- Cryonics contracts routinely allow clients to specify thawing conditions, such as “do not resuscitate me until virtual reality or brain emulation is demonstrated to work,” and can exclude resuscitation by other cryonics patients.  
- Participants warn that Alcor’s culture may disregard non-consensus thawing instructions, highlighting a governance and trust issue in current cryonics practice.  
- A recommended anti-aging supplement stack was discussed: nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), alpha-GPC, vitamins K2 and D3, and trimethylglycine; price disparities of 5–7× between vendors were noted.  
- Alpha-GPC remains unusually expensive; cheaper choline sources are considered acceptable substitutes, and K2 can be obtained in bulk as an oil or simply by eating chicken thighs.  
- Y Combinator’s blog post “How Biotech Startup Funding Will Change in the Next 10 Years” was shared as a strategic read for open-source bio founders.  
- docl and roko refined the “orbital track” or “space runway” concept: a horizontal LEO structure that accelerates spacecraft via eddy-current braking, eliminating the need for onboard propellant.  
- The launch-loop (Lofstrom loop) was compared to the orbital track; it uses a 14 km/s rotor inside a 2 000 km dynamic-support sheath to magnetically levitate and accelerate vehicles, but its catastrophic-failure risk mandates oceanic siting.  
- Practical eddy-current braking favors a small onboard tube passing over the fixed track rather than enclosing the vehicle, ensuring the craft can separate after reaching orbital velocity.
