Joi Ito's
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IMMORTALITY: WELCOME TO THE NEW TRANSHUMANISM
Here's the MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito's article on longevity I mentioned re the promise of gene editing research and longevity - https://web.archive.org/web/
"He is currently experimenting with age reversal in dogs using gene therapy that has been successful in mice, a technique he believes is the most promising of nine broad approaches to mortality and aging—genome stability, telomere extension, epigenetics, proteostasis, caloric restriction, mitochondrial research, cell senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and intercellular communication."

The Future of Xapiens -
Xapiens at MIT was live.
about 4 months ago ·
On March 7th, 2019 Xapiens, MIT's first initiative for human augmentation, brought together titans of science, innovation and engineering, intellectuals and industry leaders to imagine, envision and discuss the future of Homo Sapiens.
We were happy to welcome Pattie Maes, Max Tegmark, David Sinclair, George Church, Ed Boyden, and Joe Paradiso for a series of lectures and a panel discussion.
The future of our species will be majorly influenced by the technical advancements and ethical paradigm shifts over the next several decades. Artificial intelligence, neural enhancement, gene editing, solutions for aging and interplanetary travel, and other emerging technologies are bringing sci-fi’s greatest ideas to reality.

Koi: Longevity, MIT Media Lab - "eternal youth, eternal old age, or ...," You might enjoy this UPDATED article by MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito about "Transhumanism," Angela and Victor's Yoga over the decades, You'll also find both Gary Snyder and the former Reed President Colin Diver, and some Reed faculty - ie Carla Mann (Dance Prof.), with whom I stayed with (and who was a housemate for about 2.5 years in the early 1980s)

Dear Lynn, Angela, Victor and Satya!
Dartington Hall is so very beautiful, Angela! Wonderful that you'll be teaching there together, Victor and Satya!
And you're teaching there on Bastille Day no less - http://www.angela-victor.com/
I had a look around in Google Streetview here in the photos too - https://www.google.com/maps/
It's so old too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
And it hosts the Schumacher College - https://www.schumachercollege.
It looks too like its possible at the Schumacher College - https://www.schumachercollege.
Wish I could be there, but MIT OpenCourseWare-centric and wiki World University and School, which I'm developing, is still in the poor house ... one of these days, our fortunes will change ... and voila, further Yoga learning world-wide too.
Happy teaching in Dartington Hall! (It would be nice to see you again, Satya!) And nice to see you Lynn last week in Yakima, Washington, on my way from Reed College to eastern Oregon to visit family. 3 Harbin-inspired books so far - https://amazon.com/author/
Warm regards, Scotty
