[extropy-chat] Pure Gossip: Who will Anders marry?

[Hughes, James J.]

Perhaps, Robert, to get the ball rolling, you should tell us your sexual
preference, mating behavior and breeding pattern just to get the ball
rolling.

For myself I'm a Kinsey 2, married once and with this wife for the last
26 years, with two children 10 and 13. I plan to have more after
rejuvenation but will gladly offer my genome to anyone interested in
using it in the meantime.

More seriously, I wrote about marriage and longevity a while ago in
Betterhumans:

The broader issue of the relative fertility rates of seculars (low)
versus the highly religious (high) should concern all transhumanists. As
a culture and movement, however, I suspect we should prioritize memetic
reproduction over genetic - more bang for the buck. After all
reproduction also reduces longevity.

As to finding places to gossip, bring it to the Transvision conferences.
Next one will be in Chicago July 26-28, 2007, with Kurzweil and de Grey
as keynotes.
