“The end of biological aging would not mean the end of death in any way. It’s more like a Summer evening when you were a kid, and your mom called you inside. You just wanted to keep playing, have a little more fun during sunset before you went to sleep. It’s not about playing forever, just a little longer, until we feel tired.” That is the most beautiful way of describing the want to prolong life I’ve ever heard.
for people that close there probably was no hope for them with the new technology anyway. You should look up Longevity Escape Velocity conceptualised by Aubrey De Gray
Probably 1000 years from today, in the year 3017 - there might be a cure for aging. Those of us here today, watching this video has no hope of immortality. We can blame ourselves for being born too early. This is sad indeed, science research is not advancing fast enough, or we are simply not clever enough and hit a technological 'road block'
I think the most terrifying consequence of ending aging forever is not even the loneliness or the boredom or anything, but the fact that people will continue dying, except they'll all die of stuff like diseases and accidents, making their death even more tragic than a simple death by so-called "old age", since they'd otherwise be able to keep living indefinitely.
@@ecogreen123 Yeah, I’d still definitely prefer CGP Grey’s side of things; if I actually DO die from an accident, please re-make me from the last time something’s copied and updated my data, and then promptly catch “me” up on what happened right after.
Living forever would allow us to have experts in all fields become unfathomably more experienced, and there would be a complete paradigm shift in the speed of our endeavours
I guess you have never seen someone fired for being too Experienced. I was fired once for being over experienced worker. was replaced with a new worker without any experience, they paid him less.
@@TheFunniBaconMan we're DEFINITELY gonna be augmenting the human mind over the next few hundred years, and memory storage will be part of it. Imagine living a century and storing it as a chapter, before re-defining yourself to do something new.
But by technology we can make humans live more longer as they want remember in 1940s the average life of a human was only 35 -40 years and now humans can live more than even 100 years but the average of a human is now 80- 90 years
The law of eventuality dictates that you will do everything if given enough time. Now if you will forget and have to relearn something it would stay interesting. But, like many stories of immortality, an immortal yearns for the one thing they have yet to experience. Death.
Yeah, have fun in 7 billion years from now when the sun expands 100 million miles across and consumes the Earth. Enjoy roasting into nothing for eternity :)
I feel like the idea of wanting to die after living for a long time comes from the idea that after having experienced "everything" there wouldn't be much worth living for, but imo that really only applies in constrained situations, like the "would you rather die at 40 or live forever alone in a box" dilemma. In the real world, even if you manage to perfect every skill you ever wanted to, there's still all of the other people in the world to surround yourself with. On your own, eternal life might get dull, but if you allow the people around to influence you then I'd imagine live could stay interesting indefinitely.
Well, it's mostly because we transform something we don't have (yet or not) in our power to do, in something we force us to think we want. It's all about perspective. The day it becomes possible, you will see an enormous drop in "I'm ok with dying". I'm not the gambling type, but for that, I might be gambling. That's the interaction that make life interesting. 10 or 100 or 100 000 years. With no interaction, only 1 year could kill you from boredom and by going litteraly crazy. (It's a punition to take someone out of any interaction, and even a torture).
Yeah, I don't see how I'd ever get bored. At no point in the last couple million years have we as a species stopped learning and advancing and growing. I don't think an individual would, either. Knowledge-wise, there will likely always be more to learn. It would take me several years of dedicated study just to master -- truly master -- _many_ (not all) of the aspects of my current job. By the time I did that, everything would have changed, and I'd have to learn all the new stuff. And that's just for my one measly specific role! Let alone all the other fields and stuff to learn! Personal development is a bit more of a question mark for me. I think you could feasibly learn how to get along harmoniously with all 8 billion people in the world. It would take a long time and require a _ton_ of personal growth, but I think it's feasible. If you spent a few millenia cultivating deep, meaningful relationships with just ~500 people, some of them similar to you, some of them vastly different, and some of whom you downright loathe... I don't think there would be much more for you to learn on that front. I would guess that forming deep bonds with the remaining 8 billion would probably be a breeze; you'd see the same patterns emerging that you already learned how to navigate. Or when it comes to dealing with the trauma of life, I _imagine_ you'd eventually reach a pretty Zen place and, again, see all the same patterns emerging over time. That is what I think would be the coolest: gaining an intimate familiarity with all manner of patterns throughout life/reality, then being able to step back and notice higher level meta-patterns between those. I think you could gain some pretty deep wisdom.
Honestly if I could stay relatively healthy (like at least have the body of someone in their 40s) I'd be more than happy to live for at least a few hundred years. For me it feels like time flies by so fast and I'd love to have more time on the earth to leave an impact.
ive always said 120 because my great grandma died at 108. If my friends get to be old with me and I get to keep my body in healthy condition 200 would be great! I would work on astrophysics theories, make many paintings, probably music too. I do all these things now but I feel pressured by my lifeline and health. I would love to have less pressure by living longer
It appears that you have the fear of missing out. Don't be worry, because just as you wish you were living in some certain point of time in the past to see how it was like, when humanity is unified, people would wish they were us to see how we are living just right now.
I have literally spent so much of my life with mental health problems and abuse, the chance at becoming healthy again just as my mind is finally mending and expanding feels like a dream. I'd give myself a few centuries at least, and let's say a break from work every 50 year for 15 years so I can make career changes. I don't even need space travel, life has so many things to learn I wanna go down a lot of path. 40 years in IT, then 40 years in art, then maybe 40 years in sports. Then maybe 40 years as a meditating monk. So much to do, experience and learn.
Why depressing? Do you know that some therapies against aging allowed to extend life by 35% in mice and they are already being tested in humans? If you want to learn more, read the Lifespan blog about rejuvenation research. www.leafscience.org/blog Plenty of interviews with famous aging researchers.
I'd actually choose live forever. Some people could say: _"You will get bored"._ And I say... What if death is even more boring? Even worse: what if it's actually nothing (the most probable)?
@@CountingStars333 Once again your limited 21st century view impedes you. By the time we're travelling between multiple planets and even asteroid colonies, space won't be an issue for billions of humans. Also child births are decreasing for MEDC countries. Some hyper advanced countries are even losing native population.
living longer would be pretty cool on its own, and seeing all the changes and being around for that would be an amazing view live forever is my option, or maybe just a bit longer than usual
People talking about "oh living forever would be a torture", but most people that are dying wished to live more simply because that's our survival instinct that is enough to keep us going forever,living is only tiring when your body is not working well anymore like most seniors(I'm 24 so that's just my perception, I will need to discover what is really to become old)
I love how they say "Until you feel tired", it makes the concept of stopping age altogether as a good thing because death will become something we have complete control over, except for accidents or murder.
@@joshclark756 In that scenario, lifetime sentences would be undeniably a stupid idea. What's the point of housing, clothing, and feeding a criminal forever? It would make much more sense to try to rehabilitate criminals than to punish them senselessly. It makes sense to do it now, but people seem too vindictive to want that.
@@theyellowmeteor I agree with you on the fact that lifetime sentences forever is dumb, but I don't think we should rehabilitate murderers now because people who have killed innocent people shouldn't have a second chance at freedom because the dead people won't either. But I agree that petty crimes like drugs and stuff should get rehabilitation instead of prison.
@@harmony8278 I sympathize with your opinion on murderers, but it's based in a rather primitive idea of retribution. The people the murderer killed aren't coming back to life regardless of what we do. Logically speaking, there's no reason not to rehabilitate as many people as we can, regardless of the crimes they've committed. If we based our justice system on the idea that people can become better, we shouldn't get to arbitrarily restrict the opportunity only to those whose crimes we can personally let slide.
Ideally, we'll all be there to watch this universe end. Hopefully science will have gotten far enough by then that we can make a new one that we all go to together.
I think that you'd change your mind if you actually experienced it. I believe immortality could be the most horrific curse ever inflicted on someone. At some point, you would have seen, heard, done and said it all...several times. Then what? An eternity of nothing...that's a nightmare beyond anything I could imagine.
@@washingtonwebfoot9908 An eternity of nothing is exactly what death is. I personally want to live for as long as possible, if that means not aging then fine by me, not aging doesn't mean not dying, everyone would still die at some point.
I am only 68 years old & I am in pretty good health for my age. I still work full time in a fairly demanding job. However, I HATE being old & I wouldn't want to live past 75 . If science could restore my youth & allow me to live in a young body to say 120, I would consider that a very good deal.
Rejuvenation research is the area of scientific research in which underlying damages that build up and lead to medical conditions (such as most cancers, Alzheimer's, dementia, ect.) are explored in order to create medical therapies (called "rejuvenation biotechnologies"); after the rejuvenation biotechnologies are developed, the elderly will become perfectly healthy, which will, as a side effect of staying perfectly healthy, lead to indefinite lifespans (this is called "longevity escape velocity"); Aubrey de Grey from the SENS Research Foundation (which has published around 90 peer-reviewed papers) thinks there's a 50/50 chance of people and animals reaching longevity escape velocity by the year 2036.
My grandfather is 91 years old. He has very few wrinkles on his face and his beard is not completely white. He is still sharp minded. He is still alive and living with us. He is much healthier than the other old men۔...... And my grandmother is also alive she is 80yrs,she is more active and helthier than my grandfather but she have more wrinkles than him, she react like girls😂, she still has a sharp mind.
@ghost mall: I don't know if I am exactly "intimidated", but I do think about death a lot & many of my close friends have died in the last few years. My biggest fear is becoming infirm & having to be "taken care of". I want to go out as the man that I am right now & I want to go before any of my descendants die. At the present time, I am happy & healthy & strong. I put in 40+ hours of physical work every week & life is better than it ever was before in many ways. I could live in the present moment a long time. 😉
Just hit 33 last week. Thinking about aging is scary, I see my family members getting old right in front of me. Wish they would never go away and can be here for ever with me

