Antimortality is an online forum and community for those, who refuse to sign the consent for aging and death as a desired outcome.

We use reason, science and action to cooperate on reduction of mortality of all causes for every human on the planet. And, being honest, for pets too.

We write here because movement needs memory, arguments, maps. We need places where confused newcomer can become useful faster, and where useful people can stop rediscovering same ideas alone.

We need this forum so each day we can act against death more and more efficiently.

If you are interested to know why this forum exists and why we need something separate from LessWrong, Effective Altruism, X, private Slacks, local chats and occasional camps - start with Why Antimortality Should Not Exist.

The Home

The idea is old: death is not a sacred law, but an ultimate evil, that can be addressed technically, medically and socially.

Versions of this idea have reappeared again and again:

Francis Bacon in 1620s treated life extension as a legitimate object of experimental natural philosophy. He even pushed the work forward because of its “extreme profit and importance”, saying delay itself was costly. This is not yet “abolish death,” but it is an important transition: longevity becomes a scientific research program, not alchemy, prayer, or myth.
Later the idea was taken by Metchnikoff, who identified three chief evils that hang over humanity: disease, old age, and death and introduced the term “gerontology”.
Later in Nikolai Fedorov’s Cosmism ideas, in transhumanism, in immortalism, but also in nearly every biological lab or biotech startup on Earth.

The problem is that the idea keeps reinventing itself without enough memory. Instead of one hundred people making one hundred disconnected explainers, we can build shared texts that improve over time. Let's make the idea to persist and help it to obtain a shape, by building the consensus here and transmitting it among everyone, who refuses to die without giving a fight to death.

This is a place to write essays, comment on essays, chain essays together, link arguments, improve old posts, challenge weak claims, canonize useful texts, and build something like a shared intellectual memory for the refusal of death.

We highly recommend you to read essays, and leave the comment after each essay that you've read, and write your own essays to make our philoso...
