Hi. I have a few projects that will help life extension. I’ll reveal two of them here and I’m hoping to receive some feedback on the second one.
If you want to talk more in-depth about any of these projects but prefer chatting instead of a forum, use our slack.
First one -> Crypto for Science
Open source code + website URL + description + developer documentation here: https://github.com/F...pto-For-Science
This platform allows anyone to ask for their scientific research to be funded through donations, with zero fees and no intermediaries. All the money go directly to them. The platform will never have any fees, and will never be monetized in any way.
I’d love to have a long term policy of featuring projects related to preventing healthcare and cognitive improvement, therefore do tell any researcher that needs funding to use our platform, and we’ll do our best to help them raise the funds.
The website is already accepting submissions, but they won't be approved for a few more days until we code more features and pentest it.
As a second avenue of positive impact, consider becoming a representative for your country
Especially, we need representatives in Algeria, Indonesia, Macau, Peru, Bahrain, Philippines, Iran, Georgia, Kazahstan and Mongolia, because these countries have a very low scientific research budget per capita.
Second one -> still not out of concept yet, but here’s my idea:
You have some filters on the left, where you select things that define a human being’s physiology: male/female, some measures of biological age, the way certain genes are expressed, etc.
Depending on the selections on the left, the human is shown certain advice backed by scientific consensus or debate, that he should follow in order to improve his health-span. An obvious example: use sun screen.
Now here are the cool parts:
- The entire website allows collaborative editing, both for filters and advice, and all edits have to be accompanied by very exact references (where you don't just name a paper, but you might also point to the content from a certain page and explain why it supports your claim).
- Any of the additions or removals can be selected by someone else as the start of a debate. Then, there will be a certain user class whose sole purpose is voting on who won the completed debates, and - depending on that - the website will only show "winning" information.
The more death-prone someone is, the higher risk/reward advice he’ll be shown.
When someone adds or modifies existing advice, he also has to set the filter values for which it is being shown. Those can be debated as well.
Again, the website would be open source and I have no plan on ever monetizing it. Please tell me if it's a good idea, how could we make it even better, if you would contribute as an editor, etc.
Someone just asked me what problem is it solving and this was my answer:
There's simply too much information in clinical research, and it's hard for the average human to discern what to apply in his own life, because much of this information is hard to understand, conflicting, dependent on certain traits of the human or left in the shadows of worse but more publicized information. This platform would basically become the ultimate repository of personalized advice, based on scientific research and debate. Would you contribute with well referenced information?
who is 'we' in this?