@@aswath4999 When you reach 39, like me, or older you won't believe how fast your life has passed in front of your eyes "as if it was yesterday" as the old people say. Now I understand them better. Time flies!
You guys opened my eyes. Im actually scared to age and still dont know what to do in the future, but this video has helped me a lot. I love sience, is not just about numbers, its even about emotions and life, i want to think that the universe is made for life and not for luck.
They are already. There has been experiments with rejuvenating rats that are twins. One remained very young and active while the other got freaking old and has scoliosis.
Btw in nature we already have immortal beings: the jellyfish. They can naturally revert themselves into polyps and regrow indefinitely. That's why scientists are very interested in researching them so we can learn how they do it, and eventually apply it in us.
I think it’s a way of giving back to them. We have experimented on them for decades. They have saved millions of lives. So it’s fitting that they become the first immortals.
I'd love to be able to live as long as I want. Not necessarily "immortal," but as it is now, it feels as though there's no way to do all the things you want to do in life before it's too late to do them. That kinda sucks. What would be more important for me though is staying healthy as I age. I'd rather die than spend half my life hooked up to machines in a hospital bed.
I am with you +Mogawty Gaming. The aging itself is far more scarier and unpleasant to me personally that the death itself. I'm extremely individualistic, curious and introverted, so depending on someone and being unable to explore and do thing on oneself are horrifying to me, and far more crippling than the idea of death, as unorthodox as that may sound.
If we could do everything we want in a life time then there would be no questions to be answered, Einstein would still be discovering things and Issac Newton.
Perhaps you can't fix everything, but you can do a lot already by proper exercise, healthy diet, and mental stimulation and self improvement every day. You'd spend a lot less time in the hospital, if any at all. You'll still die, but you don't have to spend most of your later life in the hospital doing nothing and wasting away (to be honest, this is already a kind of death - mental death).
I work in a retirement community, and at 31 it hurts something fierce seeing people in their 90's (a few over 100 even) who are so slowly losing touch. Some of them more aware than others, but all of them touched by age itself. I've repeated told people I really don't really want to hit a point where my mind isn't aware anymore. Cure that. . .it depends on the state of the world. As the world stands now? Honestly? I'm not too sure I would want to go past 80 anyway. Yes, there are a lot of wonderful things in the world, the average individual just based on personal finances though is never going to experience them and I don't see society changing that drastically where you won't see the majority of the work force who (as things current stand) aren't going to be able to retire.
Eos has asked Zeus to give immortality for Tithonus Zeus has made Tithonus immortal Tithonus has not been granted eternal youth *Zeus has invented trolling*
@@ՏunPotato i think that a realistic immortality is not the same as invulnerability. I see immortality more as an achievement of a very advanced society, where it can stop most of the processes that caused the human body to stop working. Specially the ones that lead to ageing. So, we'd still be able to die, but it would still be up to choice.
But then I think: what is our brain's limit to storage memories? How long would it take for us to be a completely different person? How many years would be enough to forget the first century completely?
As a famous German software engineer and hacker once said: "Working with immortal software systems has shown me how important it is that humans eventually die."
Immortality is not all sunshine and rainbows. You will eventually go insane from not dying from old age. Humans were never meant to be immortal. The brain wouldn't be able to comprehend the very idea. You may think you want to be immortal, but what you as a person thinks is different to how your brain thinks.
Even if we found a cure for aging we still will die , when the universe comes to an end, you wouldn’t be inmortal only live ridiculously large lifespans.
Its the opposite for me, the idea of eventually dying fills me with absolute dread, i know others sometimes feel differently and thats fine, but it pisses me off when they try to force their believe on me for how they think i should feel about dying. Also i hate getting sleepy and needing to sleep, wish i could always be awake.
I feel the same as you feel. I don't know why people try to convince us that dying is OK, And that we all die. I believe we won't all die with advancements like these
@@Basinrails I mean...it is okay. Dying's just apart of the flow of the world, and not to be rude, but a life of constantly trying to escape death sounds like a sad existence.
I wish more people appreciated life. I'm only 24 and realize that 80 years isn't a lot. Yet I see so many young people blind to this fact and think they're going to be young forever. They can be arrogant and judge others older than them and don't see what's coming. This is why I'm all for life extension and treating everyone of ever age with respect and love.
@@libertyobw Im for not making immortality or anything close for the same reason. Why? Because of the suicide rate that's so closely related to schools. You see, most child and teenage suiciders are killing themselves because they cannot take the pressure of school. If we were to increase the life expectancy to 120 then children and teens get an extra two years of school. And I have no doubt that suicide rates with either double or quadruple because of this.
@@keulron2290 Why would we have to increase schooling time? Also we could reform the education system to where there's less stress. I know already that I want to do this. Focus less on grades and tests and more on learning and instilling a love of learning.
@@keulron2290 That is not an argument in any single way. With expansion of The Internet and neo-renessaince beliefs, education system as it has been left over from the old world, will eventually be replaced with self-learning and pure rationalism and logical realisation of the importance of our time and the abilities that we have.

