If there are amny people here, who use some strategy for suppressing some aging change, and other, who do not want to use exactly this strategy, we can make a study for the effect of the strategy.
For example, if many females here use on daily basis anti wrinkles cremes, and if they are willing to do that, we can do the following: Photos of a wrinkle or wrinkles of some part of the face can be photograped - not the whole face ; the photos can be taken even with a gsm camera - and compared after periods of time usage of a creme brand, like creme 1 after one week, after two weeks, after two months. On that way will be understood if the cremes work at all and which brand is the best. People, who have wrinkles and do not want to use cremes, may photograph their wrinkles and the changes of their wrinkles to be compared with the changes of the wrinkles of the people, who have used creme. On this way can be understood if the cremes have an effect over the wrinkles, or not. Since the people, who are using the strategy use it anyway and the people who do not use it - do not use it anyway noone looses nothing. But the result can be of benefit for all participants.
What could be done if a member of a wrinkle project is going to experiment with one new ingredient
for an anti-wrinkle creme? Perhaps someone could become aware about a plant substance which has been proven good
for the skin and mixes it into one of the cremes only to get better wrinkle treatment? So in case it will become a project and the benefit
for all participants must be prioritized, we do not want that someone is patenting the new mixture and makes a profit with it without other participants gaining profits too. So the best would be to open up a blog called DID which stands
for Durable Idea Discussion. There should be the durability of all sorts of ideas supportive to immortality, like the idea of engineered negligible senescence de Grey and his colleges revealed in "Time to Talk SENS: Critiquing the Immutability of Human Aging"
http://www.kronoslab...1/deGreyAD3.pdf 2002, New York Academy of Science.
Everyone who is testing a specific creme or a new mixture should publish something about the ingredients on the above mentioned DID blog. Some details of patent law require expert knowledge I could not learn. Nevertheless, it seems to me that if a blog member is trying to patent a new mixture, other blog participants could probably act against it by telling a patent authority that this would be against the terms and conditions of the project. So I believe important things
for the durability of life should be in the public domain.
Perhaps something like DID exists and I have not found it yet, there are two related pages: www.halfbakery.com and www.ideablob.com while the latter site has not opened up when I tried to access it today. So it seems to be gone with bankruptcy as
http://amysampleward...ob-says-goodbye has announced it. The blogs on Longecity seem to be much suitable
for single individuals and not so much
for groups, so someone has to create a new one somewhere. Would that be all right?
