Existing expenditure probably isn’t effectively directed. However, SENS doesn’t seem to be very much better. It’s oriented towards biomedical gerontology. It seems pretty obvious that the way to produce potentially long-lived minds is to create them in a digital substrate—so that they can be copied and backed up. SENS seems to be pretty irrelevant to that project.
