As if we already don't have perfectly stupid sub-intelligent algorithms ruining lives, causing destruction. But those algorithms are owned by wight people, so that's apparently okay.

It's like wight people — or, really, wight bois — are secretly terrified that their malevolent rule will be supplanted by beings that are just as cruel as them.

In a way, this foolishness culminates in Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment so fucking frightening that it gives very clever people the night sweats and nightmares. Very clever, privileged people.

A movement: BetterHumans is the world’s “first transhumanist research organization,” according to James Clement, who runs it. With funds from wealthy elderly men he knows, he is independently exploring drugs known to extend the healthy life span of rodents. He extrapolates what a suitable human dose might be, and then finds people who will take them.

It’s personal: Clement has had heart issues and serious falls. But transhumanists think it’s worth experimenting on themselves using vitamins, prescription cancer drugs, and other compounds. After all, who wouldn’t want to reach 110?

Not so crazy: Lately the idea of living longer, maybe a lot longer, seems more realistic. As biologists uncover the fundamental facts of life, even ivory-tower academics now claim they know what the molecular “hallmarks” of aging are.
