Future scientific predictions have an extremely high rate of over-estimating based on treands of the time, and then missing the real big things that actually will matter in the future.
I won't spoil my mind assuming immortality is even a distant possibility.
- drcode 14y agoI agree this stuff is far-fetched, but how do you benefit by telling yourself this is categorically impossible?

- gouranga 14y agoI'd rather die. That's a big thing to say but without motivation to do things before you die, humanity will descend into chaos.
- philh 14y agoI would be very surprised if the part of the brain responsible for motivation was so directly tied in with the part of the brain which is consciously aware that it will die.
- jakeonthemove 14y agoNo way man, if I was immortal, I could work on stuff without worrying that I'll get old and never finish it. And there's plenty to work on, for sure...
- Udo 14y agoAnd you still can, even after this "immortality tech" is available. Nobody forces you, just don't hold the rest of us back when it's time to join the revolution ;-) Seriously though, you guys are going to die out. You know that, right?
- gouranga 14y agoWhen there is a price on immortality, we will all die or be killed. Humanity is notoriously self levelling.
