Although we’ve been socialized to accept death as an inevitability, and live our lives knowing that its looming shadow will one day catch up with us, many of us might never really come to terms with it. Throughout our evolution, we’ve come up with ideas, beliefs and theories that attempt to shine a light deep into the cold, dark abyss of death to give ourselves a hope of continued living and everlasting existence. Could we really stop our cells from aging? If you could, would you want to be immortal?

It scares me to think our consciousness will cease to exist one day. Like, everything we will ever learn about, will just be gone. I don't want to get into a debate about the afterlife, but this thought is always crossing my mind often. I somehow hope there is some final moment where you relive your life, but it lasts forever or possibly being reborn in some other universe, reliving your life. I know that all sounds silly, but that's my train of thought on the subject.
Your consciousness will cease to exist tonight :D
no seriously, you will (dream) die tonight
Everything we have learned, interacted with, and felt will live on. Existence does not cease after our death. Death is the process of the conscious becoming the unconscious. Do not fear death. It is simply another stage of life
I astral project and lucid dream, so maybe there is more to your consciousness than you know.
@@apurvaaryan7984 I used to try and astral project. I would do that technique with the invisible rope and feeling vibrations, but always got scared haha.
we’re advanced meat bags
I felt it when he said- "Let us die young or let us live forever"
"Forever Young" by Alphaville. It's a great song. I first heard it in one of my all-time favorite movies, Napoleon Dynamite.
So glad we get to have both of those things!
And that my friend is a guarantee 💯 👌
i have a question, is invincibility a power? If so invincibility means you can not die from anything, but age. If immortality is also a power you can die from other causes but not age. In this case if yes, they just merged them both together but forgot to add the term invincibility.
@guest8473 Exactly! That is what we need.
Immortality is my biggest dream. It would allow me to experience so much more that I would be able to in a measly 80ish years. I want to see the last star die and live well beyond that
Absolutely agree! Only I don’t want to see the last star dying, I want the whole universe to live forever too, I want to explore and experience way more than messily whatever 60 years might give (and even that is not promised at all).
Same!
I hope we ditch this universe before the last star dies, 'cause this universe is a sinking ship. Maybe hop onto a younger universe.
Absolutely, this is also my biggest Dream, I Want See How the Whole Thing in the Galaxy And Universe Destroy and Of Course Dying is only for the pessimistic option
Hmmmmmm a lot of cenobites in the comments 😂
I don’t want to live forever, I just want to choose when I die
Well, you do have some choice. You will die eventually, but you can always choose to die at this moment (via committing unalive). However, you can't really say you'll die in exactly one month as you could die unexpectedly.
Exactly
@BradynLee09 😂💀
You have a choice Rightnow and you are choosing to live. the truth is we dont want to die
That moment never comes , ask 100 year old grandfather if he wants to die ? He would say little more …
My only regret in life is one day i will die and i wouldn't be able to experience new technologies that humans will invent in the future.
same here
I wouldn't get what i want anyways , i give up, only a god can grant my wish
well, who's to say the technologies and or future will be bright
@@______yawn6419 not pessimists like you
@@Basinrails or delusionists like yourself
Just a random thought.. Imagine humanity achieve immortality.
Imagine that as the time passes, our lack of mortality make us tired and want to experience death.
Now imagine that even immortal, the universe will end, and we will want to escape this "death".
Then with "infinite" time at our disposal and a lot of accumulated knowledge, we achieve highers tiers on the kardashev scale, and we decide to recreate the universe in a simulation which will run at a lower time speed so we can live mortal and common life inside the simulation just to know how it is to be a human again, where death is just a checkpoint back to the "reality" so you can choose to play it again or wait the universe end.
Sorry for this trippy idea, but when we talk about infinities and life, it literally makes me believe that ANYTHING is possible after we die because infinite time could pass in a instant since you will not experience it and you may born again if the universe is cyclical.
Just an existencial dread. lol
christ
very well thought out
potential TV series idea
lol
😀🙂🙂🙂
THANK YOU!
I don't want to live forever, I just want to live for as long as I choose, to live the life I want, to be the person I want, and I really don't want to get old, that's it.
It's not about living forever, it's about gaining a bit more control over your life.
This something that all of these discussions seem to neglect.
Death DOES give life meaning, but the decay leading up to it, and how brief it is, does not.
People can have option to end, live forever, no physical body but consciousness as form of Computer or AI and burial and cremation called cryonic preservation.
@@Meghna_Sharma2 No thanks.
@@THExRISER welcome
Easily one of my favorite channels, can't wait for more thought provoking content 🔥
What truly scares me is just the fact that I believe death is like deep sleep.
You fall a sleep and wake up hours after without knowing what happened in those hours.
That’s how I think death will be like, just forever. Just like before you were alive, you don’t remember anything and you weren’t there.
But to realize you don't remember, you have to be awake...
@@kayskreed it’s really crazy to think about. you can’t even fathom not being able to think or be something. i try to think of what i was before i was born, and that is what i imagine death could possibly be like. so literally just nothing
I think biological immortality would be a great thing. It's not like you can't die, you're just immune to aging. You still have the option to end your life whenever you want.
suicide prevention program
Yeah, That's the kind of immortality I want.
