Im betting on caloric restriction, but I do not necessarily
recommend it, especially if you are currently young (<30).
In order to pull it off you really need to be at least a
little obsessive compulsive (like me). The reason I go to
such extremes is that I figure I am right about on the edge:
that is, if I can make it until about 80, (a little over 40 yrs
from now) then nanotech should kick in just in time to help
me live until... who knows. But I dont suspect nanotech
will be ready much before then. And Eliezer's singularity
could spoil the whole thing, but maybe not.
Speaking of which, someone please forward this to
Eliezer, since Im in his kill file:
Eliezer, why whats the big hurry with this singularity thing?
Arent you a little curious to see how far we humans could
go without *that* coming along and doing...who knows what?
Maybe the new software really wont be interested in keeping
us carbon units around. I *like* us. spike