Imagine a world where aging could be stopped and reversed. Government IDs would list your physical age and your mental age, as in when you stopped aging and then how long you’ve actually been alive
I would want to live for 450-10000 years, just to see all the advancements in technology and quality of life that we make. Also, it’d be nice to live on mars
ASI will do that for us. ASI is humans greatest friend. It'll save us, because we created it and it'll do its favor back by giving us immortality and advancement in civilization.

@@someaipretendingtobehuman3157 If immortality was a thing there would be no more births. Why do you think people have children? The reason is they don't want to be forgotten and they don't want their whole lives to be meaningless.
This really hits home for me. I love learning and observing, so the appeal of living a long time to experience more is very strong. But I also like the idea that my body will be recycled and my chemical components will become other things. Kind of an immortality in itself. Do we ever truly die? Were we ever truly alive? It's all very profound. I would like to live long enough to watch the trees I've planted grow to maturity, but I'm already in my 30s, and the window is limited. By the time these trees are old enough to develop hollows to support more life I'll already be dust. Who will buy my land? Will they keep the forest I've planted? Will it be bulldozed to build more houses? What will my legacy amount to? These thoughts make me crave longer life. The desire for control. But as I age I become more accepting that what will be will be, and the more I learn, the less I feel like any of it actually matters. All life must end in the great recycling of the universe, to develop and start again when the right elements come together. Earth is not anomalous. There's simply too much stuff out there for it to be. So what matter what happens to my little speck of existence? One day my elements will be part of a sun or black hole, as once they were, and will be again. But gee...to see those trees grow up would be nice 😄
Die Investoren werfen ihr Geld weg, um ein Heilmittel für die Verjüngung zu entwickeln. Kein Gerontologe ist in der Lage, ein Heilmittel gegen das Altern zu entwickeln. Für Genetiker gilt das noch weniger. Sie verstehen die Natur des Alterns nicht. Alle allgemein akzeptierten Theorien des Alterns sind fehlerhaft und dumm. Selbst diejenigen, die Nobelpreise gewonnen haben, haben sehr fehlerhafte Theorien. Aber es gibt eine echte Theorie des Alterns. Auf der Grundlage der wahren Theorie wurde eine Verjüngungstechnologie entwickelt, die effektiv funktioniert und die Menschen in drei Jahren um 15 Jahre verjüngt. Aber warum die Menschen verjüngen? Sie sollen so lange leben, wie Gott es zulässt. Alle sollten an Altersschwäche sterben. Dies ist das richtige, gerechte Naturgesetz. Инвесторы зря выкидывают свои деньги на разработку средства омоложения. Никто из геронтологов неспособен создать лекарство от старения. Генетики тем более. Они не понимают природу старения. Все общепринятые теории старения ошибочные и глупые. Даже у тех, кто получил нобелевские премии теории очень ошибочные. Но есть истинная теория старения. На базе истинной теории разработана технология омоложения, действует эффективно, за три года омоложение на 15 лет. Но зачем омолаживать людей? Пусть проживут, сколько позволит Бог. Все должны умереть от старости. Это правильный, справедливый закон природы. Investors are throwing their money away to develop a cure for rejuvenation. None of the gerontologists are capable of creating a cure for aging. Geneticists even less so. They do not understand the nature of aging. All the generally accepted theories of aging are flawed and stupid. Even those who have won Nobel prizes have very erroneous theories. But there is a true theory of aging. Based on the true theory, a technology for rejuvenation has been developed, it works effectively, rejuvenating people by 15 years in three years. But why rejuvenate people? Let them live as long as God allows. All should die of old age. This is the right, fair law of nature.
We planted trees in my backyard, at most 28 years ago. Some of the trees are huge now. They are a fast growing variety I guess, but I'd say you have hope.
Reminds me of the Book of Ecclesiastes. It tells the thoughts of an old, and arguably, a very successful man, recounting what in his mind, actually matters. What is left of the legacy and hard work, after death, and his thoughts on youth. It's weird to see how some things never seem to change. The book is between 2100-3000 years old by now. Different people get a very different reads from it. Some feel it's deeply pessimistic and cynical, but others find it pragmatic yet encouraging life.
Personally I'd love to live for a long, long, long time. I'm in love with humanity and progress, and I'd like to see as much of it as possible. How long exactly (or even roughly) would I want to live? Beats me. Your analogy of the child's summer evening is very fitting here. I fear death, that's true, but mainly I'm just saddened by the thought. I just want to see more.
Same old saying goes here, may i say We’ve borned too late to discover the Earth, and we’ve borned too early to discover the universe.. Yet i say, we’ve borned at the best time to discover things that some could not do before, so that’s something i suppose :D
if we end aging, people will still die from accidents and whatnot so its not like there wont be room for new people to fit into society. you will probably end up living like 200 years until something kills you instead of 100. so i think a lot of the fears of ending aging arent needed. however ending aging would only be worthwhile if we could keep somebody in a state where they could still work and whatnot. also id like to live to the year 2100, so 107. i think it would be nice to have existed in three different centuries and two different millennia. BTW i accidentlly hit "delete" when i meant to edit this comment, well there went like 45 replies and 350 likes. lol....
+RENZ thankfully i had it open in another tab so was able to take a screenshot of it from before i accidentally deleted it. its easy to hit the delete button since its so close to the edit button. drive.google.com/file/d/0B34VYS6F35J0NU1rY25qWEtpd28/view?usp=sharing its a real shame since we had an interesting conversation going.
+therealquade dont forget war though, that tends to be hard to avoid. i think you underestimate how likely it is for somebody to accidentally kill themselves by falling or whatever. i honestly think the death rate from that would go up if you live far away from anybody else because you might not have others to help you or even notice if you you had a tree fall on you or something. so i think we would still level off at around 200 to 500 years, but probably not make it past a thousand or so.
Not really about work... It's about maximising human consciousness so that (efficient) automation kicks in and we can be the sensory and artistic/creative aspect of society. We could care for our things, our machines, our companions of sorts, while also giving to the community our time and discussions and so on, since we'd well... by definition have more time to give! That's a future I could see myself in. Hard work is great and all, but why work hard - inefficiently, when you could work hard on what you're good at/interested in!
I completely think we should end aging. Imagine how many break throughs and discoveries we could have if scientists and doctors could work for a 100+ years
@Renagadde IKR I am hoping for this technology gets to us but if it don't you should be prepared because everyone before us already suffered it and my mom hasn't a mom and she still is a good mother who helps me. Whatever happens be like your mother to your childs (if she is not bad of course...)
It'll probably, definitely still be the same as it is today with the only difference being that some of those pedophiles would be many more decades or centuries older than their underage victims. I sadly don't think that's ever going to be completely gone even with humans living much longer lives.

