I was addressing a few posters on this article who were specifically taking about 'uploading' themselves into some kind of digital repository as a means of finally overcoming biological shortcomings of easy mortality. I'm not saying anything on the value of slowing the ageing process to buy a few more decades or centuries. That's a different matter. Plus in the ultimate analysis human beings are no more or less valuable than anything. Yes, that's my personal view so I don't speak for anyone else.

To me at least, there's a pretty firm separation between lifestyle choices, almost no matter how radical and just plain fucking weird, and universal existential theorizing about the cosmos.
