Q: Is it a HN thing to be (obsessively?) interested in health and longevity?
Dying is a natural process. Sorry.
- rfrey 3y agoIt's a human thing. Not all humans, but many. > Dying is a natural process. Sorry. Avoiding dying, as best one can, is also a natural behaviour.

- averageRoyalty 3y agoWe fight all sorts of natural processes. Most common forms of death from a couple of centuries ago are solved. Our average lifespan has increased dramatically. We fly around in planes, travel to space, grow fruit out of season and build giant cities. As a species, we're excellent at working around or ignoring what's "natural".