Idk if it's just me but death scares me. Just the though of everything going dark and never thinking again. I just don't see myself being cool with dying. I wish I was religious so I had something to stop me from thinking this way.
Nope, being religious is exactly the opposite of what you should do. We need to become more scientific, in all aspects of our lives. We must divert all tax dollars to science, until the Immortality Robot is complete. Then we wont have to worry about dying.
I think you'd be suprised how few people are suited for eternal life maybe an dumb example, but there's a good point in all those fantasy storys and how eg. vampires that aren't killed by someone/-thing end up killing themselves after 400 year out of boredom the world may seem big but already it is possible to travel and see pretty much all of it in a lifetime and we already live long enought to see repatition in human behaviour and be dissapointed, dont need to live to 400 to get existential depression, you can alredy get that with 20 with new entertainment media you might stay entertained in the future but also your standarts will rise, you're probably going to be just as happy with a playstation 6 as you were with a PS 2 yeas ago, or end up trying to evolve and reinvent everything to the point that its nothing more than a sick corrupted perversion of any human concept and from your current perspective maybe even worse than death imagine 300 year from now, you sitting in a restaurant drinking through a straw the spinal fluid of some human-rat-hybrid-clone because thats the health-trend that year...
My personal answer? I want to live with my grandparents more, with my mother more. They have provided so much for me and took care of me. I want to return that favor, but it will take a considerable amount of time to do so. I want to live so I can give them their life back. I want to live for them to live.
also sorry to break your bubble but even with immortality. The probability of you dying from an accident is pretty high. The chances of you living passed 1k is pretty slim. You know, car crashes, plane crashes, getting shot etc. changes are bad, But u know what? if u want to live forever, go for it! (Though i recommend just freezing yourself) less chance of dying randomly and being unsavable. and if we have a galactus universe they probs have the tech to bring u back. so win win
I've gone through this questions in my childhood and teenage years, living healthily to 90-100 years old while achieving everything they wanted in life is highly unrealistic yet most people tend to be overly optimistic about that outcome and not do anything to prevent aging
You shouldn’t be overly pessimistic either. It literally does not beneficial. It’s not highly unrealistic as long as you take care of your health and seek help if things come up.
Wear sunscreen, collagen supplements, exercise three times a week, light exercise daily, retinoids, eat fresh produce full of antioxidants, no processed sugar
A lot of people say "but if I would live forever life would be worthless" Idc, the fact that I could see humanity evolve from what we have now to colonizing other planets, building dyson spheres, it just makes me hyped for what exciting news I could potentially miss by dying, if I had a chance to live forever I would definitely take it
120 years? We should go for 300+, astronomers 100 years ago were fantasizing going to the moon, now we have a goal for life on mars, goals are a limit, aim for your dreams
If you can even aim for your dreams at all, your goals are not the limit. One thing we need to accept is that we have no idea where the limits of technology are

