That\u2019s largely because I\u2019m pushing hard to finish a complete draft of my book on biostasis. If I can keep up the pace, I expect to finish a draft around the end of the year or in January 2025. The blog entries I have written have been on our group blog for Biostasis Technologies. Subscribers will probably enjoy my October 29 entry:<\/p>\n<p>I look at the origins of effective accelerationism (e\/acc) and its unacknowledged roots in extropian transhumanism as well as in several Singularitarian writers. Noah Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noahpinion.blog\/p\/thoughts-on-techno-optimism\" rel>has noted<\/a> the \u201cextropian enthusiasm\u201d of e\/acc. The original essays by the e\/acc founders can be difficult to distill down so I outline the basics of e\/acc and then survey the many flavors of accelerationism. I point out errors in e\/acc\u2019s contrast with transhumanism. That is followed by a critique of the injunction to \u201cfollow the will of the universe.\u201d Despite errors and shortcomings I conclude that e\/acc is more right than wrong. From the perspective of the central important of life extension, I outline what might be called long\/acc or longevity accelerationism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My output on my personal blog has been low lately.
