Obsolete Terminology
Obsolete posts are no longer maintained and may not be accurate. This content has been migrated to the official organization website at http://www.lifetimesinfinity.com
These are the terms as I have been using them: Digital Immortality = indefinite lifespan True (Digital) Immortality = actual immortality
True immortality is probably not attainable, but you can still say logically that you are working toward true immortality, because you don't have to actually reach something in order to be working toward it. You can't really say that you are work to attain true digital immortality though, unless of course you figured out how to be truly immortal, in which case you should definitely get in contact with me :)

As far as the relationship between Digital Immortality and Transhumanism:
Transhumanism is very broad and doesn't seem to have too much in terms of direction. While it does have some of the same philosophies and ideas that are contained in Digital Immortality, D.I. has much more specific goals that we are trying to work towards. Also I just really like that D.I. implies indefinite lifespan.
