Abstract
Two intimate, important, and intricate topics are human longevity and the possible afterlife. In other words, how long humans live, and their possible afterlife. Those two subjects matter so much, they deserve their own anthology.
The more we, humans, critically rationalist quantify( non-contradictory, parsimonious, falsifiable, and exactly) physics, the easier we can exactly quantify the possible afterlife.
God being logos, while everyone’s higher self is its own god, would explain undeserved suffering, why moderation works(eg: assertive works best between passive and aggressive), too much ego is suicidal but, certain ego is needed for survival, etc.
Christianity is the ANTI-racist, Hellenistic and Pan-white-privilege religion. Jesus =Dionysus=Bacchus=Liber(the god and root word of liberalism ). Mass immigration gives more co-ethnic selection for POGMAIP. Deserved white guilt also lowers both fetishizing and internalized racism. God=Logos. God is logic and reason itself. The same environment, memes, and genes selected for Christianity, also lead to ANTI-racism. While Logos is God, the higher-self of each individual is its own god.
I don’t know if an unmoved mover exists, or ever existed, but, to discover something, logic is necessary. Thus, logic may be the universal and eternal constant. Therefore, God appears to be Logos. Perhaps each individual has its own higher self. And each higher self is its individual’s own god. A higher self cannot uproot logic itself. And, upon attempting to uproot logic, the individual loses its individuality and hurts their own self-interests. Thus, certain humility is both necessary and selfish.
Introduction
Of course, one researcher can only investigate so many themes. The first topic shall be longevity, also known as both life extension and anti-aging. Information theory of aging has been deduced as the best explanation so far.
Following are attempts to exactly quantify the possible afterlife.

“Of course, not all mutations are ‘bad.’ But, because so many mutations can cause
cancer, DNA repair is obviously a crucially important property of eukaryotic cells. However, too
much of a good thing can be dangerous. If DNA repair were perfect and no mutations ever
accumulated, there would be no genetic variation—and this variation serves as the raw material
for evolution. Successful organisms have thus evolved the means to repair their DNA efficiently
but not too efficiently, leaving just enough genetic variability for evolution to continue.”

http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.24739.43040 . “Theories are not facts. Differential equations are a common concept of applied mathematics. Science is roughly derived from philosophy. Engineering is roughly derived from science. The afterlife is worth researching. All research at first may seem far-fetched. Engineering may be the only way to know for sure if the afterlife is real and if so, what it is exactly. “The Differential Equations of Advanced Conception: (S + P)’ = ~(S + E) S: science P: philosophy E: engineering The derivative of science plus philosophy equals approximately science plus engineering. Science is in both the differential equation and the approximate derivative because after the deriving process the thinking becomes less philosophical and more scientific due to the increased tangibility.”(Ohnemus 2023). If we add the science of the afterlife and the philosophy of the afterlife then the approximate derivative may be the science of the afterlife plus the engineering of the afterlife. In conclusion, probably no machine has been created to preview the afterlife. And if one has, the probability of its accuracy may be null.”

“http://dx.doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2308.09045. “The Lindy effect is a statistical tendency for things with longer pasts behind them to have longer futures ahead. It has been experimentally confirmed to apply to some categories, but not others, raising questions about when it is applicable and why. I shed some light on these questions by examining the mathematical properties required for the effect and generating mechanisms that can produce them. While the Lindy effect is often thought to require a declining hazard rate, I show that it arises very naturally even in cases with constant (or increasing) hazard rates -- so long as there is a probability distribution over the size of that rate. One implication is that even things which are becoming less robust over time can display the Lindy effect.”

