ya, huuuuge advantages. there is an unimaginable treasure
chest of medical wisdom waiting just below the surface,
waiting for us to find it. i mean some really true breakthroughs.
i think we will find these thru web based health surveys and
data mining. all we need, yes, ALL WE NEED friends, is
some way to allow a large population to download a lot of
information about their lifestyle, health habits, health problems,
etc, into a universally accessible database, while simultaneously
protecting the database from vandalism (possibly by health
product manufacturers) and guarding the privacy of those who
contribute to the database.
how, extropians? how how how how do we do it? spike
