The artist also known as Stairs.

Born in Nevada, raised in Colorado, living in Texas, honorary Oregonian.

Established October 2, 1993.

In the realm of dreams, the Na'ruch species from the world of Oouma. How relevant is this? Well, practicing lucid dreaming and/or astral projection, if one considers there to be a distinction between the two, can yield great benefits.

That said, I would like to state that I am open to discussion on any topic whatsoever. I will respond to any messages that I receive, and will never block anyone, no matter what. My Discord is Stairs#6647; feel free to message me at any time about anything, and I mean absoultely anything, no mater how bizarre or inappropriate you think it may be.

Now then, in lieu of more traditional profile text, I shall instead follow with this:

Humanity have long been in unanimous agreement that dying sucks. We've been perpetually dissatisfied with being confined to a state of mortality, and that's never been more apparent than now in 2020, as people around the world have taken unprecedented measures in an effort to curtail the spread of respiratory infection, in partucular, to save the lives of the elderly and immunocompromised, who are most likely to perish from such disease.

In 2019, I stated, almost jokingly, that the 2020s would bring about a cultural revolution in the form of "a declared war upon death itself". Looking back, it seems that this was not entirely inaccurate. However, I feel that the steps that are being taken are far too little; akin to patching up a leaking dam with a piece of Scotch tape.

It is quite apparent to me that humanity will never be content so long as people continue to die in any fashion; for many so claim to believe in some form of afterlife, yet very few seem to act as if such a thing will truly be experienced after death.

With the explosive proliferation of technological development in recent history, with machinations that people only a century ago would have never imagined could exist now serving as commonplace household items, it seems entirely possible that the antiquated pursuit of immortality could very well become a reality in the near future.

If you're interested in not dying, as most people seem to be, I urge you to take a look at the SENS Research Foundation. Per their FAQ:

"SENS is an acronym that stands for Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence. It is the formal name for the way SENS Research Foundation develops therapies for the diseases and disabilities of aging.

Negligible Senescence is a term originally coined by Dr. Caleb Finch of the University of Southern California. It refers essentially to a condition in which senescence (the progressive slide into sickness and frailty with age) is negligible — that is, so small as to not merit consideration. He used this phrase to describe animals like the rockfish, lobster, and hydra, which simply do not seem to senesce. No matter how long these creatures are studied, they seem to have the same physical capacities. Moreover, their risk of death remains constant, rather than progressively increasing as a result of age-related pathologies – because those pathologies simply do not develop.

Humans, meanwhile, do not naturally possess 'negligible senescence', and our bodies are so differently configured from those of the rockfish, lobster, and hydra that there is no feasible way to 'transfer' this property between species. Our mission to develop rejuvenation biotechnologies is based on the notion that it may be possible to apply the principles of regenerative medicine to the cellular and molecular damage of aging. In short, we think it ought to be possible to engineer solutions to age-related disease that stave off pathology indefinitely – such that, like the rockfish, lobster, and hydra – we are able to get old without becoming sick or frail.

Finally, we emphasize that our approach is a strategy, not a fixed and final platform of new medicines. We work today to catalyze the development of a panel of rejuvenation biotechnologies, each of which addresses one of the known forms of aging damage. But that panel is only a provisional iteration of the damage-repair strategy, and could well change in the future in light of new information, the discovery of superior methods, etc.

The Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence, then, amount to a flexible way of approaching the development and continuous improvement of rejuvenation biotechnologies, to combat age-related disease and frailty however it may manifest itself now and tomorrow."


In summary, we all agree that dying sucks, and it would seem that we have developed to a point that we are capable of acheiving the long-held desire for an indefinite lifespan; a world in which people don't have to look forward to certain death, but may instead look forward to perpetual life. Let's work together to make it happen.