Die Investoren werfen ihr Geld weg, um ein Heilmittel für die Verjüngung zu entwickeln. Kein Gerontologe ist in der Lage, ein Heilmittel gegen das Altern zu entwickeln. Für Genetiker gilt das noch weniger. Sie verstehen die Natur des Alterns nicht. Alle allgemein akzeptierten Theorien des Alterns sind fehlerhaft und dumm. Selbst diejenigen, die Nobelpreise gewonnen haben, haben sehr fehlerhafte Theorien. Aber es gibt eine echte Theorie des Alterns. Auf der Grundlage der wahren Theorie wurde eine Verjüngungstechnologie entwickelt, die effektiv funktioniert und die Menschen in drei Jahren um 15 Jahre verjüngt. Aber warum die Menschen verjüngen? Sie sollen so lange leben, wie Gott es zulässt. Alle sollten an Altersschwäche sterben. Dies ist das richtige, gerechte Naturgesetz. Инвесторы зря выкидывают свои деньги на разработку средства омоложения. Никто из геронтологов неспособен создать лекарство от старения. Генетики тем более. Они не понимают природу старения. Все общепринятые теории старения ошибочные и глупые. Даже у тех, кто получил нобелевские премии теории очень ошибочные. Но есть истинная теория старения. На базе истинной теории разработана технология омоложения, действует эффективно, за три года омоложение на 15 лет. Но зачем омолаживать людей? Пусть проживут, сколько позволит Бог. Все должны умереть от старости. Это правильный, справедливый закон природы. Investors are throwing their money away to develop a cure for rejuvenation. None of the gerontologists are capable of creating a cure for aging. Geneticists even less so. They do not understand the nature of aging. All the generally accepted theories of aging are flawed and stupid. Even those who have won Nobel prizes have very erroneous theories. But there is a true theory of aging. Based on the true theory, a technology for rejuvenation has been developed, it works effectively, rejuvenating people by 15 years in three years. But why rejuvenate people? Let them live as long as God allows. All should die of old age. This is the right, fair law of nature.
Definitely agree, learning new skills, colonization on different planets, exo-planets, befriending different alien life forms in which both parties have each others best interests at heart etc..
But I think some people would just live forever to run from the uncertainty of death so I think we should somehow find out what is after death and extend the life expectancy of humans because it is too short but if we know what will happen to us after death we wouldn’t be as reluctant to die
I'm going to study hard and I'll try to be a scientist for myself to take the initiative to prevent someone's death. So no one can experience losing a parent Edit: *Just ignore death*
It's kind of weird and sad to think of life, knowing we all gonna die anyways and thinking what's gonna happen in 1000 years... Well, it would only be great to live longer to see our children grow old and our loved ones' future which all that matters in the end. To recognise our regrets, our failures, and successive moments and if, ever, we could get a chance to rebirth and make things right...But that's just a myth - the thing is to start now, and don't waste a second of your life especially with your family and friends. ♡♡♡
It may not be only myth, at least for one species. The jellyfish species Turritopsis dorhnii can undergo a literal "rebirth" - their entire body reverts to a baby stage, down to the cellular level. However, they can't do it again until they've fully grown again.
it won't evolve much. science can't advance endlessly. there will be a moment when things are gonna chill down, i just hope in that moment won't be such tech that could erase humanity in a bit
This might be true, but the limits of it are so far beyond were we are now that it would take centuries at least, if not millenia to get there. Keep in mind that the amount of energy we could harness in directly tied to this and it is possible we might reach plateaus as we advance to the next threshold, but there is enough that is possible with the current laws of physics to keep up learning and experimenting for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years. The end of science may be a thing, but it nowhere withing sight yet.
Francois Maspuche Yes, I would try to prevent it. I think that it is safe to say that everyone has some sort of goal, that they would like to reach in life, something that they want to achieve. Now, they may spend their lives trying to achieve that, but once they are done, then what? Once, you have achieved everything that you wanted to achieve, what is there left to do? Living after that would just be a waste, I think a better alternative would be the ability to choose when you would like your life to end. That way you have an infinite quantity of time to complete your to-do list, and once everything is checked, it's time to go. After playing outside for so long wouldn't you get bored? Eventually, I think anyone would get tired, and go to sleep. Also overpopulation. . .
@Lord Fellaini ok tell me what is the last digit of PI? where does the universe end? why do you think we cant infinitely advance technology when know one knows the upper limits of how far we can go?
Ah, a fellow historian... As another historian, I'd like to see change through my very own eyes, maybe it would make History itself more comprehensible
finnyliverpool89 I am not a historian but I am interested in history (I got a 98 on my last AP world test) and I think the same way and as a result want to love for as long as possible to study how humanity develops as a side project to whatever else I am doing
You wouldn't though. You wouldn't want to live long enough to see your friends and family die, to see plant life and animals die, to see the world die.
Whilst I work for Lifespan.io I am also a keen historian (WW2 mostly) and I share your wish to see as much of human history and evolution as possible. This is why I support science increasing healthy human lifespan so we can get to see it :)
I really hope some outstandings progress in medical research let us live way longer than we currently are! Life has so much potential! Let's try to enjoy it at its best! :D
Shadoune666 even at sad moments i think like this, i would love to be alive when humanity can explore de universe and learn everything in this infinite playground
I want to live 50 000 without ageing, while never being sick, never getting any memory losses and with the time perception i have right now. Edit: And i also want to be the same person everytime. Not different clones.
but robots might be able to take all our jobs, ensuring one's work is no longer necessary to keep human society functioning. rest assured, I'm sure UBI will come to exist soon enough!
*“How long would you want to live?”* I once worked as a bank teller & a regular customer of mine was a man in his 80’s. While I was processing his transaction he said, *“Never get old son. Everybody you know & love dies.”* And it was just about the saddest thing I’d ever heard. I don’t think I’d want to live to be so old that I’d be all alone. Yes its amazing to see people who live into their 100’s but then take into account they’ve lost their parents, all their siblings, many beloved animals, all their friends, their husband or their wife & often by that age most if not all of their children. That’s too much pain for one lifetime. Now what if everybody in general lived longer? That’s another matter entirely.
That's the issue, when you ask most people the question their mind's immediately jump to some anime or science fiction show where the protagonist was tortured for eternity through some Faustian bargain version of immortality. What we're talking about is a version of immortality with all of the upsides and none of the downsides. It's not even true immortality, accidents will still happen.
Thought provoking. I don't want to be old... Unable to do things... But I do enjoy the collection of knowledge and ideas that I've ammased so far... I'd like to be able to continue to do so... I'm not sure how you'd ever decide you'd had enough? Also... There would surely need to be a limit on reproduction... We'd run out of room/resources very quickly...?
@@1richbish Reproduction rates are declining with infant survival. For example Spain is dying faster than it is making new babies, Japan is currently really old in comparison to everyone else, and the US birthrate has declined from 3.4 children a mother to 1.
@@brianlam5847 I think people are reproducing less because people's desires have changed from those of 10-20-30 years ago. There's more to do (for the average person, now) with your time on this planet than there was back then... Also the majority of people can't afford 3 to raise kids 😜

“The end of biological aging would not mean the end of death in any way. It’s more like a Summer evening when you were a kid, and your mom called you inside. You just wanted to keep playing, have a little more fun during sunset before you went to sleep. It’s not about playing forever, just a little longer, until we feel tired.”

So help the movement. Proper life-extension technology is the most important thing we will ever invent.

Man, that just screams _Mr.Nobody_ Good film
Probably 1000 years from today, in the year 3017 - there might be a cure for aging. Those of us here today, watching this video has no hope of immortality.
We can blame ourselves for being born too early. This is sad indeed, science research is not advancing fast enough, or we are simply not clever enough and hit a technological 'road block'
I think the most terrifying consequence of ending aging forever is not even the loneliness or the boredom or anything, but the fact that people will continue dying, except they'll all die of stuff like diseases and accidents, making their death even more tragic than a simple death by so-called "old age", since they'd otherwise be able to keep living indefinitely.
Make humans and animals young new and immortal
death by accidents or diseases would be much preferred considering aging completely cripples you down to misery
speak for yourself. i'd like to not suffer for 20 years before dying
you might have missed or not understood the "have a little more fun during sunset" analogy but "keep living indefinitely" is not the goal.
@@ecogreen123 Yeah, I’d still definitely prefer CGP Grey’s side of things; if I actually DO die from an accident, please re-make me from the last time something’s copied and updated my data, and then promptly catch “me” up on what happened right after.
Living forever would allow us to have experts in all fields become unfathomably more experienced, and there would be a complete paradigm shift in the speed of our endeavours

But by technology we can make humans live more longer as they want remember in 1940s the average life of a human was only 35 -40 years and now humans can live more than even 100 years but the average of a human is now 80- 90 years
But after millions and millions of years humans will totally wiped put from this world if we can control the global warming

Rycon Roleplays fucking love your vids man. You deserve more subs! Currently watching Logan's Dawn!
The law of eventuality dictates that you will do everything if given enough time. Now if you will forget and have to relearn something it would stay interesting. But, like many stories of immortality, an immortal yearns for the one thing they have yet to experience. Death.

