Subject: David Bowie/Cher -Poster Children for the "almost
transhuman/extropian"
Are the superstars of today the natural precursors to the
transhumans of tomorrow?

" There's the conundrum of how one is supposed to , as they say,
"stay young" Well I don't believe it has anything to do with young -
because I know a lot of young people who have absolutely no enthusiasm
for life whatsoever - and deal with it very passively.....
I believe it has to more to do with staying in touch with the
society in which you live and not loosing sight of those
things that keep you excited" - David Bowie
This from a man who is looking veery good at age +/- 54 years, is wealthy,
married to a supernmodel, has his own Internet ISP site (BowieNet),
involved with fine arts, stage productions, has released three albums
in the last few years and the list goes on and on ... despite the fact that
he smokes, gallons of coffee and doesn't enjoy exercise! I wonder if this
longevity has anything to do with the fact that he was known as the "Thin
White Duke at one stage. Could this be the result of unintentional calorie
restriction - despite the periods err experitments with mind expanding
substances ;-)
