I don’t see much of a disconnect with the idea of living much longer, though if that were really possible, I understand that it would have repercussions on everyone else on a larger scale. I work in areas that look at suffering and alleviating that (in ways most people on the planet don’t) but I also wonder and wish if I could live much longer than currently possible (longer life without tackling aging is pointless, IMO). The main reason for me is that I’m so utterly fascinated and awed by everything humans have accomplished and continue to accomplish (even though there are vast areas of improvement), and I really, really want to see humans going to another planet, setting up a colony, etc., among many other things. Life itself is such a wonder and seemingly miraculous (without assigning any supernatural motives).
