I am terrified of the day when Trumps, Putins, Kochs, Xis of the world will transcend the inevitable natural limits to their influence and power imposed by mortality.
If I were faced with a choice where one option is my own immortality and of those who I care about, but also accompanied with a path to immortality available to every tyrant and sociopath at the top of the wealth pyramid, and the other choice being that we all continue to pass on at the usual rate, power and wealth having no real say in the matter - as much as I’d like to hang around longer, I would be agonized by the implications of such decision and am not quite sure what I would pick at the end.
