A huge shout-out to LessWrong for this fantastic write-up on the science of anti-aging research:
We join them in their call-to-action…
“For those wanting to help aging be solved in our lifetime so we can avoid being the last generation to die, consider taking the following actions:
• Sharing this post with others.
• Joining the Longevity subreddit or the Lifespan Discord server to plug in to longevity channels…
• Donating to the SENS Research Foundation.”
I think the larger the galactic population the more deterrence will be a factor of survival. IMO the key apparatus for survival is not only nanotechnology on a personal level but to become Dysonian so we have the energy for defense.
In this video, Unveiled takes a terrifying journey into the Dark Forest! Why don’t you come along??
We’re guided by one question… Where are all the aliens? Humanity has puzzled over the Fermi Paradox for decades now, but is this finally the answer?? The Dark Forest Theory is an all new way of approaching the question of extraterrestrial life… and it might just be the one that finally opens our eyes!
This is Unveiled, giving you incredible answers to extraordinary questions!

Scientists created miniature brains in the lab that formed intricate networks and produced brain waves similar to those fired by the developing brain of a preterm human baby, according to a new study.
The idea of growing miniature brains in the lab isn’t new; researchers have been doing so for nearly a decade. But most studies have used these mini brains or “organoids” to study large-scale structure.
A new wave of battery-electric trains will soon allow routes that had gaps with no electrified rail to still go electric.

MIT’s Biomimetics Robotics department took a whole herd of its new ‘mini cheetah’ robots out for a group demonstration on campus recently – and the result is an adorable, impressive display of the current state of robotic technology in action.
The school’s students are seen coordinating the actions of 9 of the dog-sized robots running through a range of activities, including coordinated movements, doing flips, springing in slow motion from under piles of fall leaves, and even playing soccer.
The mini cheetah weights just 20 lbs, and its design was revealed for the first time earlier this year by a team of robot developers working at MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. The mini cheetah is a shrunk-down version of the Cheetah 3, a much larger and more expensive to produce robot that is far less light on its feet, and not quite so customizable.

EL SEGUNDO, California — Rocket building startup ABL Space, founded by veterans of SpaceX and Morgan Stanley, is in the final stretch of preparations for its inaugural launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
“We’re tracking toward vehicle readiness in March,” ABL president and CFO Dan Piemont told CNBC on Monday during a tour of the company’s Los Angeles-area facilities.
“We’re working on the last bits of scheduling with the [Vandenberg launch] range. We do think that could push us into Q2, so right now no earlier than March but no later than June is the plan,” Piemont added.
Washington in recent years stepped up efforts to put pressure on China’s technology firms, including Huawei and ByteDance.
