You seem to be saying that you wish that passion for work, or gobs of money, (or maybe genius, it's ambiguous from your wording) were a way to escape mortality.

I'd rather live in a world where everyone has a roughly similar risk of mortality. I wish Steve Jobs genius were a way toward curing every case of pancreatic cancer; I don't wish he had a non-scalable way to cure only his own.
- Tichy 15y agoI only said that that kind of thing is a story. That is also why the tabloids are full of stories of the rich people, not the poor people, and fairy tales are about princes and princesses. Also if he could cure his own, it would incentivize other people to become rich so that they could also cure their cancer.
