You're not harsh enough. On life extension research, the article says: One way or another, Bennett told me, “We’re all holding hands and saying, ‘Forget that shit. Not going to happen.’” While that may apply to some or many people interested in life extension, to dismiss all research as useless, while claiming to need to "sense-make" around the "design experience" of death at "The Convening", yikes. I really hate attacking them personally, but their big idea was that someone might leave a letter for other people? Perhaps what they were missing was a study "how-might-we" of "empowering" people with a "hybrid digital-analog" death. Seriously, am I totally out of line here or is this an emperor lacking clothes scenario? If you hired these folks and they talked like that while billing you -- you just smile and go along with it? (The product idea is sound: I'd buy a dead mans switch product if it comes with a stackable, provable M-of-N secret system, maybe with plausible deniability (so my family can't be compelled to reveal secrets). Can't imagine that's a large market, though.)
