Shortform #128 Organizing for Immortality

Thank you to everyone who read and/or commented on Have you considered getting rid of death?! Your thoughts, resources, and support are welcomed :)

I've reflected on that post, discussions I had with others about it, and the comments, plus my current life circumstances: I have a small amount of time slack but zero financial slack, so what is the highest value added work I can put forth towards the bigger immortality project? Organizing, I think.

I intend to read, write, and produce original research for that project, but those things take time to do well and acquire subject matter expertise. I can and will write about the objections I listed in my post, some thoughts on governance, and then really spend more time reading & discussing research. However, there are a lot of possible cause areas within the overall / bigger immortality project, and I want to build a community around working on those. Immortality organizing here I go! Expect announcements about those efforts here soon (within about a week or less).

I missed my shortform yesterday, I am acknowledging that I missed it but am moving on. Dwelling on that won't help anything. I'm very happy that I wrote my shortform today :)
