Interview with Bruce J. Klein
by Jonathan Despres

Tell us about yourself and your projects? 


Currently, I chair the Immortality Institute, a non-profit educational 
organization with the mission to overcome involuntary death. Also, I'm 
co-founder of a software company located in Bethesda, MD. 


My current project is to complete a science documentary called, Exploring Life 
Extension, which has its first screening at the Immortality Institute's Nov 5 
Life Extension Conference in Atlanta.

Interview with Robin Hanson
by Jonathan Despres


Tell us about yourself. What is your background, and what current projects are 
you involved in?


It took me a while to figure out what academic discipline to call home. I went 
from physics to philosophy of science to artificial intelligence to Bayesian 
statistics to economics to political science to health policy. Along the way I 
also studied hypertext publishing (i.e., what is now the web) and future 
technologies.


Today I am a tenured professor of economics at George Mason University. (You can
do a lot of things and call it economics!) I helped to found the field of 
prediction/information markets, and continue to work in that area. I also study 
the the nature and rationality of disagreements. For more, see
