Lifeboat Strategy
By James Blodgett
Our human future could be very good or very bad. We might settle the
reachable universe, we might live forever, or we might go extinct. What
we do right now might make the difference.
Strategy is a plan for accomplishing a goal. This column has suggested
strategy that Lifeboat members might use for addressing positive and
negative singularities, which I see as Lifeboat’s focus. However, since
we are Lifeboat members, we should also think about strategy that makes
good use of the Lifeboat ecosystem.
I asked Eric Klien, President of the Lifeboat Foundation, what he thinks
is important. His answer is “My current focus is our Facebook group. It
is important to me because we have bots that use it as source to create
posts on our blog, tweets on Twitter, posts on our Facebook page, posts
on LinkedIn, posts on GETTR, and even posts on Parler. So we want people
to post to our group, comments on posts to our group, and help moderate
our group.”
