I was reading through this again since Caliban has upgraded the action section of the forums.
It occurs to me at this time that maybe a fundraiser through imminst for research in general is in order. The funds collected through it would be dedicated to research projects like sens, program theory work, agi work, nano tech and stem cell work, etc..
On that subject, Im hoping to get some more ideas flowing about expanding research options we can support directly besides sens. I cant name any specifically. Im hoping we can get some more detailed projects for program theory we can more directly suport, and then just more of everything in general also.
Lazarus Long has an idea for a prize for the development of the best experiments that I think is a great idea. Im sure most of us cant wait to see that move along.
What I envision is maybe sets of columns where we can continue to work out ways to add peer reviewed strategies for combatting the sens seven to the lists, and sense options to the list. Im not sure exactly but I think that sense stands for Strategies for Evolutionary Negligible Senescence Engineering, or something similar.
