In the past I would write Wikipedia or translate libre software. Now I would work on developing Wikimedia and longevity organizations. Especially the engineered longevity have a huge future societal impact.
I'm confused, why did you halt wikipedia writing and move on to wikimedia/longevity orgs(What are these?)? I'm also curious to see if you could expound on that last part too please
I am always seeking how to provide most societal impact with my work. Writing Wikipedia is cool and useful. But as a one person I can only do so much work and only about topics that I am knowledgeable about. Wikipedia needs much more and better content, and of wider range of topics.
So I have founded an organization that helps other volunteers to write Wikipedia. The intention is that by doing so, at the end I help Wikipedia grow faster than just by my own writing. Organisation, if done right, has much bigger impact (even per capita) than an individual.
For similar reason I am thinking about founding a new organization focused on supporting longevity research and public awareness. I mean advanced medical therapies to extent healthy lifespan at least by many decades.
When thinking about what is going to have biggest impact on human lives in next decades, there are several things. One of them is the option to (if one decide so) live in hight vitality well beyond the age 100. Imagine hitting 80 with health of 40, or hitting 150 with health of 50. Sciencista are already working on that, and current people under 30, maybe even under 40, will quite probably have the option to take such therapies and possibly live a very, very (possibly indefinite, but finite) live. This will change a lot of thing in society as many current social contracts stay on the premise of leaving to pension in 65 and checking out at 85. You may be interested in !longevity@mander.xyz.
