I think there’s a lot of great points and habits of thinking here. My intuition is that it’s really hard to marshall resources in this space, SENS has done this, and they seem pretty open to feedback (I think Jim is great). The next exploratory step in getting this to happen might be as a proposal to SENS.
I was going to come here to say to look at SENS. I feel like they do have an idea of a “blueprint” for solving aging and are working on executing on it, and they are from my outside perspective working in a way similar to MIRI: they have a problem to solve, some ideas about how to do it, and some research agendas they are executing on to move them towards the answer.
Radiation out from SENS is a constellation of folks working on this stuff. I’m not sure, though, that these folks also lack a blueprint, only that they work in field where they can’t easily publicly claim to have one.

Great suggestion, I’ll likely look into it.
