@nfd not saying mushky smort but he's a well calculated risk taker. and gambling always ends well 🙃#softbank #gutcheck but earnestly, fella has the best chance at anyone alive today at #immortality
ps yr better read than me i'm just spicin up the #hottake
@k9d oh, he's definitely got a way better chance than myself. after all, he's got tens of billions of dollars and he spends his time paying people to try to find a way to huck him to mars and give him implantable brain-machine interfaces. i'm halfway surprised i haven't heard of him just mailing Aubrey De Gray a check for a quarter-billion and saying "go nuts"
all that's well and good, but it's not going to Save Humanity, even if Musk gets stunningly lucky
@k9d you can totally tell that Musk has read FM-2030's whole transhumanism checklist and took his messages to heart.
"Conventional names define a person's past: ancestry, ethnicity, nationality, religion. I am not who I was ten years ago and certainly not who I will be in twenty years. [...] The name 2030 reflects my conviction that the years around 2030 will be a magical time. In 2030 we will be ageless and everyone will have an excellent chance to live forever. 2030 is a dream and a goal."
FM-2030 died in 2000 (69 years old, not 100). I don't know about you, but I don't think we've quite made it to being ten years out from agelessness and living forever quite yet. We've got the same old obstacles from when he first changed his name, too: warring, heat dissipation, and the like
@nfd 𝖑𝖔𝖑 indeedy it's the $ and insanity that got 𝖒𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖞𝖒𝖚𝖘𝖍𝖐 in the seat to infinity. i'm on tao myself here and now is the richest 
we've got to milk any quality outta.
but also kinda sad when you see the failed playbook an... rilly? 𝓰𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓼 is grounded but ready for someone to blow me outta the water on that.
@k9d yeah, gates spends his time trying to actually Save Humanity. way better Quality-Adjusted Life Year ROI on vaccines and malaria interventions in the developing world than purely-theoretical brain chips for a handful of non-theoretical billionaires anyday
y'all can call me a revisionist if you really want, but I sincerely think post-MS Gates is trying to do his best for the world, and he thinks he can get better social ROI with his Foundation than the world would get if he was taxed as much as he thinks he should. With the likes of the world leaders we're seeing, i'm sure not convinced he's wrong.
shame not too many of 'em Rich Fuckers are that similar to Gates in this way. he does the math
