when i think of lifeboat, i think of a redundant system for preserving homo sapiens sapiens….like hawkins backup earth or a cryostasis bank for human germlines.
this lifeboat is more like OSHA for humanity..a lot of picky little rules for workplace protection.
might keep homo sapiens sapiens from cuttin off a finger in a workplace accident, but not from gettin a safe dropped on you.

Very imagiative stuff. Check out the Lifeboat Advisory Boards. Ray Kurzweil, James Hughes, Eliezer Yukowsky, Ben Goertzel — the list goes on and on — all luddites and part of a conspiracy to support a conservative anti-science agenda.

Now where’s my tinfoil hat?

i think Lifeboat is just a stalking horse for “Life”.

Nanotech IS biotech.

The only way to safeguard humanity from technology is with better technology.
