Large chunk to SENS.org Foundation for research into the diseases of human aging.
Large chunk to Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (http://singinst.org/ http://singinst.org/) because we need to work seriously on existential risks, include the ones posed by AGI (we need a theory of Friendly AI to make sure that when/if we develop artificial general intelligence, we can be as sure as possible that its goals are going to align with ours). All we'll have achieved so far will prove to have been futile if we go extinct because of <insert threat here> (super-virus, asteroid, supervolcano, nanotech gone wrong, AI gone wrong, nuclear holocaust, etc).
- JoshTriplett 15y agoSeconded. We need to fix bug #1 in humans, rather than trying to cope with its many symptoms one by one.
