A bit of a public service announcement: Our interest in life extension here is mostly an individual thing or an interest in advancing the frontiers. Progress also needs to be made in making more widely available medical and nutritional advances to developing countries. For example, this charity came to my...

What's new with me? I have a girlfriend. She's 8 years younger (I'm now 45), an impressive person with an exotic background. That she's a high energy extrovert means I need regular down time on my own. I hope she doesn't resent that. I'm still working hard towards tenure. Living in a town in which I use a car instead of a bicycle,...
Hey, I'm still alive! All I have to do is keep doing this, forever, and I'll be immortal!
Before I review my supplement, exercise, and nutrition experiments I thought I'd review a movie I saw last night whose central themes are relevant to this site: Darren Aranofsky's "The...

Here's one staple of my diet I like to think is particularly healthy:
I make a meal centered on a mixture of lentils, split peas, and semi-grains. The nutrition pendulum has swung away from grains, since the "food pyramid" of last decade over-emphasized them. But I think legumes like lentils and peas should be at the center of any diet to...

I've had a couple of birthdays since I last posted here. 44 years in to my hoped for long life, and still experimenting with "nootropic" improvements to my ways of thinking and feeling.
The basics of my life now: I'm employed as a tenure-track professor. It's a small university and not one as prestigious as those I'd taught at...

I'm really enjoying reading Gary Shteyngart's new book, Super Sad True Love Story.
The book extrapolates current social and political trends for the purpose of satire, and Kurzweil/Life Extension Foundation style transhumanism comes in...

I've been away from this blog for a while. I guess one has to be a paying member of the Immortality Institute to post? For some reason I used to be able to post, but then the software wouldn't let me. When I first started writing here, there was a prize for the best blog here (I won, go me!) Maybe the blogs were free back then for that...
So I'm trying modafinil, a very popular "nootropic", mentioned left and right in articles (The New Yorker, the Nature article on scientists who use mental performance enhancers). This is a bit of a departure for me and I feel a little strange about it. A friend of mine, who knows I am interested in nootropics, and who is also bipolar, gave me...
I haven't updated this in a while. I have lots of news!
1) I got another fitness assessment at the gym. Not as much progress as I'd like. I've obviously been becoming more muscular, as my chest circumference has increased a few inches, but my body fat % has stayed the same at around 15%. My "body age" is 35 years, which would seem...
