    Not really not dying ever (entropy will came for everyone some day). But let’s say not doing for very, veeeery long time.

    I am 35 in reasonable health. I have reasonable chance to live until development, distribution and cheaping of real anti-aging / rejuvenation therapies (that can be 20 years). So my plan is to help spread awareness about such therapies to support their development rather sooner than later. I am thinking about founding an organization to support writing Wikipedia articles in many languages about this topic.

    And in case of premature death, I intent to sign up for cryopreservation to buy some time to researchers to develop therapies for whatever would kill me in the meantime.

    Starting this year, limited booze intake to 2 days per year.

    Bought a Personal Locator Beacon for off-grid activities.

    In order to be around when gen-eng, consciousness upload, medical age reversal, are real prospects. Still wouldn’t opt for them though, here and now is it.

    Only insane billionaires plan for that.

    I’m not looking to live forever. Just another 40 to 50 years as long as I’m healthy. Only plan for that is to eat somewhat healthy and get a couple hours of cardio and strength training in a few times a week. Nothing obsurd just enough to maintain strength as I age and get the heart pumping.

    Are you a billionaire? Cause unless you are it’s like a child wanting to be Batman when they grow up.

    Look at the world around you, do you really want to live forever? The more time passes the more death seams like retirement from life.

    Lol is vampirism an option? All option are basically losing your humanity. I’ll list some non magical ones:


    Genetic enginerring: ok maybe i can improve my form by fixing the DNA deteriorating but how much memory will I be able to retain? Psychosis is going to suck.


    Cloning/body swap with memory transfer: Basically all im doing is killing a version of me for a new one to start. Id have to be real chill with that or kill my self right as it starts to have continuity. Play SOMA for more insight. I know my SO could not handle that. Id get used to but not really ideal. Also issue of how much memory can be retained.


    Digital upload in quantum computer: Your physical form still dies but this one is my favorite but with a few “*” Because this can easily be condemned a version of yourself to hell. Basically your digital soul needs complete control of your environment and be able to escape to real mechanical or biological body on whim. Being restricted like in Upload will be nightmare. Then you need to be able to resolve having multiple overlapping memory if you have versions out and about doing stuff. Then you can multi task and consolidate memories without versions of you going rouge.


    Brain in jar with human meat puppet

    This one is similar to others but my original brain didnt die. This will similar to Jimmy in hard core Henry. Same issues with psychological aging but least your original self still exists.

    Can’t think of any others within realm of “science”.
