Considering that the choice of evolution or stagnation belongs to each of us, what practical advice would you give to La Spirale’s readers willing to improve their well-being, cognitive abilities, longevity, but also to be actively involved in the evolutionary scenarios previously evoked?I would advise readers to:
- be around other people with strong goals and healthy habits
- be dynamically optimistic (focus on positive opportunities and then make them happen)
- pay particular attention to the ways in which you think and decide. Regularly study and apply the principles of rational thinking (including being aware of standard biases). Make yourself read/listen to those with whom you most disagree.
- keep an eye on new advances, such as personal genetic testing, but focus on the crucial basics of regular exercise, healthy and moderate diet, adequate rest.
- get involved with an support the most practical projects with transhumanist goals, e.g., life extension initiatives.
- make your voice heard in comments sections of online newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc.
- stay flexible
Perhaps Max felt the need for a career change in his 40's. I can certainly understand that. Why not add "Run a cryonics organization" to your Lazarus Long List?
