Isn't this from Rapture of the Nerds? IIRC, it was about the debate between one faction that was against mind-uploads, and another one for it. Being functionally immortal, the latter and could "wait out" the former and thus "won" the debate.
That idea floated to the top of my my a couple of times during the COVID crisis when I was feeling misanthropic.
- madrox 3y agoThe same idea was in Down & Out. The Bitchun Society was basically immortal as well, and they didn't need to convince any other civilization factions...merely wait them out. I, too, thought about this quite a bit when observing the anti-vax movement.
