Yeah, I dunno about you, but I’m not using the same kinds of stuff as billionaires. It will be the same - because of economics. If you think you’ll be just as healthy as long-lived as them, you’re crazy. It’s literally not the case anywhere else in life. Food, housing, opportunities, healthcare ALREADY, transportation, and kitchen sinks. > besides billions of people not rotting to death in their own bodies? Man, when you’re so melodramatic about something as benign as aging, you’re really hard to take seriously. If you can’t see my point of view by now, and how it’s a hell of a gamble to hope we stop doing the thing we’ve been doing pretty much since the dawn of man, I don’t think I have anything else to add to the conversation. I also just think it’s mentioning that you are your body, in its entirety. We almost certainly have more than one brain, at the very least. | ||

That's what aging is. Aging is the process of rotting to death in your own body. There's nothing "benign" about it. Humans learned a lot of ways to sugarcoat it. Many ways to cope. But if I told you that I want to create and unleash something that would make billions suffer, getting worse over decades, and all afflicted people would eventually die? You'd call me a twisted monster, rightfully so. And yet, when I propose we do the opposite, you say "no, it's natural, it's benign, rotting to death is fine actually, everyone does it". |
