    Bill Gates may simply have different climate targets than people whose interest isn't in seeing farmland get decimated. Getting very 👁️ but I'm curious if the land he's bought is in more climate resiliant locations.

      When you own land everywhere, you don't really need to discriminate.

      What is your own plan for immortality? My first plan is to stay alive, therefore reaching longevity escape velocity. I take about 80 pills a day to help keep me healthy. Cryogenic freezing is the fallback. I’m also intending to create a replicant of myself [an afterlife AI avatar], which is an option I think we’ll all have in the late 2020s. I did something like that with my father, collecting everything that he had written in his life, and it was a little bit like talking to him. [My replicant] will be able to draw on more material and so represent my personality more faithfully.

      I know all about this guy
