I'm not a body, I'm a mind running on a body!
Food for thought is that life extension treatments once developed will ultimately be cheaper and safer than hospital care. So they'll be compulsory, in effect. Or rather everyone will continually face the question: more extension, or voluntary euthanasia? No more waiting around to die. Purpose, metaphysics, mental health all brought into sharp focus.

- dqpb 9y agoI feel like a mind can observe itself as long as there is some feedback control...
- tremendulo 9y agoNot relevant to life extension, but I think what you're saying amounts to the fact that the mind is more complex than most minds assume. (Perhaps including than you assume. For doesn't it require a mind to observe things, even itself?)
