In a Nutshell

Biological immortality via longevity escape velocity arrives by 2030, driven by AI solving protein misfolding diseases (e.g., cancer, Alzheimer's) using AlphaFold and mRNA, making therapies cheap and accessible to all through market incentives and DNA printers. Three heuristic imperatives—reduce suffering, increase prosperity, and increase understanding—provide axiomatic alignment for safe AGI, countering risks like misalignment or negative utilitarianism while preserving ecosystems and human relevance. UBI emerges by 2024-2025 from AI-induced mass unemployment, enabling post-scarcity challenges like space migration amid brain-computer interfaces and consciousness continuity debates.

Good morning everybody. This is my day job: YouTuber, communicator, part-time researcher, and community organizer. Monitoring Discord channels for questions; also ask in chat.

Anti-natalism argues it's unethical to create life because life intrinsically involves suffering, assigning negative moral value to birth. Efilism takes that to logical extension: eradicate humans.

Biological immortality will happen; outlined in recent video. Will hit longevity escape velocity by 2030: if in decent health by 2030, therapies will reduce biological age, keeping bodies going indefinitely. Scientific term is indefinite lifespan (won't die of aging, though immortality implies can't die at all).

New technologies from corporations will be available to normal people due to cash incentives: need healthy consumers to buy products/services. Governments won't subsidize expensive healthcare; cheap injection fixing heart disease/cancer preferred.

Louder Marauder: Lowest hanging fruit AI solves first? Cancer, neurological degeneration, metabolic disease?

Unequivocally protein folding/misfolding issues. Many cumulative diseases from genetic code slightly off, proteins wrong shape or fragile. Alzheimer's: cleaning enzymes or plaque proteins misfolded. Combine AlphaFold with mRNA vaccines to solve protein-based diseases quickly.
