I know someone who knows about flying to the stars in a realistic way wpretty well. He wrote a few great chapters on it in his upcoming book but then he threw them away because he wanted the book to focus on other things. Let me know if you want first contact.

Regarding both "figuring out how to make human cryonics/hibernation work" and "How to defeat death?", you might enjoy my recently-published book - The Future Loves You: How and Why We Should Abolish Death.

It runs through the neuroscience, medicine and philosophy of how something like cryonics/brain preservation might be made to work, as well as the economics and ethics implications that come along with that possibility. I actually think modern preservation techniques (e.g. aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation) have a substantial chance of working, something that's also supported by some recent surveys of neuroscientists I've performed.

I have to say I'm somewhat intrigued by your 2 hours of journaling a day.

Seems counter to someone so vested in maximising productivity.

Reality is the aspects of the universe which are accessible to a mind. Actuality ( ie change qua change, chaos, aether ) is the universe as it is beyond the perception of a mind. We each have our own map of reality, as experienced through three layers of filter - physical/biological/sensory, cultural/subconscious, and personal/psychological. Reality per-se is the consensus version.

Your question about everyone believing the world is ending is a powerful one. This is a recurring feature of every human society I'm familiar with. But why? I'm going to try to find out.