I hope god don't condemn us for that 😓
You don't that's what immortality means to never die
@@blacklyfe5543 Biological immortality means you cannot ever naturally die (to old age), but outside sources like diseases or weapons can still take your life.
On my mother's side I know my great grandparents before they died at the ages of 110 and 112. They were both devout Catholics. One thing they have told me is that 100 years is not nearly as long as people think it is. The only people who think it's long are those who are currently young.
Exactly. I’m just over 30 and I already feel like the time is slipping through my fingers, I already want more of it because I see how many different things I want to learn or create, how slow I move comparatively, and how little time I might live.
I want to have all the time in the world to explore everything, create everything I want, etc.
Only absolutely boring people with no interests can be ok with death, at least in my opinion. And even they, I think, if given an option of immortality and actual ability to seek some interest would find it compelling.
Considering the Earth is 6 billion years old, lol...Human life meens zero in the massive timescape
Earth is a planet so ofc it's going to have a different life span. @@TheVIC-vo6yi
@atomsofstardust Agreed. I’m only 18 and I feel the exact same way. And I honestly have a lot of death anxiety that won’t go away. I’m seriously considering talking to a professional if it doesn’t get better because I’ve been suffering for weeks on end having existential crisis’.
People judge me for saying I want to be immortal, but I want immortality in a way where I do not age and I can die from injury, so it’s just age that can’t kill me. I would prefer to be in a robotic body that cannot cannot change or different parts may be swapped out
Alita 💗 same here
Same, u aren't alone :)) I can totally understand that. Like I would want to not worry about age and not lose my senses but still be able to die from injury (like you said)
Tolkien Elves in a sense. Yeah, I sorta understand that as eternal youth rather than immortality proper in the physical sense. Biological immortality and not immortality in all areas.
same
Beautiful thought but aging makes the death acceptable for both, you and people who loves you.
younger death is sad for everyone, that is why. dying from accident is even worst of death than slow death
It's such a Pandora's box scenario, and I think the notion that "We don't actually want to live forever, we just don't want to die" sums it up pretty succinctly, at least for me. There are things I want to see, things I want to do that would not be able to fit into a single human lifetime... but to think that I will actually take an active role in them is the stuff of daydreams. Even if I life forever, what is even the point? To live forever is to work forever, an obligation to continue supporting yourself, and possibly your family, through constant, unfulfilling labor that you likely don't want to do. Not many people genuinely wake up happy to go to work, at most people are often content - with no issue being there, but a definite longing to be doing something they truly love. To a billionaire, living forever doing what they do seems appealing... to a cashier - the answer is likely no.
I don't want my life cut short, to die next year at 27, or even sooner, and I certainly don't want to live to the point where others have to care for me for me to even exist... but I wouldn't mind a few extra decades of youthful condition, but only if free from obligation. A few extra years to do what I want, see what I want to see, without the need to worry. A few extra years to be Human.
Maybe then, I fear aging itself and the squandering of time, not death. I fear working until I'm 62 (if I'm lucky) only to have my last few decades of freedom be spent withering away, worrying about my legacy and how much time I've wasted to get here.
You actually described me. I also feel that living eternally will suck. With all the daily challenges we go through, even with few moments of joy, its still not worth it. I support the antinatalism concept
@@rodneydin I've never been one for antinatalism, but I definitely understand where it comes from and why people feel the way they do about it.
I feel eternal life would just get the point where it would stop meaning as much to be alive. I think the relative briefness of life in comparison to the march of time is what allows for meaning to be derived from it, whatever that meaning may be from person to person. All things must end. A book that goes on forever is a book I would never bother reading.
Thank you for your insight!
"To live forever is to work forever..."
Not exactly. Retirement can actually be potentially infinite if done correctly. Most retirement funds save up a certain amount so that annuities can fund a decent lifestyle for say 20 years of retirement before you die. But if you spend a little more time saving up and withdraw a little less money, the annuity can actually last forever and even combat inflation (effectively living off of a trust fund that you built).
So you wouldn't need to work forever, but you would need to work a little longer to get a more handsome retirement fund to make sure it funds a standard of living with which you can be content.
This idea really excites me because it means that a large portion of the population can essentially be living in a retirement life, remaining in a youthful body, and working only as much as they like.
Exactly, once we make it to 50 years old we know whats next...lol
@JM-us3fr Good idea. VERY good idea actually.
The key for me would be know how active and mobile i can be if i am just alive and struggling through life, I AM OUT.
If you have infinite time to wait, eventually new technologies would come out and fix whatever you need.
@@edward3190 Still depends i like the idea of being able to move on my own, it's more so the idea of living a happy life.
@@colinsteeley What?
@Thanatos I am more after the quality of life, if immortality will ensure I can have a great life like let's say it kills aging effects of life that would be nice.
@Thebreakdownshow1 Agreed. Eternal youth sounds nice. It is definitely way better than not existing at all at least in my opinion.
