- A 2015 paper on “Opportunities and challenges of a world with negligible senescence” (doi:10.1016/j.techfore.2015.06.031) was circulated as foundational reading for designing long-term life-extension roadmaps.  
- Terraform-Earth concepts debated included ocean iron-seeding, stratospheric sulfate aerosols, J. Storrs Hall’s “aerovore” self-replicating atmospheric processors, orbital sunshades/solettas, and Project Orion-style nuclear-pulse propulsion for both climate engineering and space migration.  
- Participants analyzed the geopolitical feasibility of nuclear-pulse launches, noting that France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea are not CTBT signatories, and weighed secrecy, EMP risks, and on-orbit or lunar assembly as mitigation strategies.  
- A decentralized AGI architecture was outlined: a p2p “mind-space” network running on a resilient VM substrate where nodes broadcast problem “sub-brains,” evolve solutions locally, and trade improvements via Lightning-network micropayments (e.g., 25 ¢ to evaluate, $5 for a superior solution).  
- Tor exit-node strategy discussion proposed encouraging mobile users to run 10–20 minute ephemeral exits, with counter-arguments favoring short-lived bridges due to directory-authority lag.  
- The newly released Open Tree of Life platform (tree.opentreeoflife.org) and its accompanying PNAS paper on unified phylogenetic construction were shared as open-source resources for evolutionary biology research.
