Re: Hello

Hi Andrew!

I too am interested in physical immortality… aptly called highlanderism. Unfortunately… there can be only one highlanderist. LOL! Just kidding.

If you are interested in philosophy and physical immortality, then you may like the philosophy of science in particular. There is a particular trend in bioethics right now that I find particularly interesting called transhumanism, which is basically the acceleration of evolution in humans by humans (like genetic engineering, etc.).

Hope to see you around the forum! You will definitely make friends here.

Re: Hello

Immo,

Immortality, well one way they say to at least increase your longevity is to decease your consumption, in fact limit it to survival levels, this is suppose to add years to your life, or will it just seem that way? At anyrate, your just in under the wire, our quota for Ukrainians was just about up----------just kidding!!!! We are very happy you have chosen to join us, make yourself at home. When you feel inclined you might respond to a thread of interest, or, post a new topic which you wish to explore. At anyrate Immo, again welcome to the forum!!!! boagie