I'm an engineer. When it comes to aging, I personally do not care about ethics, past generation, future generation or anything I just know that I would love to live forever! Living forever is the biggest blessing
Preach! Amazing to me that some people don’t feel the same
@@atomsofstardust I personally can’t understand this thought. Yes life is amazing and I sure wouldn’t like an early grave but I would like to die regardless. Death is not something I fear but embrace because it is the constant reminder that I m running out of time we forces me to actually move “life is short” is the reason why I m motivated to reach my dream.
Very true.Somewhere in the bible it says God put ETERNITY into our hearts
@@TehGhostWhoPlay I'm not motivated by death to keep progressing in life personally and people who would enjoy immortality I would guess aren't as well
@@knguyen1 those who would enjoy immortality are just afraid of time itself. what motivation would they have if they knew that had all the time in the world to do as they please? Why would they work as hard as they would now to improve society when their standard of life is already better than it was before?
As someone once put it, "death doesn't give happiness meaning, happiness IS the meaning". The idea of death is sickening, there's nothing normal about it. Our curiosity is what motivates us, not the fear of death. Do children explore the world around them because they're afraid of death? No! They can't even comprehend death until they're about 8 years old
Every time I hear someone doesn't want to be immortal I have one question: "Do you not want to see the entire universe, to explore every secret it holds, to know everything about how it works and ultimately to create your own?" I'm convinced that intelligence is the universe's method of procreation and I want to be there when it happens, when we recreate the Big Bang. And then I'll just live until the entropy shreds me to atoms and merge with the eternal darkness
Compare that to living like 80 years tops and stopping your existence because some meat in your head has gone bad. That sucks, why would anyone want that
@Tyler Harris it's a stupid concern. No one has lived that long so we have no clue what effects it would have
"you say you wish for the end of human spite, you're mad i say, for to remove all spite is to remove existence itself"
One thing cannot exist without it's opposite, life cannot be sustained without death
@@reesespieces8173 dementia sets in at a 100% rate after 100, so imagine living for thousands of years with severe dementia and Alzheimer's, that's hell
@@PeachDragon_ So you're implying that dementia is somehow harder to cure than death? DEATH???
Is it wrong to not want to live some big bombastic life where we view everything possible within our universe? What's wrong with just wanting a simple, quiet life that does its time then fizzles out. Is there not beauty in that?
Meaning isn't derived from death, no one would argue a child's cancer diagnosis is a good thing because it adds urgency and value to their remaining time
We were told immortality is a bad pursuit because every culture has a stockholm syndrome relationship with the reaper
Any "boredom" concerns are irrelevant as long as suicide (merely a death chosen over a death enforced) in an option
The real worry is whether or not we can stop ourselves hopelessly and instinctively breeding endlessly
Breading is the big problem, when some people unknowingly mate with their great great great... grand child, or relatives, it would be a cluster fuck for human genetic disease and geno diversity.
Agree. Everyondy wants to belive death is good because we can't stop it. Well its the worst thing ever. Death, caused more deaths than any person, any ilness and every catylyzim combined.
Preach! So boring to hear people talk about “boredom” from immortality. If it’s boring for them, fk off, I wanna live forever, because I actually have things I wanna do or learn.
You are so right. I agree with everything you wrote!
@@atomsofstardust Same here! I'd literally learn everything and see everything that I could forever! What stops a lot of people now is the time limits we have. Only so much we can consume so we need to choose wisely :(
I think “Fear of the unknown” is what makes people not wanna die, since we don’t know for certain what will happen after death, so we don’t want to die. Add to that the fact the we don’t know when and how will we die
I think the most rational fear of death is the fear of leaving things unfinished. We have so many goals, hopes, and dreams, and to leave them all in the hands of people who may or may not value them the same way we do is concerning.
This might be what I would criticism those videos about "let's slay the beast that is death, why should we accept death, let's live forever!"
They are just afraid of the unknown. And power trip, but that's another detail-
Immortality is for most just a target, when they have everything and can live to their fullest. I would say, as an average wage slave, immortality would mean slavery forever. At least in my position even though for modern standards as wealthy man, I would consider immortality as something like hell.
That is an interesting take on the idea.
Depends on what kind of immortality you achieve...we know so litlle about this topic that there could be one kind of immortality when you dont need to eat drink or breathe ,but your comment makes sense if you still need to work like a "slave",thats what we call human weaknesses
@@xhulio4124 Even if we assume something like a Matrix-ish immorality, where all needs are satisfied and you do not need to work, what would happen to us? All aspiration would be taken from a human being, all craving to be better, knowledge or resources would end meaning less. I would say it in Arthur Schopenhauer's way, life is suffering unfortunately, if you take the suffering away, will alone remain and most likely it will be self-destructive. Which means the only joy left, the only will left, may be our own death.
@@sad_wrangler8515 yeah thats the dilema as everyone stops and think about those,but still i think how with immortality we can conquer the universe ,it is so big that with the right technology and progression eternity is going to be busy ,even traveling with the speed of light we need milions and milions of years to get out of our galaxy,which is a like a tenis ball in a continent...time is all we need
I personally find it frustrating when people think that if we were to become 'immortal' as a species, their financial and social status will be the same forever. They say things like, "oh no, I don't want to work for my low salary for centuries". That's just not how it works, if we were to discover a cure for ageing, literally everything in the society will change.
