The Immortal Interviews

Interviews hosted by Future Wikia for a possible infinite lifespan. People are getting interviewed by Jonathan Despres or anybody else. The goal with the interviews is to preserve them forever and give to these people a better gatheway in front of everybody. Topics include (but not limited to): life extension, immortalism, cryonics, nanotechnology, molecular manufacturing, extropy, transhumanism, futurism, artificial intelligence, engineering, information technology, communication, space, megascale engineering, singularity, scientific progress, brain enhancements, space tourism, biotechnology, robotics, mind uploading, production, capitalism, economic freedom, health, modernism, existentialism, wars, metaverse, simulated reality, solipsism etc...

More interviews from leaders (or anybody else) in various fields will come on this page. Stay tuned and thanks to read!
