excellent idea! Does anyone have a link to the video of the presentation he gave, or any other ones he has given? I am interested now.Calvin Mercer, PhD. is a religious scholar who gave a brilliant talk at the Alcor conference on how to hijack conservative memes to make conservatives support life-extension research. Also see a summary I wrote on the Alcor blog.

Great work Mind!Unfortunately, I could not get a guest scheduled soon enough this week to promote the chat so this Sunday's time slot is empty. However, we do have some exciting guests coming up. Dr. Gordie Rose of D-Wave (Quantum Computing), Dr. Ronald Klatz of A4M, Dr. Calvin Mercer (religious scholar and life extension supporter), Mondey - Imminst Member (Stem Cell Researcher) plus Ben Goertzl and Bruce Klein. So stay tuned.

So how about we take this opportunity to get to know the new ED better?
Why don't we just call for a general membership meeting and invite all interested members to come ask questions about the direction of the Institute, leadership (you, the candidates, etc), our current organizational status and finally to get to know one another better?

All the greatest works of humankind are the result of team work even when individual genius created the opportunity.

I would prefer that we not include purveyors of pseudoscience. While that may be entertaining (NOT! ) we should stick with, at worst, guests at the fringe. There is already a fine line between the fringe and pseudoscience; inviting obvious pseudoscience-related speakers would only serve to confuse our message and mission.

What about Kelsey Moody of http://www.mfuri.org/ ?
Fantastic idea. I second this request. What is going on up at ASU is inspiring.

I wouldn't know anyone in particular, but it would be very interesting to discus with LE opponents.
I second this, Ide like to see like, a sunday debate at 3pm cst time everyday. We could try to schedule a higher profile person as an opponent each week, but if not we could just find anybody willing to do it. We would need a panel of debate judges though. Does anybody here know the rules of judging a debate?

Saul Kent.
His mom was Dora Kent for crying out loud. He is as far as I know an investor in 21st Century Medicine and possibly Suspended Animation Inc. He was a co-founder of the Life Extension Foundation and proposed the construction of that Timeship building. I think he could be an extremely interesting guest to have on if anyone can convince him to come out from behind those sunglasses. I think we could use some inspiration towards greater entrepreneurship around here and he might be just the guy to help with that.

In one of their most recent papers they state: "We have shown that moderate, adult onset DR can attenuate sarcopenia in a nonhuman primate model". All of that is of great interest to many people in this forum. May be Weindruch or any of his coworkers would be willing to talk about what they are doing and answer questions.

That guy has some interesting thoughts on ways to live longer, he presented his stuff at the CR conference a few years back, he also has been part of panels with longevity/health experts on several occasions too.
Also I like the idea of trying to get Weindruch on the show too!

Here are two videos I thought were great. I was wondering if you thought it would be a good idea to put some of these folding videos into the ustream loop.

Dr. Cynthia Kenyon, longevity nematode researcher, she personally follows a very low carb atkins style diet as she claims it is her best chance to replicate the findings of her research. She wants to live to 150 +. She tried CR but couldn't deal with the hunger so she has stuck to very low carb. She definitely practices what she preaches/researches.

I'll send an invite to Kenyon. I didn't know she was on the low carb diet.
Yeah she is a big low carber. Just google carbohydrates and kenyon, she says the day the figured out that adding sugar to nematodes diets greatly reduced lifespan and limiting their access to carbohydrates greatly increased it she stopped eating sugar. A google search of Dr. Cynthia Kenyon and Carbohydrates yields a lot of stuff on her personal regimen. Basically low carb. Meats, cheese, eggs, leafy greens, nuts and some berries.... My kind of girl

Marc Geddes
Based on what I read about him in Marc Geddes essay in "The Scientific Conquest of Death" I would love to see an interview with Neil Gillman. I copied the part on it below.
"RELIGION
Some people may object to the quest for immortality on
religious grounds. It is argued that extremely long life is somehow
un- natural, that it is ‘against God’s plan’. Yet some of the
strongest allies of the quest for immortality may come from
those of Jewish faith. In Judaism the primary metaphor for
God is that “God is Life”. Judaism may be the religion most
250
An Introduction to Immortalist Morality
compatible with ‘immortalist morality’. At a 1999 conference
on life extension, Rabbi Neil Gillman had this to say:
There is nothing redemptive about death. Death is
incoherent. Death is absurd.
The rabbi was asked if Jewish tradition would endorse prolonging
human life for twenty years. “Yes”, answered the rabbi.
Forty years? “Yes.” One hundred years? “Yes.” He regarded
the indefinite prolongation of life as a moral good. [7]"
