Writer. Reformed programmer. Antidrug mom helped by prescription ketamine. Worried about humanity, but will still smile at absurdity.
Furthermore, it seems human digitization and improvement would eliminate P (DOOM from ASI), since we would become ASI ourselves.

By contrast, if we digitize human consciousness, a person could choose their levels of happiness, rationality, & health. Such a person could obtain energy more efficiently, exist on hardware in more environments, participate in faster evolution, maintain backups, suffer less, and live indefinitely.

We often feel anxious & depressed to the point of dysfunction. We can be irrational. Our DNA mutates every time we go outside. We obtain energy inefficiently. We can only survive within incredibly small portions of our universe. We reproduce and evolve slowly. We fall apart. We suffer. We die.

As humans, let's finally move past the shit!

Sorry for shitposting.

Philanthropists, please consider joining others who are already supporting these efforts, as human survival might depend on it.

Neural preservation and digitization research is currently being done by Andy McKenzie at Apex Neuroscience, with philanthropic support from Jordan Sparks;
@kennethhayworth.bsky.social at the Brain Preservation Foundation; and others.

For now, we can improve humans the slow and hard way. However, a person might consider arranging to have their brain chemically preserved, such as by Oregon Brain Preservation, after "natural" death occurs. This might allow for eventual digitization followed by "waking up" in a virtual environment.

Such a person could exist on hardware in inhospitable environments, participate in faster evolution, maintain digital backups, suffer less, live as long as they choose, and get energy more efficiently--rather than having to rely on the inefficient sun>plants>animals chain, replete with all the shit.