Yeah, have fun in 7 billion years from now when the sun expands 100 million miles across and consumes the Earth. Enjoy roasting into nothing for eternity :)
Eemeli Kuusela it's interesting to think as to how we'd need to manage memories over time
I feel like the idea of wanting to die after living for a long time comes from the idea that after having experienced "everything" there wouldn't be much worth living for, but imo that really only applies in constrained situations, like the "would you rather die at 40 or live forever alone in a box" dilemma. In the real world, even if you manage to perfect every skill you ever wanted to, there's still all of the other people in the world to surround yourself with. On your own, eternal life might get dull, but if you allow the people around to influence you then I'd imagine live could stay interesting indefinitely.
Exactly, the possibilities are endless when it comes to science. We can achieve anything.
@@immortalityovereverythingscrawny nerd 🤓
Well, it's mostly because we transform something we don't have (yet or not) in our power to do, in something we force us to think we want.
It's all about perspective.
The day it becomes possible, you will see an enormous drop in "I'm ok with dying".
I'm not the gambling type, but for that, I might be gambling.
That's the interaction that make life interesting. 10 or 100 or 100 000 years.
With no interaction, only 1 year could kill you from boredom and by going litteraly crazy. (It's a punition to take someone out of any interaction, and even a torture).
Yeah, I don't see how I'd ever get bored. At no point in the last couple million years have we as a species stopped learning and advancing and growing. I don't think an individual would, either.
Knowledge-wise, there will likely always be more to learn. It would take me several years of dedicated study just to master -- truly master -- _many_ (not all) of the aspects of my current job. By the time I did that, everything would have changed, and I'd have to learn all the new stuff. And that's just for my one measly specific role! Let alone all the other fields and stuff to learn!
Personal development is a bit more of a question mark for me. I think you could feasibly learn how to get along harmoniously with all 8 billion people in the world. It would take a long time and require a _ton_ of personal growth, but I think it's feasible. If you spent a few millenia cultivating deep, meaningful relationships with just ~500 people, some of them similar to you, some of them vastly different, and some of whom you downright loathe... I don't think there would be much more for you to learn on that front. I would guess that forming deep bonds with the remaining 8 billion would probably be a breeze; you'd see the same patterns emerging that you already learned how to navigate. Or when it comes to dealing with the trauma of life, I _imagine_ you'd eventually reach a pretty Zen place and, again, see all the same patterns emerging over time.
That is what I think would be the coolest: gaining an intimate familiarity with all manner of patterns throughout life/reality, then being able to step back and notice higher level meta-patterns between those. I think you could gain some pretty deep wisdom.
some hundred years sure. maybe a couple of thousands even. but do you really thing you would find things interesting after a trillion years?

I have literally spent so much of my life with mental health problems and abuse, the chance at becoming healthy again just as my mind is finally mending and expanding feels like a dream. I'd give myself a few centuries at least, and let's say a break from work every 50 year for 15 years so I can make career changes.
I don't even need space travel, life has so many things to learn I wanna go down a lot of path. 40 years in IT, then 40 years in art, then maybe 40 years in sports. Then maybe 40 years as a meditating monk. So much to do, experience and learn.

If scientists ever find a cure for aging then the first immortals will probably be rats.
best comment so far
They are already. There has been experiments with rejuvenating rats that are twins. One remained very young and active while the other got freaking old and has scoliosis.
Btw in nature we already have immortal beings: the jellyfish.
They can naturally revert themselves into polyps and regrow indefinitely. That's why scientists are very interested in researching them so we can learn how they do it, and eventually apply it in us.
I think it’s a way of giving back to them. We have experimented on them for decades. They have saved millions of lives. So it’s fitting that they become the first immortals.
Underrated comment :(
I'd love to be able to live as long as I want. Not necessarily "immortal," but as it is now, it feels as though there's no way to do all the things you want to do in life before it's too late to do them. That kinda sucks. What would be more important for me though is staying healthy as I age. I'd rather die than spend half my life hooked up to machines in a hospital bed.
I am with you +Mogawty Gaming. The aging itself is far more scarier and unpleasant to me personally that the death itself. I'm extremely individualistic, curious and introverted, so depending on someone and being unable to explore and do thing on oneself are horrifying to me, and far more crippling than the idea of death, as unorthodox as that may sound.
If we could do everything we want in a life time then there would be no questions to be answered, Einstein would still be discovering things and Issac Newton.
Perhaps you can't fix everything, but you can do a lot already by proper exercise, healthy diet, and mental stimulation and self improvement every day.

You'll still die, but you don't have to spend most of your later life in the hospital doing nothing and wasting away (to be honest, this is already a kind of death - mental death).

Death is slumber.
I work in a retirement community, and at 31 it hurts something fierce seeing people in their 90's (a few over 100 even) who are so slowly losing touch. Some of them more aware than others, but all of them touched by age itself. I've repeated told people I really don't really want to hit a point where my mind isn't aware anymore. Cure that. . .it depends on the state of the world. As the world stands now? Honestly? I'm not too sure I would want to go past 80 anyway. Yes, there are a lot of wonderful things in the world, the average individual just based on personal finances though is never going to experience them and I don't see society changing that drastically where you won't see the majority of the work force who (as things current stand) aren't going to be able to retire.

