Saw this story today (pretty cool video by the way), and it made me think about ideas...ideas as to how Imminst can contribute to life extension research. In the back of my mind, thoughts have always been rumbling around as to how Imminst members could leverage their collective talent to help research along. Activism and outreach is our strong point, but maybe we can help with new medical/scientific discoveries. Sure we donated dirt samples to John and the lysoSENS project and many of us donate CPU cycles to folding@home or other relevant distributed computing projects, but it seems like there is something else, something unique, something beneficial to society (and to Imminst) that could be done. Could we help crunch data for specific projects? Could we help write and edit white papers? Could we use new web 3.0 applications and narrow AI in unforeseen new ways? I registered to beta test Twine with the thought that we could use it as an Imminst data tool. Not sure how we could integrate it with the site, but it looked useful. (still waiting for Radar Networks to set me up with a test version).
Anyway, in my previous blog entry I said don't be shy when you have an idea. Throw it out into the forums for everyone to look at. Maybe you have 20 ideas and 19 get shot down. Not to worry, its that 1 golden idea everyone will remember.
