Hi Bruce, I believe life is all about seeking experience. So my belief is that the singularity a) enables us to have longer/indefinite life spans with which to experience more. b) will allow us to experience so much more than our current human senses allow us. Of course I also think AGI is an amazing puzzle and will answer questions (and raise new ones) about self awareness, consciousness and intelligence. I also believe that humanity is currently heading towards collapse if some major changes don't happen soon - so if the singularity can help us survive I'm all for it! :) In summary I'd say life extension is only 25% of my interest in it. Hope that helps, Joel On 2/19/07, Bruce Klein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Lively discussion, including updates on Novamente here: http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=11&t=11197 Along these lines, I was wondering the general motivation / attitude of [singularity] list subscribers toward AGI as it relates to Life Extension. If interested, please answer: My Life Extension motivation is... - 100% of the reason why I'm interested in AGI+Singularity - somewhere between 0 and 100% AND / OR I'm interested in AGI+Singularity because I... - find AGI an interesting puzzle - want to save the world - want to ____ Thanks for playing!