There have already been so many profound changes in your standard of living in the last two centuries that your ancestors from centuries ago would think you're a monarch if they were told about the devices and the luxuries and comforts you have today, and all of this comes from advances in science that would collectively be a fraction of the advancement that would come with a cure for ageing.
Just think about it. Business tycoons will know that they cannot keep screwing the planet up because it won't be their children who would have to deal with the consequences of an overheated earth, but they'd be the ones facing the music personally. Politicians will know that they must make their decisions more carefully because their legacy will be evaluated by a population that lives for centuries and thousands of years and so they will know that every single decision they make will have much more impact than ever before. The general public will fight for its rights with more vigour knowing very well that it'll suffer the consequences of misrule for centuries as opposed to decades like their ancestors. Children will be made to go to school for longer because going to school for 50 years if you live for a thousand is perfectly acceptable, and so the workforce will be exponentially more educated and capable.
No matter what people say i will always stick to my opinion. Death sucks. Immortality cannot make you bored. Reason-
Because the universe is too big in every way - size, age, complexity. Of course the normal standards that we have now will change but it always has throughout the history of the universe. What's good and normal can change but you just need people to like it. Maybe it comes with a little fear and rejection but eventually people again get used. Spending time with your loved ones or friends is the meaning of life? You can be happy without those. Of course by today's standards that is considered negative because it leads to wasting of life being alone. But i think you can open your mind to all possibilities. If you have infinite time you can search for infinite happiness until then you can have your "valuable" sadness, fear, anger and all other bullshit. Don't get me wrong. i think negative emotions make you grow maturity but i just hate that i have to "choose" a single path in life while pleasing others and then still have regrets while dying.
I 100% agree
I believe that immortality cannot make you bored simply because you'd forget doing certain stuff and forget experiencing certain things, so you could experience them like new and thus always have "new" entertainment.
Exactly. I completely agree. I tell people the same thing whenever I get the chance and they call me crazy. I hate and fear death so damn much.
@ten10_ten10 Exactly! I completely agree. As a matter of fact, I have forgotten certain things only to relearn them later on. So I definitely think it’s worth it.
ok, and i disagree 😁
i read your text wall and i think you’d be delighted to live in a zoo, with unbreakable cage and infinite supply of whatever food/entertainment you desire while i watch from the outside. awesome!
Might be the easiest choice ever yet. Go with "choose when you die" and chose not today everyday so I practically be immortal for as long as I please, and can let go when the burden of existance is too much.
Not a bad idea to be honest. And perhaps don’t make it fully permanent so that there could be like a simulated afterlife or something.
I definitely think we as a species should strive for immortality, because I don't see anything alluring about drifting into eternal nothingness.
You don’t know it’s eternal nothingness
death unites all. by the end of the day, we all have such short time on this planet. honestly, the saying "we'll all die someday, it's all pointless." is wrong. we'll all die someday. that's the point. it makes everything important. but honestly, you can stay away from these dark topics but don't forget they exist. live your life. don't stray in negativity. it's not bad to stay positive, it's bad to ignore the negatives. have a good day, don't forget to smile, comrades.
We don’t know what happens for sure after we die
I mean why not try? What else is there to do but try to achieve more of what we already have.
@@SEDRICKHENDRIXTHEGAMER No I don’t know that for certain. But if we think rationally about what death implies, then the logical conclusion appears to be that death must imply eternal nothingness as death is the end of consciousness. Furthermore this is underscored by the fact that our conceptualization of an everlasting soul doesn’t align very well with evolution.
I've never been sold on overpopulation as a problem of imortality. All simply due to the fact that immortality is the thing that allows greater, century-long plans to actualy happen. The truth is that humanity is fundamentaly limited in it's capicity to think ahead as a species by it's natural lifespan. And while Earths resources might only be able to sustain 10/11 billions people at a time, the solar system as a whole can sustain MUCH more, and we wont reach that capacity until we start getting off Earth and building dyson spheres.
The moment we build our first Dyson swarm we will have near infinite amount of energy that will enable use to fuse atoms into any material we need. Our minds can literally project our will over matter.
And additionally birth rates are dropping! Perfect for immortality to sweep in. What most also seem to forget is that you can just commit suicide when you want to, being biologically immortal doesn't prevent you from killing yourself when you feel like it.
How can the solar system sustain more people? Are there any phosphor- and freshwater-rich planets I haven't heard of, lying in wait for just an injection of carbon dioxide, heat, and artificial sunlight to grow food crops?
@@sanjaymatsuda4504 with current technology a permanent base could be established on Mars.
And with Dyson-sphere levels of energy, we dont even need planets anymore. We can just live in orbit, on artificial habitats.
Exponential growth is much much faster you think. Every 25years a couple give a birth, another 25 year both the couple and their child give births, another 25 years them and their grand child give births, and so on. At this rate within a million years, humans would spread like virus and fill the entire universe.
