Did you ever stop to think how silly and also how dangerous it is to live our lives with absolutely no monitoring of our body’s medical status? Years from now people will look back and find it unbelievable that heart attacks, strokes, hormone imbalances, sugar levels, and hundreds of other bodily vital signs and malfunctions were not being continuously anticipated and monitored by medical implants. We can call this concept body 2.0, or the networked body, and we need it now!
Keith Kleiner of the Singularity Hub has put together an interesting, informative post on his blog. Click here for the complete post.
frank, here’s a big-time commentary about the lack of good-behavior moral ethics in business-schooled boardrooms:

Sarkozy calls for ‘honesty ethic’ in business
By Ben Hall in Paris
Published: March 25 2009 01:26 | Last updated: March 25 2009 01:26
President Nicolas Sarkozy of France on Tuesday called for business leaders to demonstrate an “ethic of effort and honesty” as he sought to defend his economic policy amid a public uproar over executive pay.
In a speech in St Quentin, northern France, Mr Sarkozy said that giving bonuses to executives whose companies were in difficulty, laying off large numbers of employees or asking for state help was “not responsible and not honest”.

Thanks for continuing to make Blogging Life Extension a better blog by posting comments containing additional information on subjects of interest.
… sorry, frank … i should have deleted that last sentence … i also didn’t subscribe to peoplenomics.com, but my reason was that it seemed obvious to me that what business-schools don’t teach is “moral ethics” a.k.a. “good behavior”…
business-schooled boardrooms care about profits, not morality
… a perfect example of this is the fact that pharmaceutical companies develop only drugs that do NOT cure diseases
… their profit-over-morality motivation requires them to produce only drugs which people must continue to buy&use until death
… and they block knowledge about natural ways to prevent diseases, because such “good behavior” knowledge would decrease their profitability
the “Singularity” “save-us’ concept/belief” being “just a few formula and code libraries from being solved” should be questioned, because:
…a) no human can create anything that works as well as Nature
…b) naturally real steps to longevity like ” fasting” don’t need expensive research nor complex procedures nor profitable techno-machines … and they can be used by anybody not only to repair body-damages as well as to prevent diseases
…c) scientific bankers/investors, polyticians and their controllers need to control us so that they can profit by programming us to consume their concepts & products & services while we falsely believe that they’re good for us
… they love concepts that promise hope for the future
… they don’t want us to be able to use natural techniques to heal ourselves now because then we would not be their obedient consuming slaves, which is why they promote artificial intelligence instead of real intelligence, synthetic drugs instead of natural herbs, limited-liability instead of responsibility, singularity instead of synchronicity and centers-for-disease CONTROL instead of centers-for-disease PREVENTION, (although they did recently change the CDC to the CDC&P), etcetera

The “Singularity” is Going Bust
There’s a theory that suggests that people have a predisposition to denial or unjustified optimism, which might be labeled a ‘save-us gene’. Not specifically religious, per se, the predisposition spread across many cultures is that at some point in (name that) crisis, a new [something will save us] will come along and all will be changed, all wrongs made right, justice restored, balance in the Universe returned, and the good guys will win. I’m not talking religion here, since discussion of religion covers such a wide range/diversity and is largely verboten in the workplace, I’d point to the non-religious ‘saves us’ concept is making the global boardroom rounds: the “Singularity”. This particular ‘save-us’ concept/belief posits that humanity will get so creative, and so computationally empowered and so quick to market, that bumps in the road (such as our current recession-morphing-into-depression) are just a few formula and code libraries from being solved. But are they? The concept exists, in part, because Business Schools don’t teach this one course…

In attempting to follow your comment above, I tried to read the rest of what you quoted from Peoplenomics.com only to discover it required a paid subscription. Since I didn’t want to pay for one, I couldn’t read the full article/post. As a result, I’m left wondering exactly what the point is that you wanted to make.
Please clue me and others in as to what the point is that you want to convey to us.
Thanks.
…there are natural ways of self-monitoring that don’t need expensive techno-tools and procedures by professionals
… these natural ways include our feelings of tightness, sourness, gases, urine color, feces texture & color, energy, strength, agility, skin-glow, etcetera
… if/when we learn these natural ways, we’ll be in harmony with our true nature and be able to live healthily for as long as we want to
… but don’t expect doctors to teach us natural ways, because the we would not need doctors and medic-manufacturers and ther bankers any more
