If you want to get into advocacy for indefinite life extension a bit more then lets keep a discussion on it moving in this topic here. Why do you want to get into advocacy for indefinite life extension?
Let us also create a list of top 5 advocacy concepts for people to digest here, and then we'll post it when we have enough votes. The current "Guide to getting through to fence sitters, skeptics, the uninformed and the pro aging trancists" can be a bit daunting and hard to digest to newcomers and others.
The poll choices are between the ways to get through to people that are listed here: http://www.longecity...the-uninformed/
The only way I think you can properly advocate life extension is to become a scientist and help with the research. Telling non scientific people about this cause is just pointless in my opinion as most people don't have the in built intelligence or foresight to be able to see how important this cause is. And even among scientific people there are many just don't realize how important this cause is when you tell them about it.
I am actually doing something and I am going to university in september and I hope to intern at an aging research lab or something.
If you are going to try to persuade people to join this cause it would be a much better use of time to convince as many young budding scientists in universities all over the world to make their career based on aging research.
The more scientists there are working on the cure to aging the more legitimate this cause will be in the eyes of average non scientific people.
Longecity could have scholarship funds. Longecity could help advertise the SENS acedemic initiative. What do you think of these ideas Brokenportal?
