Don’t worry, very serious people are working on life extension technologies. So the generational evolution you are describing will soon be a thing of the past!

- LatteLazy 6y agoIt honestly worries me. It's pretty well proven that science advances only when old scientists, leaders in their fields, die.

This would be a big thing for me, because I can't enjoy life at all knowing that every single day I spend is one day closer to my death. It's just impossible to enjoy life without being immortal in my view. I always feel anxious that I'm not spending the best time possible, no matter what I do. One of the reasons I really want to become rich beyond belief too, so I could a) Support this tech, b) Be one of the first to get this as the first ones will be the ones who can afford to bid the most, and also it may be limited, you can't possibly in the beginning stages have all 8B of people have this treatment.

I believe that has been a commonly held view by humans throughout history and explains the reason for some sort of after-life being pre-installed in nearly all religions. From an individual pov, yes please extend my life forever. From a species pov, it seems like a possible evolutionary dead end.
