Sonia Arrison, 100+ CapitalSonia Arrison is a longevity investor via her company 100+ Capital, a women’s investor group called Portfolia, and advises BioVerge here in Silicon Valley. She also spends time helping the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI). She is helping A4LI streamline the political processes for advancing longevity research and therapies.When Sonia first moved to California from Canada in 1999, she helped educate congresspeople about the internet and digital technologies. She soon became interested in nanotechnology, and by extension the Foresight Institute. Her interests then turned toward longevity, and she began writing articles here and there about the topic. Peter Thiel convinced her to turn those articles into a book – “100+: how the coming age of longevity will change everything”.She was later pulled into a project with Ryan Bethencourt at IndieBio, becoming his first investor. That catalyzed her role as an angel investor in the longevity biotech space. Around that same time, she was involved in Singularity University. She realized how investable the longevity space had become, and rather than write yet another book she became a major investor in the longevity space.Session summary: Career Counseling with Sonia Arrison - Foresight InstituteThe Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies.

Should cryonics be our plan A for life extension? If so, how do you sign up to cryonics? In this episode of the podcast Emil Kendziorra and Max More answers all the most common (and uncommon) questions about signing up for cryonics. Emil Kendziorra received his doctoral degree in translational cancer research. Between 2009 and 2019 he founded, grew, and then sold multiple medical- and tech startups by himself. In the medical field, he founded MedLanes, a service that provides medical home visits at the press of a button, even during Covid times.Max More is a philosopher and futurist who writes, speaks, and consults on advanced decision-making about emerging technologies. He is the current Ambassador and President Emeritus (as of February 2021) after serving almost nine and a half years as president and CEO of Alcor Life Extension Foundation.The process of cryonics involves SST – standby stabilization and transport, which is the emergency response to death. Then the team removes as much blood as possible from the body because it contains a lot of water, and replaces it with a cryoprotectant solution. Rapid cooldown comes next, then slow cooldown to cool and freeze the body so it can be stored in cryogenic dewars.Session summary: Emil Kendziorra, Max More | Cryonics Sign-Up Q&A + Demo - Foresight InstituteThe Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies.

Chiara Marletto is a physicist at Oxford University, and the author of the book “The Science of Can and Can’t”, where she writes about the concept of counterfactuals and constructor theory.This is a new and different approach to physics where the idea is that the physics most of us are familiar with is mirrored in a way that is very limited. There is a large class of things that science has neglected, and according to this theory, there are questions of what is and isn’t possible, which could provide scientific explanations to many questions in the long run. Full transcript, list of resources, and art piece: Chiara Marletto | The Science of Can & Can’t (existentialhope.com)Existential Hope was created to collect positive and possible scenarios for the future, so that we can have more people commit to the creation of a brighter future, and to start mapping out the main developments and challenges that need to be navigated to reach it.

How can we better invest in Biotech?Christian is an entrepreneur and investor and the founder of Apeiron Investment Group. He is Cofounder and Chairman of the board at Rejuveron. Angermeyer believes that over the next 10-20 years longevity will be the centerpoint of health research. The longevity market is 100% of the population, and many of his rich friends would spend all of their money for extra years of quality life. Rejuveron, Angermeyer’s company, will only be one of a whole sector of companies focused on aging. Having a diverse portfolio of companies allows for cross pollination of ideas. Aging should be considered a disease. In the meantime, targeting standard diseases alongside aging is a good strategy. Having reliable biomarkers continues to be one of the top priorities in the near-term for moving aging into the clinical space. Rejuveron currently operates in clinical and preclinical areas. Translating aging research is difficult because amazing scientists are often not amazing drug development people.Angermeyer also spoke on neurotech, climate change, and cryptocurrency.

Foresight is exploring a DAO to fund progress in its core focus areas, e.g. by funding Foresight fellows and tech trees: Led by domain experts, and ultimately open for crowd-sourcing, we're building trees for challenges in longevity, atomically precise manufacturing, brain-computer interfaces, private ML, and asteroid mining. Long-term, these trees may integrate across domains, allowing different funders to chart desired paths through the tech forests.Our current plan is for researchers to submit challenges to make progress on their node. Entrepreneurs bid with project proposals. Domain-experts and funders decide what the DAO funds via reputation-weighed voting. This is a live recording from Foresight’s DeSci-session at ETH Denver.

“I coined the word ’eucatastrophe’: the sudden happy turn in a story which pierces you with a joy that brings tears...this is indeed how things really do work in the Great World for which our nature is made.” —JRR TolkienAvoiding existential catastrophe is a critical necessity, but so is avoiding stasis and locking in the existentially wasteful status quo. Cotton-Barratt and Ord used Tolkien’s term to suggest that ”an existential eucatastrophe is an event which causes there to be much more expected value after the event than before.” In this episode, of the podcast David Manheim, 2021 Foresight Fellow in Positive Long Term Futures and a visiting professor at the Technion focusing on long-term risks and future prospects for humanity talks about the definition of eucatastrophe, historical examples of these, increasingly dynamic civilizational stability, and much more.

Our civilization is made up of countless individuals and pieces of material technology, which come together to form institutions and interdependent systems of logistics, development and production. These institutions and systems then store the knowledge required for their own renewal and growth.Samo Burja is a sociologist and the founder of Bismarck Analysis, a firm that analyzes institutions, from governments to companies. His research work focuses on the causes of societal decay and flourishing. He writes on history, epistemology and strategy.History shows us we are not safe from institutional collapse. Advances in technology mitigate some aspects, but produce their own risks. Agile institutions that make use of both social and technical knowledge not only mitigate such risks, but promise unprecedented human flourishing.This episode of the podcast investigates this landscape, evaluates our odds, and tries to plot a better course.Music: I Knew a Guy by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Session Summary: New Strengthening Civilization video and "How-to": create positive futures - Foresight Institute The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies.
