Dear friends, since lately I had to continue mainly myself, probably you are very bussy in your exams etc, so I consulted with Ilia and accordingly decided to register a domain name which will not carry the title immortality, since in Israel there is an active movement who carry that name and they believe that by faith alone they can achieve immortality and we think it is better for us not to be associated with them. so the title preferred was longevity and by checking I choose the title super-longevity.org which i registered and paid for. i decided to not to choose the il suffix, since it much more costly. you know that we have applied to WTA World Transhumanist Association to host our website [see below] stressing our longevity, immortality and our own creativity and got that reply today:
On Mon, 20 Mar 2006 19:15:45 -0300, "Marcelo Rinesi"
follow is the content of a reply i intend to send to Marcelo Rinesi who is in charge of WTA website. if somebody have any objection let me know soon.
i think our Hebrew name should be as suggested:
העמותה הישראלית לאריכות ואיכות חיים.
אך בהתחלה לפני רישום עמתה נסתפק בשם האירגון הישראלי לאריכות..
Thank you Marcelo Rinesi. i am happy to hear that. i have already registered domain name: "super-longevity.org" this name is chosen since we in israel think we can reach to people through longevity meme and continue with more encompassing transhumanism. also the flyer i have prepared to distribute is titled - "live long enough to live forever - longevity and beyond, what the forthcoming technolgies have in store for you"
if we affiliated to WTA we will wholeheartedly identify ourselves with it and since we are hosted in WTA server all the links etc will go faster. there is another option that we will have domain name like trashumanism.org.il etc, but people here think, including myself that longevity meme is helpfull in reaching out to first timers. also 99.99% of the people here never heard about transhumanism, but many more heard about longevity and the Israelis in general are very practical, they will tend to ask - how is that applied to me? Moreover , most of our participants come from ImmInst.il but certainly we all are open to the whole range transhumanism and even singularitarianism as integral part of our organization.
