The idea for eternal life is to live with your 18 year old body at 200 years old, not like your 90 year old body now. I don’t see why we shouldn’t work towards being healthier and younger for longer. The urge to survive is built into us and

It’s like saying we should tax how stuff is transported based on how fast a human walks and how many humans it takes to transport that kind of size and weight. We can set this metric before the wheel was invented where we could only carry s

I never said that. What do you mean by they don't know? What are they going to do even if they did know? It's not like they can (short of an armed rebellion) demand to have another political party or government. It's like say

Yeah he hacked minecraft services to generate a profit when he was 19 or 20, I wish I could do that when I was 19. I dont think I would have known better at the time either. He's as responsible of taking down Dyn as Mikhail Kalashnikov

I personally know Paras. Brilliant guy, really fun to hang out with, and learned a lot of technical knowledge from him. He was my go-to guy (like a lot of other people in the class) to help me fix the programming problems that I can't