“In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:
March/April 2006 Historically Speaking 15 Christianity is a Hellenistic Religion, and Western Civilization is Christian Ricardo Duchesne The one virtue I can find in Stark's essay, as it was adapted from his book Victory of Reason, is that it might stimulate a serious discussion about why Christianity was the only religion to cultivate a philosophical outlook consistent with the rational investigation of nature and the rise of a liberal democratic culture. Right from the opening paragraph, his essay sprays out too many sweeping statements about medieval Europe's technological superiority over the rest of the world that can only be judged as expressions of someone not familiar with world economic history. I have defended David Landes's contention that sometime in the medieval/early modern era Europe took a path that set it on a special historical course, but I cannot support Stark's flat statement that medieval European technology and science "overtook and surpassed the rest of the world." Sung China (960-1279), rather, was the world's most advanced civilization at that time. The irrigated fields of China gave far higher yields per seed and per unit of land than the rain-fed grains of Europe. In terms of preparation of soil and methods ofsoil preservation , rotation of crops, selective breeding of seeds, transplanting and winnowing, and water control techniques, Chinese—and possibly Indian—farmers were ahead of their European counterparts well into the modern era. Stark shows no awareness ofcurrent arguments made by Bin Wong, A. G. Frank, Ken Pomeranz, and others that many "modern" economic trends attributed to Europe, such as rising total output and per capita productivity, growing urbanization, and global trade networks , were also experienced in China, India, and Japan throughout the modern era. I do agree, nevertheless, that by the 12th century Europe was entering a period of cumulative progression in all spheres ofsocial life, richer in originality and spiritedness than any other cultural efflorescence witnessed since the ancient Greeks. While I do share Stark's belief that Christianity was a major factor in this progression, I have deep reservations about his contention that the rise ofmodern science was rooted directly in the religion of Christianity. He writes: "Christianity alone embraced reason and logic as the primary guides to religious truth. Christian faith in reason was influenced by Greek philosophy. But the more important fact is that Greek philosophy had little impact on Greek religions. Those remained typical mystery cults .... But, from early days, the church fathers taught Stark is right that outside narrow scholarly circles Catholicism is still derided as reactionary andsuperstitious. of one ethnic people, and this God remained abstract and beyond reason. In the Incarnation and the belief that Jesus has two natures— both fully God and fully human—the pure universal spirit of the Old Testament finds concrete expression in human history. PreChristian religions only imagined the presence of spirit in the world; Christians see and feel and hear the divinity and love of God in their lives. What Stark ignores to the point ofharming his entire argument is that Christianity alone developed a metaphysical framework consistent with that of modern science and freedom due to the deep impact of Greek culture on the very formation of Christianity. Christianity was born that reason was the supreme gift from God and the means to progressively increase understanding of Scripture and revelation." Stark cites a few passages from St. Augustine, St. Magnus, St. Aquinas, and Tertullian to support this claim but without supplying any supplementary explanations. Stark claims in his book that Christianity is the only religion that had faith in reason, which nourished a "science of faith"—a theology of "God's nature, intentions, and demands." He further argues that Christianity is different from such religions as Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism in believing in the existence of a "conscious, all powerful God," rather than a One, a Being or principle governing the universe that is impersonal, remote, unknowable, and separate from our world. I also believe that the God of Christianity is not transcendental but immanent. I agree as well that Christianity displays a higher level of self-consciousness because the Divine is not something utterly other and…”

“THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience! A groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations.” “The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the “best-kept secret” in history. Did the Ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest Christians inherit the same, secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs and fungi passed from one generation to the next, ever since the Stone Age?” “There is zero archaeological evidence for the original Eucharist – the sacred wine said to guarantee life after death for those who drink the blood of Jesus. The Holy Grail and its miraculous contents have never been found. In the absence of any hard data, whatever happened at the Last Supper remains an article of faith for today’s 2.5 billion Christians. In an unprecedented search for real answers, The Immortality Key examines the archaic roots of the ritual that is performed every Sunday for nearly one third of the planet. Religion and science converge to paint a radical picture of Christianity’s founding event. And after centuries of debate, to solve history’s greatest puzzle once and for all.” “Before the birth of Jesus, the Ancient Greeks found salvation in their own sacraments. Sacred beverages were routinely consumed as part of the so-called Ancient Mysteries – elaborate rites that led initiates to the brink of death. The best and brightest from Athens and Rome flocked to the spiritual capital of Eleusis, where a holy beer unleashed heavenly visions for two thousand years. Others drank the holy wine of Dionysus to become one with the god. In the 1970s, renegade scholars claimed this beer and wine – the original sacraments of Western civilization – were spiked with mind-altering drugs. In recent years, vindication for the disgraced theory has been quietly mounting in the laboratory. The constantly advancing fields of archaeobotany and archaeochemistry have hinted at the enduring use of hallucinogenic drinks in antiquity. And with a single dose of psilocybin, the psychopharmacologists at Johns Hopkins and NYU are now turning self-proclaimed atheists into instant believers. But the smoking gun remains elusive.” “If these sacraments survived for thousands of years in our remote prehistory, from the Stone Age to the Ancient Greeks, did they also survive into the age of Jesus? Was the Eucharist of the earliest Christians, in fact, a psychedelic Eucharist?” “With an unquenchable thirst for evidence, Muraresku takes the reader on his twelve-year global hunt for proof. He tours the ruins of Greece with its government archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the continuity from pagan to Christian wine. He unravels the Ancient Greek of the New Testament with the world’s most controversial priest. He spelunks into the catacombs under the streets of Rome to decipher the lost symbols of Christianity’s oldest monuments. He breaches the secret archives of the Vatican to unearth manuscripts never before translated into English. And with leads from the archaeological chemists at the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he unveils the first scientific data for the ritual use of psychedelic drugs in classical antiquity.” “The Immortality Key reconstructs the suppressed history of women consecrating a forbidden, drugged Eucharist that was later banned by the Church Fathers. Women who were then targeted as witches during the Inquisition, when Europe’s sacred pharmacology largely disappeared. If the scientists of today have resurrected this technology, then Christianity is in crisis. Unless it returns to its roots.” “Featuring a Foreword by Graham Hancock, the New York Times bestselling author of America Before: The Key to Earth’s Lost Civilization.”

