The point is not baseless longevity. It's to live healthy longer. I have no delusion I won't die. But I have seen people die unhealthy and suffer. My goal is to maximize health overall.
Did I state longevity was my goal? No. "Temporal pleasures" are subjective. And you're conflating your tastes with mine incorrectly. I stated I ate a lot of meat, and enjoyed it. I don't miss it having cut it out. That was very surprising to me and I'm simply sharing thoughts. I also suggested if you haven't tried it, how would you know? You don't. Plain and simple.
- emodendroket 9y agoNo, but you cited a book whose title suggests a premise I have issues with.
- windexh8er 9y agoSo what you're saying is you have a problem with a book that has thousands of peer reviewed studies as references. Your only argument is still completely subjective.
- emodendroket 9y agoIs there some objective way to answer the question of how much we should be willing to sacrifice for greater longevity? It's entirely a values question.
- windexh8er 9y agoThe flaw in your argument is you paint a very broad assumption by stating that anyone has to "sacrifice" anything to begin with.
