LONGECITY

A friend just messaged me telling me there was a documentary on TV that was about immortality. I sorta figured it was another gathering of doctors that have passed 60 and haven't discovered the Internet yet, causing them to engage in the spawning of horribly obsolete knowledge and the parroting of bogus assumptions about the impossibility of immortality.

I was pleasantly surprised, however, to see none other than Aubrey de Grey in the flesh on my TV screen.

I just thought I'd mention it, because I'm happy that this stuff is now getting in the mainstream. I didn't think that would happen until years later.

great to hear. Do you live in the Netherlands?

Yeah. I'm 100% cheese, man. I'm a Dutchy!

Another recent article about Aubrey.

Nice to know that the immortality idea is being spread also over there [tung] that means I would have found it even if I wouldn't come to Israel...

Heh reminds me- I walked with an ImmInst undershirt today to school and finally people noticed. Heh I attained lots of interesting conversations and I seem to advertise ImmInst very well everyone over started asking questions and found it quite interesting actually. Hopefully they'll take a look at the site. Even the teachers asked me about it and much older students intermingled to my argues too...

One of the problems is that most are not possibly arranged well with English and prefer to not even try...

But- it seem to improve. [thumb]

Infernity... what does that T-shirt look like? Does it have the full name ("Immortality Institute") AND full URL (imminst.org) on there?

Sounds to me like you're a walking billboard for this site.

Well Jay, it has the Uniform Resource Locator and the symbol...
But Since 8th grade is learning in computers class (1 computer for a couple)- they all know what I am doing. But now- they've seen I am having also the shirt and that made them really interest...
Heh I am sure that few of them took the time to get into the site )
Heh Yes I am advertising it.
I suppose all the school knows I am an immortalist [tung] (and a metalist lol)

I suppose all the school knows I am an immortalist [tung] (and a metalist lol)

What is a metalist? I don't see any google results on it... Some kind of alchemic belief or something?
Unless you mean... meta-list (in which case I'm still confused)... or... medalist?

Well sorry for the confusion, well I think I spelled it correctly- metalist. One who listens to metal music. Well I am not sure that this word exist though... heh well- I love metal music to simply clear this up for you...

If you listen to Metal music or most heavy kind of music people consider you a whole different kind of species

lol

Hmm, maybe metalhead, but I'm not sure if that's quite what you were going for with metalist...

Is this the shirt?

If so, it's good to know the logo is starting minds to think.

Could we get a copy of the documentary in mpg format? Or at least the portion that de Grey was in?

Ha ha... well I guess that's another thing we have in common, Infernity.

I'm a bonified metalhead too, although you wouldn't be able to tell by my appearance.

I like Children of Bodom, Nirvana, but also Metallica. Especially Metallica's live performances from around 1990 are top-notch.

I jam the guitar myself too.


@jaydfox: I have no means to convert the tv stream to a file. The program will be rerun on saturday, though. I might watch it, if I don't forget about it. I could then tell you what's been said.

From the fragment I've seen, I think Aubrey was telling the viewers what we hi-tech Internetguys already know.

Matt, heh who cares?! [tung]
And that's in Hebrew- I understood

Jay D F, what do you mean?

Bruce, yep that's it!

Jay T A, great to know! try Soilwork and In Flames- they are the best!!! [thumb]

Couldnt you just record it onto dvd-r then ripp it and make it a divx or something..

Thanks for the tip Infernity. Perhaps I'll make a video of me banging it on with my new cheap-ass webcam, and send it to you.

Hehe, well Jay I am looking forward to see that [lol]

Yours truthfully
~Infernity

I'll send ya the links.

no DVR?

Nope.

VCR we had broke down years after I stopped using it intensely. I used to record anything I thought that had a remote chance of being cool.

Growing up... I lost the need to record anything at all. If I want a movie, I'll download it. TV sucks. Why watch TV at all? I play games.

Jay, I agree TV is a waste of time, heh but I suppose games too... [sweat]

Guess this is off topic, sry:

TV is like the internet a waste of time if you don't know how to use it. TV is a valuable source of information to me. So is the internet.
