While I deeply respect anyone's effort to go down any of the rabbit holes from first to third bullet in the face of something as terminal as death on the one hand, I always chuckle to myself at anyone thinking fixing any of these points (cryogenic storage, curing aging, living infinitely) would be a smart idea - even if possible. So I rest content and confident that most of it will remain lucid dreams for the foreseeable future thanks to the intricate complexities of biochemistry. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate our general age rising due to improved nutrition and medicine, but I deeply believe we only have the chance to feel truly alive and get ahead because we know we are going to die one day. Obligatory Steve Jobs quote: > Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. > Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. > Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
