I agree.

Nope. The smartest minds today need to work on two topics: AI/AGI, and anti-aging/longevity
Once these two problems are cracked, we'd be on a smoother transition path towards Type-1 Kardashev civilization.
Then the smartest (long-living) minds can sit down with their favorite AGI collaborators in their ivory towers and have all the fun they want to have.
- arcticfox 6y agoAlthough another 'Einstein' making breakthroughs is totally possible, AGI gives me a lot of solace as a sort of back-up plan. If we have indeed hit some type of human wall, AGI at least gives us some long term option to potentially leap it. I'm not sure how much longevity research would help on that front, given the age distribution of scientists making breakthroughs, but it's nice in its own right.
- fizixer 6y agoThe longevity is really healthful and youthful longevity, not longevity for its own sake. I recommend looking into longevity forums, SENS foundation, Aubrey de Grey talks, etc, etc.
