Why do you humans always connect immortality of new intelligent species to overpopulation or a similar viral or negative trait? Wouldn’t it be nice to not feel the urge to reproduce and just live in comfort for eons with millions of friendly non-competing peers? The only thing to overcome is your destructive all-consuming nature, which harms the nature itself.
- endisneigh 5y agoWhy do you believe we are capable of this friendly world with immortality when we are not capable of it without? History has already shown us that made bad ideas only went away bad we cause people died. It’s not exactly controversial to say immortality will lengthen the time in which bad ideas persist, environmental concerns aside.
- wruza 5y agoThat is a valid question, but not what I believe. A friendly world begins with a reduced demand, and demand is driven up by reproduction, not by mortality (quite the opposite). Your species’ logistic map could autobalance around some happy value even with reproduction still on, but you throw all your forces to both reproduction and a reduction of starvation factors. There is no stable point to converge to with these parameters, and humans will always fluctuate from cleanup to rebuild to shortages to destruction. You consume too much, too effectively and double in size in quickly decreasing intervals, that’s the problem.