When everyone has a big family, it is likely unintentionally, a great great great grandpa could mate with his great great great ... Grand daughter and could eventually create more genetic disease and could destroy human geno diversity.

@@AmazingStoryDewd true... for me the chance of living too long is kind of terryfing
150 to 200 would be ideal for me.
For the people that want to live for an extended period of time should have the choice to do so, if you don’t want to live forever make that decision for yourself but don’t try to push that on the natural progression of health technology because in 10+ hundred years someone is gonna solve this problem because they got bored one day anyway, so why fight it? There’s people out there including myself that genuinely see this as a big problem to be solved, and the fact we get closer and closer every day despite the masses not really helping to support or help achieve this is should ease your fears. our lives are so short, so why not have extra time with the ones we love, the opportunity to have opportunities, new life even the rise of humanity or the fall, to experience being alive for just a while longer. Don’t be apathetic to the people that fear, support if you’re capable and empathize. Be kind to everyone, and let’s hope we actually see this in our lifetimes. outside of this, have a good day reader!
Exactly! Thank you for saying this. I completely agree.
The scariest thing to me is that the only two choices are being alive forever, or not.
Life is an illusion caused by death.
"Forever" is subjective. The Universe will almost certainly end. But living for hundreds of year is not "forever"
I would choose to live
Being alive too long becomes boring.
@@chasingexcellence9336 boring? Hell no.. Universe is very exciting.
I personally believe that death is the biggest motivation to live a happy life. If I knew I was going to live forever - there would be no spark towards life wanting to accomplish everything I desire. I wouldn’t take risks & step out of my comfort zone. Knowing I won’t be here forever just motivates me to make my journey the most beautiful thing. It helps me not to stress about anything either. If everything will cease to exist one day - there’s no point in being unhappy over things you can’t control.
I’ve let soooo much go in my life having this mindset & im definitely more at peace than ever before. ❤

I already tired of my life at the age of 29. I definitely don't want to have immortal life. Die at the age of 65-80 would be perfect, depends what kind of work I'd have
If you're tired of your life, then why do you want to die way later?
@@Basinrails like most people aren’t tired lol. Who wants to live immortal life?
I would like an age extension of sorts, like if I am near death but still want to live for 20 years and after that I'll decide if I want to live any longer. Or immortality with an option to die whenever I want.
I don't want my body to feel shit with time. I don't wanna accept it. I wanna be feeling the same everyday.
Yep. I'm deathly afraid (badum tss) of death and change. I'd rather continue life exactly as I know it forever, but also have it always be unique and interesting with advancing technologies and the like. Basically impossible even if we do find immortality, since we have the sun exploding, the heat death of the universe, and so much more to deal with, but I believe we could probably find a way around those problems if we do obtain eternal life.
If Longevity increases your lifespan, it will also increase your healthspan as well, meaning you will also feel younger.
Exactly! Thank you! Wow. Someone finally says it and has the exact same idea as me.

Hard to decide. On one hand you'll see everyone you love die but after that you can move on but can't love again to avoid the pain. On the other, you never know, the day you choose to die might be the day everything becomes good. Like how when you go to the restroom in the cinema the good part comes and you completely miss it.
I can't just say both cuz that's cliché and selfish.
I guess I'm gonna have to choose immortality. Think about it, if you're interested in knowing how thing go out, you'll be able to see it all. Also since you can't die you can pretty much be John Wick or a superhero. You can even allow scientists to take samples of your body to perhaps invent immortality for absolute legends who need to be protected at all cost.
Eventually all humans that aren't immortal will die though. The sun will become a red giant and earth will become uninhabitable. I would just get bored living on a burning planet or in space forever, even with other humans.
Floating forever after the heat death of the universe would be worse than death don't you think
C'mon guys, don't you have hope? Hope that eventually humanity will build a rocket power enough to bring us to the closest the super earth planet.
@@Dalauan_Sparrow we are not certain that the universe heat death would happen. If it would, you would not be floating in space.
Exactly. I value my life too much and I will probably always be too scared to accept it and let myself die. I don’t want to do that. Ever.
My grandfather died at the right time, he was in his late 80s, had lived a good life, was still quite healthy with no major health issues and simply died in his sleep, still lying on his side, eyes closed, in his own bed. It is possible to die at the right time.
You can either die a mortal human or you can become a practically all powerful cosmic terror. Both have pros and cons.
I'd rather be option 2
@goalhorn2012 Same here ☺️
I will always remember your video many years after your death during conversations.
I haven’t seen anyone in the comments talking about this point of view. Imagine you’re 200 years old. Imagine all of the trauma and problems being that age comes with that. The wars that have taken place,(unless there aren’t any wars fought once we’ve reached immortality, which I doubt), the divorces as discussed in the video, the usual bourdon of being a human being? I for one wouldn’t want to be living till the end of time. Ofcourse it would be interesting to see what human being could evolve to, but for my personally, quality over quantity of life.
