I have been taking Rapamycin for 19 weeks and NR and Metformin (for anti-aging) for much longer and I can't see any difference. I'm 50+. I generally, however, feel excellent, as well as I remember when I was younger so long as I have gotten lots of sleep and don't have a cold. When I'm sick or tired I feel much worse than I did, however.

Thanks!

Hanson doesn't think (2) and (3) follow because of the possibility of panspermia. It's possible that our galaxy is the only one in a billion light years that has given rise to life, but there could, because of panspermia, skill be a high probability that a planet in our galaxy outside our solar system has life. See this podcast Hanson did with me: https://soundcloud.com/user-519115521

Children with hyperlexia can often learn to read before they are two. I personally knew a children who before the age of two was reading.

But if I travel for 45 years at 1-g doesn't the largest scale of the universe become significant to my travels?

Does the expansion of the universe reduce how much you have to slow down if you wish to land on a very distant planet?

Yes, if it's aliens or a 1 in 10,000 glitch it's the glitch. But if it's either aliens or three such independent glitches, it's likely aliens.

The ability to break the Enigma code might qualify. German scientists, I think, considered it unbreakable.

I think because of the expansion of the universe, you don't have to decelerate as much if you travel to far away galaxies.

By this logic, the military would have started vaccinating their troops for COVID by March 2020.

Infinity makes decision making really weird since infinity + 1 is the same as infinity so if you are going to be tortured for infinity years it wouldn't be irrational to volunteer to be tortured for an extra year.

Let's say that across the multiverse all versions of you are going to collectively live for 1 billion years. Unfortunately, some versions of you will be tortured and let's assume that collectively you will be tortured for 10,000 years meaning that the measure your torture is 10,000 / 1 billion. But if you sign up for cryonics you most likely only get brought back in a world that has cured death and isn't evil. If many versions of you do sign up for cryonics say you live collectively for 2 billion years and are only tortured for 11,000 of these years so the measure of you being tortured is 11,000/ 2 billion.

Cryonics (I'm signed up with Alcor) can reduce the measure of you being tortured. Assume a multiverse where some versions of you are going to be tortured for a long time. If you sign up for cryonics, if you get brought back most likely you won't get tortured and so this might reduce the percent of you across the multiverse that is not being tortured.

The endgame is to figure out the least cost sustainable measures of getting R0<1 until we have a vaccine or treatment safe enough for people in high risk groups to take.
