in time Ventureville, our cryonics community planned for
> development in Mayer, will become a reality as our numbers grow.
> This will not happen overnight, but in time we will have houses,
> apartments and a lodge center to be a beacon to cryonicists
> everywhere who want to gather together to work on Venturist goals
> and also to look after each other.
>
> People who use reason to seek their own advantage and do so
> without harming others, and in fact help others in the process
> they select to obtain those advantages, are the most noble and
> honorable. And that is what you will be doing with other fine
> people when you join the society for Venturism. Each time the
> Venturists help motivate another person to sign up for cryonics,
> the existing cryonics population is strengthened by adding more
> members and the new person is helped by having the personal
> protection of being signed up for cryonics. Therefore, every
> time you help someone else through cryonics you are also helping
> those who are already signed up and those who are already in
> suspension. Working to increase membership in the cryonics
> movement is truly a win-win situation.
>
> By becoming a member you will be taking part in a great
> undertaking which will change for the better the world we live
> in. Come embark on the adventure!