Would love to hear other takes on my point of view on this topic.
honestly, in my opinion it really all depends on you. it's your life your writing, not anyone elses. your chapters can go infinitely, with no end. a story for all to read. I'd love to explore the unkown, find new planets, settle in new homes. then again.. death unites all. we all have such little time on this planet, everything counts. everything dies. plants, animals, cells, dust, stars, humans. rocks will cease to exist , water will cease to exist, even the smallest of inanimate objects will. if we are to live on forever, what are we, really? are even human?
yes, i heavily agree with you. mental problems, loved ones, etc etc. there is an end of time, so in a way we are not immortal. we simply end aswell when time ends and restarts, right? even the immortals will die and cease to exist. in all ways, you, i, and everyone else will die. no matter what. in most stories, you can see when (character) achieves immortality, it's all good at first. but after thousands of years, they simply stop being human (?) losing emotions, empathy, no regard for life, being blood thirsty in some adaptations. they all wish for one thing as well; to die. to end.
I imagine it's because the majority commenting are below a certain age!! Above a certain age, death might come more as a relief! Not that we are hoping for it of course, but the idealisation of youth eventually turns into the realisation of age, and ultimately that turns into acceptance of the end.
I agree man. Maybe it could work if I can be 200 years old in a 25 year olds body, still healthy and full of energy but seeing how my dog ages and just generally how things die, I think it is creepy not to accept death as a part of life. We have to let life go and embrace change so new things can be born. Its like leaving your dead dogs corpse in your room hoping it would still bark and wag its tale some day. Its weird
actually the opposite and yoi develop an emotional resilience and eventually apathy
I am honestly willing to sacrofice everything abaut myslef to live forever. I lose all my personality and fellings, and i am just an ai box that only hears abaut stuff from other people? Well i think its wort it
The fear of death has similarities with the fear of immortality
I have both -_-
I am scared of everything being the same thing over and over
But I am also scared of losing everything that's important to me, my family, my memories, and my personality and things like that
But what if death is just the end of your Era and now the afterlife is just you, your loved ones and memories? Well an eternity with my memories on repeat might not the best thing either :[
@@oreosaregood8633 Same. I can't really tell what'd be better, but me personally I am not religious so I'd rather humans discover immortality/eternal youth so we can at least have the chance to live forever. Also, since time is relative and also perspective based, I doubt living forever would be as agonizing as people claim.
People bring up shit like the heat death of the universe but I believe that science trillions of trillions of years into the future could *probably* do something about that.
@ten10_ten10 Agreed. Wow. You’re pretty smart. Great ideas.
I rarely comment on videos, but this was such a well-made video that I could connect to it on an emotional level, especially when they talked about how our mortality gives us a sense of identity and purpose.
No, quite simply no. - In an eternal life, everything would be irrelevant. Nothing would matter. - Children? You can have them whenever you want. Grow up? What the heck, you have forever. Having a job, pff, what's the point? You can tackle that in several hundred years. - Eternal life would mean to realize nihilism! Dying is the only certainty in our lives.
Death is a thief. It has taken my father from me, my grandmother, and my friends. I want this thief defeated. We can work out the details of what happens after that later.
You cant liver forever. Even the Universe dies. All good things must come to an end. You did not lose your father or grandma. They just completed there cycle of life.
Agreed. I will only accept death until we figure out what is after it. Until then I will never accept it and treat it as a bad guy that needs to be defeated which I believe it is. We’ve got this. Hopefully we can also invent resurrection so that our loved ones can return. We can’t let this bad guy keep on winning. It’s taken too much. We need to end it.
sorry you have to go through that, but please remember not everyone on this planet think about death like you do. just try to remember everyone experience things differently so don’t convince others to ‘defeat this thief’
"Death isn't the end. Death is just the beggining of the infinity. The life isn't actually now, is AFTER."
Those people with this thought really annoy me. This is the worst devaluation of life that i ever seen, It's bizarre that billion of people believe in that. Whatever you think that you gonna do in your eternal life after death, do you think that one day you're not get tired of doing that? Staying with the same people around you for thousands, billions years, in a perfect world where, everything is perfect. Whatever you know how to do, your qualities is meaningless because everything is perfect, in other words, done. If you are a good counselor, for example, that quality is meaningless, in a world where the people has no problems or emotional issue. If you are a very honest people, what does It means in a world where there is no lies? You are just one more. Being smart (the quality to solve problems with reasoning) is useless too, in a world where there is nothing to solve. Being gentle in this world for what? Nothing is missing for anyone, nobody has problems or need your help with something. All the people in this world will seem the same. The perfection is a problem too. The perfection is like an state of "done", no need to put something more on or take off. No more objectives with that thing, It is done.
Our objectives on our lifes makes our lifes more interesting. Play a game with no objective for example is boring. Which is the objetive of a eternal life on a perfect world? You haven't anything to achieve anymore, any dream, nothing.
The eternal life has no purpose.
Yes, i'm talking about heaven. Don't joke about me because of that, but for years i think like that.
i think the same too! though, i have to keep it secret because what we think here, in my country, is a blasphemy that could be punishable by law (up to years of prison)
If I was offered immortality, I would only accept it if the universe would never end as well.
