This is the ultimate necessary thing to do actually for human beings. All economics and social activities stem from the quest to live forever, though it's impossible to implement before. But today, technologies have made this promising. Believe me, it's not absurd at all. Think about all religions, they come from the quest to live forever deeply inside human's unconscious, but today, technology and science have become the new religion, and its goal, in fact, is still the same here, because human beings never change much. Combine biology and information theory, I think this can be done before 2500 A.D..

> I think this can be done before 2500 B.C. Uh, I'm pretty sure it's already too late for Gilgamesh. Sorry to give you the bad news.

    The date coupled with your optimism made me wonder whether the rest of the post was parody. You know, "we have the technology now. We can do this. Why, just as soon as our great God King returns from distant lands of the dead bearing the mysteries of mortality we'll build the proper Moon Temple to achieve everlasting life..." That sort of thing.

> All economics and social activities stem from the quest to live forever This is quite an assertion. > Think about all religions, they come from the quest to live forever deeply inside human's unconscious Yeah, I don't agree with this one either. I have no expectations about this stuff. I suppose I find it all pretty fantastical and I probably will until there's hard evidence all this hype is actually leading somewhere.
