“The never ending peace” and “Conscious animals”. Also in February we plan the filming of new episodes in California.

We also put an emphasize on writing articles which could communicate non-standard visions of future. But any article is too short for complex ideas, and sometimes book is required. At this moment Valerija Pride is writing a book “Cryonics – why is it correct”, and Igor Kirilyuk is writing the “History of Immortalism”.

Appearance on TV and other

On January 20th Valerija Pride took part in filming the TV talk-show “Let them speak”, starring Andrey Malakhkov, the topic was «End of the World - The signs». Pitifully, her talk was badly cut down because the directors weren’t interested in protecting science.

Among the nearest events will be Danila’s participation in the Gordon Research Conference at US, California on 12-17th of February, where he presented the project «Human Aging System Diagram»