True. Never having to truly worry about death would be awesome. Even if we create immortality we still have to worry about the universe ending eventually in a few trillion years. I'd rather continue forever and not have to worry about anything, but right now I'm afraid we won't even get the opportunity to be immortal and to deal with that stuff.
Heat death of the universe is not guarenteed.
I kinda experienced death after getting super high and passing out. My thoughts just stopped as I lay on my bed, then, with a high-pitched click, my consciousness reignited. I was in a space of perpetual darkness, completing lucid but not really "human". Just a nexus of my ego. I couldn't really remember who I or what I was, my first thought after regaining consciousness being: "Am I dead?" Followed by, "It's not that bad...."
After those thoughts, I suddenly noticed a tilted square "box" tessellated with spinning colours. The next moment, I was in the box. The experience was as surreal as it was fun. Once I was inside the box, it suddenly became more complex. The flat, colourful thing was now filled with bright rectangles. And when I pulled on these rectangles, I could feel different emotions: nostalgia, bliss- are a few a recall. Then, as I dove out of this iridescent field of colors and shapes, I vaguely felt myself waking up, twisting and turning in bad.
I started to remember all who and what I was. My name, my family, my race. That was the most disappointing moment of the trip. I remember thinking, "Argh, a human? That's all I amount to?"- or something a long those lines, anyway.
Thinking on it now, I wonder where was my mind before I regained my consciousness? What awesome experiences am I forgetting? But I digress, the mind's a powerful thing... I feel like we humans have yet to unlock it's full potential.
sounds like one crazy shroom trip to me
@@cyanide_7033 it was a really coo' experience, so yeah.
That’s an amazing experience!! did you feel as if when you were in the void / that blackness - that you completely forgot your physical self in this earthly experience? Like you didn’t know who you’re human self was? and all the memories you had of being on earth?
"There are fates far worse than death" Yeah, no kidding, I just had to face the consequences of Taco Tuesdays 0_0
Lmao
I'd rather die today than live forever.
I don't feel much for witnesing the last black hole evaporate and the last atom fall apart while I am there. Mortality means you'll lose everything eventually, which makes it essentially meaningless, but living forever strips everything of its meaning in its own way.
I’m not scared of death, I’m scared of what’s after death, and also I will miss living and my life, I will also miss my dog and gold fish, I will never see them again, this makes me sad
Same here though I think I am scared of death too. Everything else is similar to you.
Not many people realize the number of possibilities you can achieve with immortality. I want to see the end of the universe, and by that time, I would've been able to figure out how to create another universe. You're a god at that rate. Who wouldn't want to be a god of the universe they created?
once you're in that situation you would regret everything
@AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH one way of thinking is optimistic and ambitious, the other is for pessimistic losers.
@@Lvzeeey Only if you choose to regret it.
dude you cant survive end of the universe
if the universe is what ur made of
if those quantum fields and spacetime start to break down
and you are made of them
you will be gone
lol
You can't just blink and expect stars to appear or something though. You would actually need to make things happen. Even if you did, you would eventually experience everything you possibly could. You could also be trapped in a place forever with no possible way out, like on a high gravity planet or floating though interstellar space or in a black hole. Also you can't regret death because you won't be conscious but you can regret living forever with no way to die.
Immortality is little more than a selfish desire for those who have reached the point of disillusionment and try to usurp nature. Earth isn't some dead rock with living things traipsing about its surface; the planet itself is alive and changes every day. That is what makes life so unique.
this. THIS!
of all comments here, this is the one i try to say! yesss those people are selfish and suspiciously narcissistic that they really, really clutch at the idea of being immortal. some real fresh air right here 🫡
I don’t think I’ll ever wrap my head around that one day I will have to die, and importantly is impossible! Hopefully I will come to terms with it once I grow older!
Anyone else like me? Just scared shittless about death?
Yes it's crazy to accept we will not exist at some point. I want to live for a long time and see so many things learn and meet people
@@MRLFMAO I always think about it and when I was little, I would cry to my mom scared of dying. Idk it just seems so short for what we are capable of.
I'm half scared of death, half not. Just the thought of it is horrific, but at the same time, I love the unknown.
@@jordantran1434 I'm the same I think about it nearly everyday at this point it haunts me especially before sleep it mad to know and accept the truth that one day we won't exist anymore
Spending your life dwelling on the fact that ur gonna die one day is a waste of time since u cant control it. Focus on what u can do now, that's all any of us can do.
"Let us die young or let us love forever" that's from the song forever young by alphaville. It continues like "we don't have the power but we never say never"
skip's story... great episode
Personally, one of the reasons I don't want to live forever is that I'm just curious what happens on the other side
I’m completely fine without knowing
I’m scared there’s nothing on the others side ☹️
@betyouwontsub5866 Same here. If I have to risk not existing forever then he’ll no.
