Won't be able to make it to this one on account of currently being on the opposite side of the continent and not having a teleporter yet, but have fun!
(So, do transhumanists wish each other "Happy birthday" or "Sorry to hear about your aging, hope you get better soon"? Anyway, I wish Eliezer both.)
I offer people my 'congratulations on cheating death another year'. At least, I like the balance this strikes.
Eliezer, congratulations on remaining unfrozen for another year.
I would point out that this phrasing would be equally appropriate when said in the direction of the ashes of Eliezer left after the catastrophic failure of a perplexing plan to drop a tungsten block into an active volcano... :)
Perhaps a simple toast, "to your health," with a moderate amount of alcohol. I'll join, from further south along your inconvenient coast.
I guess repurposing "L'chaim!" ("To life!") would work well from one transhumanist atheist Jew to another.
To life! Infinity eons of life!
ata nachon!
