gm, if you are alive in the next 30 years, chances are you're going to live forever it is stupid to risk this immortality by doing things that can kill you beforehand
Damnit why’d I have to catch the T1D 😂
I think my odds are good. I feel like if immortality is gonna be the next hip thing, there should be an option to terminate my life ethically. I'd like to live long enough to see the fruits of my labor, but living forever would get boring eventually.
Death is a natural part of life. It allows for evolution.
Living forever is a curse in disguise Death is the great equalizer
Biggest reason I want immortality is that you can do long distance interplanetary travel through cryo-sleep, actual infinity living isn’t really possible, 1k or 10k years is enough for me
The number of people here trying to defend death is craaaaaaazy. Death is bad fam we’re just culturally conditioned to make excuses for it.
So does this mean I should quit scuba diving, paragliding, and driving in South America? Sometimes I think about this.
Bro, I think there’s a 90% chance you grew up watching Highlander
I've come really close to death and I've made peace with him. If other people need 100 or 200 years to get there, that's an option that should be available.

What if you think of your soul as immortal, so every time you die, you just get an upgrade / different skills pack? Kind of like a video game 🤓
I'm 100% going to continue eating garbage and roll the dice – my family ate like shit, smoked cigarettes, drank like sailors, lived into the late 90s. Enjoying life seems to be better than holding out hope on immortality.
I've already lived forever. I'm ready to die an honorable death in the amateur wrestling circuit
Ignoring environmental collapse and a litany of other reasons to dispute this idea, why would you want to live forever?
I have zero desire for immortality. I welcome sweet sweet death at a ripe old age. Pardon me while I grab a donut
But I don’t want to live that long 👀
Have thought about this kinda stuff for years. What level of immortality do you think we need to really “live forever”? I think we’re close to biological immortality aka reverse aging, but we’re still prone to diseases & environment, and our brains are still primed for shorter lifespans. How do we progress?
what data points are you looking at? I am looking it at enthropy theory.
…and those of us who love and adore @farcasteradmin.eth know he means “live forever in the hearts and minds of our loved ones..” obviously.
Meanwhile @notdevin.eth jumps off a cliff with naught but tent canvas on an aframe strapped to his back
a lot of intellectual rigor and data went into forming this belief, I can tell
I think the challenge is not so much making the body live longer, which in itself is WIP, it is the mind is not prepared for that existence. e.g. I don’t know how to picture or use a Trillion dollars. The vastness of space is unfathomable to man. We are just not currently equipped to handle immortality.
In that time period, I'm more bullish on transmitting a partly viable part of our personality to an AI before we pass, than on actually even prolonging our lifespan
I want this to be true so bad, but I think 30 years is too optimistic unless we build AI that cracks it for us. The saddest thing would be if we were the last generation that had to die. But I do believe we'll get there. For now, just build better AI faster.
