They won’t come here. Too boring.

Our local school just collapsed from lack of people. Farmer have tools now that work so well they just don’t need that many people here. We’re running each other out of business. It’s crazy.

People will pile up in the cities where things are closer to their homes. We drive 30 miles to buy things.

It’s possible to turn every acre of land into New York City, and do vertical farming. In Europe, draining the Mediterranean sea ‘Atlantropa’ opens up a lot of space as well. I’m not saying there isn’t a lot of space on Earth, especially vertically and underground and in the sea, but you’re not thinking far enough.

I’m sure by the time we have figured out immortality, we’ll figure out where to put the people.

They are defining hard endpoints in three systems.

I would like to put together a team based around my own hypotheses. (This includes the use of rapamycin, but is much broader than that.) At the moment their website is not working that well and i have not yet managed to register. I am open to adding serious biohackers to my team. I have not yet decided exactly how to run this, but i think i will probably have openings for people who want to participate but not invest in an entry as well as those who wish to put funds towards the costs of entry.

It has to be a clinical trial I am pretty sure, with randomization.

“FAQ: How are trial subjects sourced?
Our teams are ultimately responsible for recruiting and operating their own clinical trials, using our common framework, protocols, data management system, and reporting structures. They will obtain their own regulatory approvals, medical oversights, and will be responsible for enrolling and randomizing research participants. Most Clinical Centers are likely to encourage anyone to volunteer or undergo screening to participate in a trial. XPRIZE can provide a clinical trial volunteer registry list to help interested persons identify Competing Teams and Clinical Centers in their region.”

I have now managed to solve the technical problem I had with their website (oddly enough by registering on Edge rather than Chrome) and have created a team.

I am quite happy to feed back to Rapamycin.news as to how things progress. Obviously it will be necessary to demonstrate success by the standards of Xprize.

I think I see the team now “Biohacking to improve everyone’s health” in the U.K.

Yes. I thought that was a reasonable name to use. Obviously if people want to work with me they do not have to live in the UK.

There are 22 on the list at the moment.

I am not sure how you are accessing the list, but when people are logged in to their server they can get my name.

Having looked at that without logging in you cannot get anything more than the location and name of teams.