Abstract WARNING: GENETIC ENGINEERING IS DANGEROUS. 1)This ANTI-racist essay rejects both racialism and racial essentialism, beginning with epistemology, physics, chemistry, biology, and then social sciences, of course with some overlap. Humans have, AT LEAST PARTIAL, free will or they could not fundamentally choose to focus on life, thus all reason would be futile “And if humans lack free will then the reasoning behind anything would not exist”(Ohnemus 2023). Thus self-evident PARTIAL free will debunks biological determinism. Biological determinism, at least in this essay and many other senses, also means scientific materialism. Thus, humans probably have souls, OR AT LEAST hereditarianism is wrong. Science only approximately derives from philosophy because direct derivation would be a non-sequitur. Plus, the relationship between science and philosophy is very complicated. Philosophy speculates more and changes upon scientific discovery. Yet science rests upon philosophical postulates, such as the philosophy of science. 2) As a cohesive thesis elaborates, certain deceased Northwestern Europeans, who NEVER reproduced, either owe several reparations to the lesser privileged racialized populations OR were so enlightened, they deserve to have their traits expanded. Exact replication(both phenotypical and genotypical) not only is probably impossible, but also may excessively reduce diversity. Thus, 3D printing more progressive(traits and genes) and recessive(traits and genes) INexact replicas of those certain, and other, Northwestern Europeans is imperative for civilization and progress. Perhaps following the mass automated reproduction, to mitigate risks, the recessive and progressive privileges may be distributed to the consenting individuals, of racialized populations with lesser privileges. 3) Beginning from first principles does not mean reductionism. On the contrary, boiling down to the most fundamental truths and then reasoning up, while acknowledging and mapping nuance, may be the surest avoidance of both reductionism AND contradictions, if one simultaneously recognizes and charts counterintuitive reality. If diseases can reasonably correlate to genes with a parsimonious relationship then, other traits can too. Potentially one can describe a dead person’s traits to a machine(maybe through photos, recordings, verbally, etc.) then, the machine can at least create one of many possibly corresponding genotypes. Humans, at least typically, only have 46 chromosomes, so certain traits parsimoniously match with certain genes. Even humans with more, or maybe less, than 46 chromosomes probably still have a close enough number for their traits to be parsimoniously matched with corresponding genes. Plus if previous information on the dead subject’s genotype is available(DNA of relatives, lineage DNA, ethnic DNA, populational(maybe racialized) DNA, general human genome, genealogy, etc.) data, both of the particular deceased person, one can either clone that dead subject(having deduced the genotype) or 3D bio-print another human with the same traits the deceased is remembered for, plus silver lining, added genetic diversity. One could 3D bioprint an in-exact replica of the deceased individual through the deduced genotype, out of bioink materials composing DNA, RNA, and proteins(perhaps sugar or other elements that chemically make deoxyribonucleic acid), while a bioreactor reinforces the design, and rheology, of the intended human. If CRISPR can both cure, and accidentally cause, mutations, then it can potentially and intentionally distribute recessive and progressive privileges by both somatically, and germinally, mutating people. CRISPR could even distribute both recessive and progressive privileges, of being enlightened liberal Northwestern Europeans, to 3D bioprinted people before they are printed. 4) Selectively 3D bioprinting human individuals for humanitarian ANTI-racist reparations is key for preventing a phenotypic revolution because recessive ≠ useful to machines. Plus, by 3D bioprinting, in-exact human replicas, of deceased individuals, machines won’t be able to launch a phenotypic revolution, because the automated reproduction will lack the linearity. And the philosophy, of paying ANTI-racist reparations, requires a level of empathy that is uniquely human and not automatable.”