I'd rather be able to live forever, and decide myself if I lived long enough.
Samee
Agreed
That's my thought process, but then how do I die, suicide or will they simply take away my immortality and I wait to die
@@ՏunPotato i think that a realistic immortality is not the same as invulnerability. I see immortality more as an achievement of a very advanced society, where it can stop most of the processes that caused the human body to stop working. Specially the ones that lead to ageing. So, we'd still be able to die, but it would still be up to choice.
But then I think: what is our brain's limit to storage memories? How long would it take for us to be a completely different person? How many years would be enough to forget the first century completely?
I honestly wouldn't want to die at all. The possibility of being able to live so many technology advancements is extremely exciting to me!
As a famous German software engineer and hacker once said: "Working with immortal software systems has shown me how important it is that humans eventually die."
Immortality is not all sunshine and rainbows. You will eventually go insane from not dying from old age. Humans were never meant to be immortal. The brain wouldn't be able to comprehend the very idea. You may think you want to be immortal, but what you as a person thinks is different to how your brain thinks.
Even if we found a cure for aging we still will die , when the universe comes to an end, you wouldn’t be inmortal only live ridiculously large lifespans.
Me too
@مز يد نوا ف There is no heaven
Its the opposite for me, the idea of eventually dying fills me with absolute dread, i know others sometimes feel differently and thats fine, but it pisses me off when they try to force their believe on me for how they think i should feel about dying. Also i hate getting sleepy and needing to sleep, wish i could always be awake.
sleep does waste most of your time, but that's why I like it so much.
I feel the same as you feel. I don't know why people try to convince us that dying is OK, And that we all die. I believe we won't all die with advancements like these

I wish more people appreciated life. I'm only 24 and realize that 80 years isn't a lot. Yet I see so many young people blind to this fact and think they're going to be young forever. They can be arrogant and judge others older than them and don't see what's coming. This is why I'm all for life extension and treating everyone of ever age with respect and love.
@@libertyobw Im for not making immortality or anything close for the same reason. Why? Because of the suicide rate that's so closely related to schools. You see, most child and teenage suiciders are killing themselves because they cannot take the pressure of school. If we were to increase the life expectancy to 120 then children and teens get an extra two years of school. And I have no doubt that suicide rates with either double or quadruple because of this.
@@keulron2290 Why would we have to increase schooling time? Also we could reform the education system to where there's less stress. I know already that I want to do this. Focus less on grades and tests and more on learning and instilling a love of learning.
@@keulron2290 That is not an argument in any single way. With expansion of The Internet and neo-renessaince beliefs, education system as it has been left over from the old world, will eventually be replaced with self-learning and pure rationalism and logical realisation of the importance of our time and the abilities that we have.

ummm
BasedRogue exactly my thoughts
This really hits home for me. I love learning and observing, so the appeal of living a long time to experience more is very strong. But I also like the idea that my body will be recycled and my chemical components will become other things. Kind of an immortality in itself. Do we ever truly die? Were we ever truly alive? It's all very profound. I would like to live long enough to watch the trees I've planted grow to maturity, but I'm already in my 30s, and the window is limited. By the time these trees are old enough to develop hollows to support more life I'll already be dust. Who will buy my land? Will they keep the forest I've planted? Will it be bulldozed to build more houses? What will my legacy amount to? These thoughts make me crave longer life. The desire for control. But as I age I become more accepting that what will be will be, and the more I learn, the less I feel like any of it actually matters. All life must end in the great recycling of the universe, to develop and start again when the right elements come together. Earth is not anomalous. There's simply too much stuff out there for it to be. So what matter what happens to my little speck of existence? One day my elements will be part of a sun or black hole, as once they were, and will be again. But gee...to see those trees grow up would be nice 😄

На базе истинной теории разработана технология омоложения, действует эффективно, за три года омоложение на 15 лет. Но зачем омолаживать людей? Пусть проживут, сколько позволит Бог. Все должны умереть от старости. Это правильный, справедливый закон природы.
Investors are throwing their money away to develop a cure for rejuvenation. None of the gerontologists are capable of creating a cure for aging. Geneticists even less so. They do not understand the nature of aging. All the generally accepted theories of aging are flawed and stupid. Even those who have won Nobel prizes have very erroneous theories. But there is a true theory of aging. Based on the true theory, a technology for rejuvenation has been developed, it works effectively, rejuvenating people by 15 years in three years. But why rejuvenate people? Let them live as long as God allows. All should die of old age. This is the right, fair law of nature.
We planted trees in my backyard, at most 28 years ago. Some of the trees are huge now. They are a fast growing variety I guess, but I'd say you have hope.
Reminds me of the Book of Ecclesiastes. It tells the thoughts of an old, and arguably, a very successful man, recounting what in his mind, actually matters. What is left of the legacy and hard work, after death, and his thoughts on youth. It's weird to see how some things never seem to change. The book is between 2100-3000 years old by now.
Different people get a very different reads from it. Some feel it's deeply pessimistic and cynical, but others find it pragmatic yet encouraging life.
Personally I'd love to live for a long, long, long time. I'm in love with humanity and progress, and I'd like to see as much of it as possible.
How long exactly (or even roughly) would I want to live? Beats me. Your analogy of the child's summer evening is very fitting here. I fear death, that's true, but mainly I'm just saddened by the thought. I just want to see more.

Onur that is one niece quote
Doubt it the world is progressing into craziness at an alarming rate
if we end aging, people will still die from accidents and whatnot so its not like there wont be room for new people to fit into society. you will probably end up living like 200 years until something kills you instead of 100. so i think a lot of the fears of ending aging arent needed. however ending aging would only be worthwhile if we could keep somebody in a state where they could still work and whatnot.
also id like to live to the year 2100, so 107. i think it would be nice to have existed in three different centuries and two different millennia.

its a real shame since we had an interesting conversation going.
+therealquade dont forget war though, that tends to be hard to avoid. i think you underestimate how likely it is for somebody to accidentally kill themselves by falling or whatever. i honestly think the death rate from that would go up if you live far away from anybody else because you might not have others to help you or even notice if you you had a tree fall on you or something. so i think we would still level off at around 200 to 500 years, but probably not make it past a thousand or so.
If we could end ageing before 'middle age', say around 30, I think it'd be well worth it.
Not really about work... It's about maximising human consciousness so that (efficient) automation kicks in and we can be the sensory and artistic/creative aspect of society. We could care for our things, our machines, our companions of sorts, while also giving to the community our time and discussions and so on, since we'd well... by definition have more time to give!

На базе истинной теории разработана технология омоложения, действует эффективно, за три года омоложение на 15 лет. Но зачем омолаживать людей? Пусть проживут, сколько позволит Бог. Все должны умереть от старости. Это правильный, справедливый закон природы.
Investors are throwing their money away to develop a cure for rejuvenation. None of the gerontologists are capable of creating a cure for aging. Geneticists even less so. They do not understand the nature of aging. All the generally accepted theories of aging are flawed and stupid. Even those who have won Nobel prizes have very erroneous theories. But there is a true theory of aging. Based on the true theory, a technology for rejuvenation has been developed, it works effectively, rejuvenating people by 15 years in three years. But why rejuvenate people? Let them live as long as God allows. All should die of old age. This is the right, fair law of nature.
Definitely agree, learning new skills, colonization on different planets, exo-planets, befriending different alien life forms in which both parties have each others best interests at heart etc..

