@sarahdoingthing What's your take on this Nick Bostrom fable of conquering death/longevity research, re: your work? http://www.nickbostrom.com/fable/dragon.html …
@sarahdoingthing You don't find the centralized dragon-metaphor and magic-bullet metaphor are scientifically off a little?

@vgr Oh I meant longevity/immortality/uploading research in general - not referring to hellsims! hold on will read -
@sarahdoingthing Listening right now. Very good stuff. Your book and Gawande's mortality book are high on my list now for unrelated reasons

@vgr one problem is figuring out how to distinguish the dragon from ourselves (if that is even possible) -
@sarahdoingthing Yes. I had a whole bunch of problems with the fable's structure even before deciding what to think about the moral thesis - Show replies
