Oh shut up.
The number of people that keep living in denial and rationalization of their sub-optimal circumstance astounds me.
Just face it and be honest. There is nothing noble in being a 50 year old for an infinity given the option to be youthful and mentally/physically fit instead.
Vanity, superficiality, shallowness... All these buzzwords that criticize something that is perfectly natural to desire, in an effort to signal some higher moral ground.
Come on.
- milquetoastaf 9y agoYea I am signalling the moral high ground because HN is full of fucking sociopaths who want to live forever so they can execute their dumb ass startup until the heat death of the universe or learn new languages - at the expense of completely fucking up the world and our place in it. It helps to take a look in the mirror sometime. Life extension technology is going to ruin humanity and the earth. Look up this comment in fifty years and tell me I'm wrong.
- dredmorbius 9y agoMake that 500 years, and you might get some takers to seal the deal ....
- milquetoastaf 9y agoFair point. I will extend my offer even up to a thousand years.
