[extropy-chat] Cryonicist Harry Braun for President

[Giu1i0 Pri5c0]

Alcor member, Harry Braun, is on the ballot in several states for president
of the U.S.A. Harry Braun is an energy analyst and author of The Phoenix
Project: Shifting from Oil to Hydrogen (phoenixproject.net). The following
paragraphs are taken from his site "Harry Braun for President".
Harry has worked as an energy and environmental analyst for the past 30
years, and is the Chairman and CEO of Sustainable Partners LLC, a systems
integration firm that is involved in a number of renewable energy projects,
including the development of a $180 million wind farm project in New Mexico.
Harry received a Bachelors degree from Arizona State University in 1971. His
undergraduate work was in history and general science, while his graduate
work focused on anthropology and evolutionary biology. His post graduate
research has been in the areas of energy technologies and resources, as well
as the on-going developments in molecular biology, protein engineering and
nanotechnology. Harry ran for Congress in 1984 against John McCain. He is
Chairman of the Hydrogen Political Action Committee (h2pac.org) and author
of the proposed Fair Accounting Act legislation. Harry's religious views are
based on an understanding of molecular biology. Harry is member of Alcor
(alcor.org), a non-profit cryobiology laboratory that freezes and cares for
people when they die in the hope that they can be regenerated in the future,
with all of their past memories, into a biocybernetic "designer gene" era.
To avoid the oblivion scenario and hopefully secure a pollution-free utopian
future of biochips and designer genes, Harry Braun is committed to shifting
from fossil and nuclear fuels to a solar hydrogen economy with wartime-speed
(i.e., by 2010). Given the exponential nature of the global energy and
environmental problems, it is much later that most people think. We are all
like passengers on the Titanic, and there is little time left to change
course. Analyst and author Harry Braun has the new heading, but only the
American public can initiate this rapid "transition of substance" by
electing Harry Braun as President of the United States.
The exponential developments in molecular biology and computer science will
soon make a biological transition to renewable resources inevitable. It is
not a question of whether --but when. In the Chapter called Utopia: From
Here to Eternity, The Phoenix Project reviews a "utopia" scenario that
extrapolates the exponential advances in computers, molecular biology and
nanotechnology. Cloning is only the beginning of this era of molecular
medicine that will develop "biochips" and "designer genes." These rapidly
developing nanotechnology developments will not only delete the biological
mechanisms of aging and disease, but they will allow individuals to
reprogram their genetic structure -- at will -- with atomic (i.e. atom by
atom) precision. The result will be the evolution of a new species, Homo
Immortalis, that will develop an Immortalist culture and institutions that
will be based on individuals having unlimited life spans.
