Right, I agree that pursuing life-extension is worthwhile. Even living a few more decades at the height of our productivity would benefit society immensely, given how long it takes to train humans to be experts at anything.
I'm just trying to inject a little reality into the more starry-eyed Singularitarianist fantasies about living for millions of years among the stars as an uploaded member of a hive-mind or something.
I'm not a "deathist" by any means, but I accept that one day, it is overwhelmingly likely that my consciousness will end.
