Opioids cause dependence, tolerance, and ultimately because of those, an awful lot of overdose death. Journavx, the first non-opioid painkiller, may allow us to avoid an awful lot of this worksinprogress.news/p/the-f…

The approval of Journavx (suzetrigine) marks a major step in non-opioid pain management. Could this shift pain treatment strategies? Explore its potential impact: bit.ly/433EbqH #PainRelief #FDAApproval

The best thing might be to simply go to the other worlds ourselves (or send our robot proxies) to do gardening directly - spreading life, but also keeping it from turning too painful.

Our view is that a temporary moratorium on directed panspermia is a good idea. It is early days in space, time is cheap, we need to figure out more about the balance between suffering risk and value of life, or how to make life that tends to evolve to high wellbeing.

Thank you for the interview, @slatestarcodex! This is an excellent primer into many aspects of our exploratory work and the emerging suffering abolitionist ecosystem. astralcodexten.com/p/profile…
Suffering and pain abolition, e.g. FAAH-OUT, is worth donating to

Weirdly, my aggressively-pro-this thing tweet which I expected to generate tons of pushback instead largely led to agreement 🤷♂️

Hot take, but ~this should probably be like the second biggest EA cause area, after X-risk. The fact that things like this are approximately totally neglected by EA makes me think worse of the non-X-risk parts of EA.

Far Out goes far out near @nearcyan. Thank you for the exposure! We started an FAQ section to answer common questions: faroutinitiative.com/FAQ
Congratulations to the Far Out Initiative @cease_suffering

Congratulations to The Far Out Initiative on receiving its first @slatestarcodex grant!
The initiative is heavily inspired by Jo Cameron, a woman born with a genetic condition resulting in immunity to physical and psychological pain (fear, anxiety, etc.). Unlike other forms of congenital pain insensitivity, her condition does not carry the same negative side effects. This discovery revealed a possible path to abolishing suffering — the path the initiative is pursuing from the following angles:
The Anandaimonia Project: Research into solving human suffering by targeting the genetic basis of pain, both physical and mental. This would involve genetic and pharmacological interventions.
The Ananda Lines: Creating lines of gene-edited livestock animals who possess the same resistance to physical and psychological pain. This aims to transform factory farming practices and reduce the vast suffering endured by these animals.
The Far Out Initiative's goals are heavily aligned with QRI's mission statement. We highly encourage everyone to check them out! @cease_suffering
