There are a lot famous people on their list, and presumably FLI is behind the recent article in the huffington post, but how much does this indicate that said famous people are on board with the claims in the article? The top non-famous person on their list of people studies monte-carlo methods and volunteers for CFAR—is this an indication that they’re bringing on someone to do actual work? Or does Alan Alda being at the top of their list of advisors mean they’re going to focus on communications?
Can anyone share the story behind the Future of Life Institute?