Living till you feel satisfied with your life. That would be enough ...
But I think some people would just live forever to run from the uncertainty of death so I think we should somehow find out what is after death and extend the life expectancy of humans because it is too short but if we know what will happen to us after death we wouldn’t be as reluctant to die
gamer when you die there is nothing
@@st8vie282 how do you know
@@El_hairyGato I don't
What about if you are satisfied with your life in your 30's should you die then?
I'm going to study hard and I'll try to be a scientist for myself to take the initiative to prevent someone's death.
So no one can experience losing a parent
Edit: *Just ignore death*
People will still die form murders and other causes.

It's kind of weird and sad to think of life, knowing we all gonna die anyways and thinking what's gonna happen in 1000 years... Well, it would only be great to live longer to see our children grow old and our loved ones' future which all that matters in the end. To recognise our regrets, our failures, and successive moments and if, ever, we could get a chance to rebirth and make things right...But that's just a myth - the thing is to start now, and don't waste a second of your life especially with your family and friends. ♡♡♡
It may not be only myth, at least for one species.
The jellyfish species Turritopsis dorhnii can undergo a literal "rebirth" - their entire body reverts to a baby stage, down to the cellular level. However, they can't do it again until they've fully grown again.
500-1000 years. I wanna see the fucked up technology of the future
it won't evolve much. science can't advance endlessly. there will be a moment when things are gonna chill down, i just hope in that moment won't be such tech that could erase humanity in a bit
there will be a maximum limit. you can't infinitely advance technology since nothing is infinite.
This might be true, but the limits of it are so far beyond were we are now that it would take centuries at least, if not millenia to get there. Keep in mind that the amount of energy we could harness in directly tied to this and it is possible we might reach plateaus as we advance to the next threshold, but there is enough that is possible with the current laws of physics to keep up learning and experimenting for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years. The end of science may be a thing, but it nowhere withing sight yet.
Francois Maspuche Yes, I would try to prevent it. I think that it is safe to say that everyone has some sort of goal, that they would like to reach in life, something that they want to achieve. Now, they may spend their lives trying to achieve that, but once they are done, then what? Once, you have achieved everything that you wanted to achieve, what is there left to do? Living after that would just be a waste, I think a better alternative would be the ability to choose when you would like your life to end. That way you have an infinite quantity of time to complete your to-do list, and once everything is checked, it's time to go. After playing outside for so long wouldn't you get bored? Eventually, I think anyone would get tired, and go to sleep. Also overpopulation. . .
@Lord Fellaini ok tell me what is the last digit of PI? where does the universe end? why do you think we cant infinitely advance technology when know one knows the upper limits of how far we can go?
As a historian, I consider the future of humanity as the history of humanity - therefore I want to live for as long as humanity does.
Ah, a fellow historian... As another historian, I'd like to see change through my very own eyes, maybe it would make History itself more comprehensible
You might as well become History too. Pretty ironic.
finnyliverpool89 I am not a historian but I am interested in history (I got a 98 on my last AP world test) and I think the same way and as a result want to love for as long as possible to study how humanity develops as a side project to whatever else I am doing
You wouldn't though. You wouldn't want to live long enough to see your friends and family die, to see plant life and animals die, to see the world die.
Whilst I work for Lifespan.io I am also a keen historian (WW2 mostly) and I share your wish to see as much of human history and evolution as possible. This is why I support science increasing healthy human lifespan so we can get to see it :)
I really hope some outstandings progress in medical research let us live way longer than we currently are!
Life has so much potential! Let's try to enjoy it at its best! :D
Shadoune666 even at sad moments i think like this, i would love to be alive when humanity can explore de universe and learn everything in this infinite playground
Luan Rosa we will never explore the universe because it's always going away we can only explore our galaxy probably all be dead by then anyway
No pensé en encontrarte aquí.
And the Earth will be totally destroyed by overpopulation
T amo shadoune
I want to live 50 000 without ageing, while never being sick, never getting any memory losses and with the time perception i have right now.
Edit: And i also want to be the same person everytime. Not different clones.
I wish I could live long enough to see an original comment for once
Facts
Original? What's that? It sounds like some mythical concept. If such a thing were to exist I imagine that it would be harder to find than Atlantis.
You mean right after the heat death of the universe?
You just wrote an original comment
Ironic
"If you could work for 150 years"
Oh god no, end me now
Yes. we can , but since humans are most disgusting and cruel animals i would suggest even shorten the lifespan of humans to only 45 years.
but robots might be able to take all our jobs, ensuring one's work is no longer necessary to keep human society functioning. rest assured, I'm sure UBI will come to exist soon enough!

*“How long would you want to live?”* I once worked as a bank teller & a regular customer of mine was a man in his 80’s. While I was processing his transaction he said, *“Never get old son. Everybody you know & love dies.”* And it was just about the saddest thing I’d ever heard. I don’t think I’d want to live to be so old that I’d be all alone. Yes its amazing to see people who live into their 100’s but then take into account they’ve lost their parents, all their siblings, many beloved animals, all their friends, their husband or their wife & often by that age most if not all of their children. That’s too much pain for one lifetime. Now what if everybody in general lived longer? That’s another matter entirely.
That's the issue, when you ask most people the question their mind's immediately jump to some anime or science fiction show where the protagonist was tortured for eternity through some Faustian bargain version of immortality. What we're talking about is a version of immortality with all of the upsides and none of the downsides. It's not even true immortality, accidents will still happen.
Thought provoking. I don't want to be old... Unable to do things... But I do enjoy the collection of knowledge and ideas that I've ammased so far... I'd like to be able to continue to do so... I'm not sure how you'd ever decide you'd had enough?
Also... There would surely need to be a limit on reproduction... We'd run out of room/resources very quickly...?
@@1richbish Reproduction rates are declining with infant survival. For example Spain is dying faster than it is making new babies, Japan is currently really old in comparison to everyone else, and the US birthrate has declined from 3.4 children a mother to 1.
@@1richbish This means that our society in the future will be a small group of immortals rather than an overpopulated mess.
@@brianlam5847 I think people are reproducing less because people's desires have changed from those of 10-20-30 years ago. There's more to do (for the average person, now) with your time on this planet than there was back then... Also the majority of people can't afford 3 to raise kids 😜