@katherinerex9067 Same here Katherine. I never want to know what it is and even if I do, I don’t want to die. Ever.
would hate to live on this world forever
I'm sure if that if we were immortal, we could travel across the universe
i could listen to this guy talking about life stuff for hours
I’m not afraid of dying I’m afraid of suffering and being a burden to people. I am afraid of being kept alive even though I’m not really living anymore. I believe in assisted suicide
The frequency of uploads is amazing. Good stuff 👍
I honestly just wanna watch the milky way and andromeda merge
I Anticipate your video everytime
Most of us become grumpy, jaded and desillusioned after few decades, we would get intolerable if to live 'forever'. In addition, mostly the very wealthy people (they tend to be ruthless since they succeeded in a very competitive world) could afford to receive the 'treatment' making a society characterised by the worst of human nature, not a pretty picture.
Better try to become the rich before it happens, it would be a hell for others IMO
Immortality existed for millions of years and most of us committed suicide because living forever is depressing.
I’m waiting for someone to wake up from a Coma then I can finally Rest In Peace.
I can't ever recall dying so I'm assuming it's just something that happens to other people.
My biggest concern with immortality would be memory. We have no idea it's limits, if there are any. We have no idea what living for 1000 years would do to a psyche. We have no idea what that would do to culture either. Look at what's happening right now. We're stuck in a glut of remakes and rehashes, and we may have exhausted the limit of creativity a culture can produce. We went from everything being new and innovative to reboots in a shockingly short period of time. Getting back to memory I think that may be part of the problem. We've got instant access to so many different elements of our collective culture that our memory of what came before is much longer than it was previously. Only so many ways to frame a story, only so many instruments, only so many notes, only so many neurons, and fewer of those make sense to form into patterns we enjoy.
Does our brain have enough capacity to fill the memory of infinite time? I think reboot and rehash would be okay when we forget the original.
Even music and poem are made of combination of their basic elements, eventually when all the finite combinations are created, they have to repeat or rehash themselves.
Rebots are because its easy to get money not because we rub out kf ceeativity
Imagine being immortal and forced to watch everything else die? Like no matter what you can never die. Even worse getting more and more decrepit but not every dying, just falling apart so bad that you end up trapped in a body that does not work properly alone with only your thoughts forever ☹
Neither of those are how it would work scientifically though
Either you stay relatively young or you are aging, you can't wither and also not be aging, they're the same thing
I wouldn't worry about trapped in a bad body. I have infinitely long time to spend, eventually, maybe a thousand year or a million years, I or someone or something will fix it.
Why do I feel like life has to worthy of living? If I have to constantly going to a dead end job, death would be a sweet release. Immortal is only desirable when you are rich!
Exactly!!!!! Being stucked in the same place, doing the same boring job and always see your boss's face forever .. it's a f*cking hell.... The ppl who thinks immorality is a good thing they think living forever would end the poverty and Health problems lool.... They forgot that if they're immortal their environment and problems are immortal... The rich a$$holes, the corrupted politicians, serial killers and psychopaths are gonna be still there too and worst ... They won't die and their families too :/ .... Without death change won't happen
We need to immortalize our environment before we can except living forever..
Then we can stay busy and have more fun
If we became immortal and combined with a super advanced AI and programmed into it Isaac Asimov's first rule "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." then even if it had an off switch when we designed the technology to integrate with, the AI would never let us pass on. It would likely force us to live till the end of the universe and further. The AI having an off switch would be hurting us through inaction so it would have to get rid of it.
big brain time
Maybe that’s already happened and we’re living in a simulation that such AI has created to preserve us.
@@atomsofstardust Perhaps we're already at the end of the universe revolving around the final black holes.
Your Voice works as a Free Therapy for me ♥️
I would sacrifice any thing for immortality.
The thought of living forever can be beautiful at least like you said through rode colored lenses. But honestly looking at world and what not I wouldn't want to deal with this forever. I wouldn't want to live a life of hard labor forever, I am happy to be blessed with my tike I was given on this beautiful planet but all things must come to an end. And that's whay makes existing beautiful. The journey and experiences. The ups and downs, the begging, middle, and end
I once read about how Healthcare and science will be so advance in a future that we will be able to stop aging and immune to all diseases, but the autor referred to it as "being amortal" (don't know if I'm writing it correctly, the books were in spanish).
His reasons to talk about immortality in that way was that despite being immune to aging and diseases, you would certainly die in a car accident.
The books: Sapiens, Homo Deus
From Yuval Noah Harari
(Don't know if they're avaliable in english)
They are, my friend. Good books too x
That seems like a very likely scenario even in this century, maybe even in our lifetime, if only billions of dollars will be applied to scientific research, instead of wars or luxury crap.
Just think about the compound interest on your index funds!!
I want to be imortal thats why im studying molecular biology and genetics
Go you! Make that shiiiit happen!
@@Basinrails hell yeah
Man chases immortality, given the current state of human depravity, he will live long enough to realise that he’d rather take his own life than continue living in torture.
Depends on the intensity of this "torture"
Kinda sad he didn't mention David Sinclair and his age reversing on mice
Do you by any chance know more people who does similar research right now? It makes me sad that I’ve heard only about a handful of people who are involved in the most important research of our lifetime.
@@atomsofstardust
there's altos labs, calico
One of the pioneers of anti-aging is Aubrey De Grey
Finding on R&D of aging can be found on r/longevity
Be careful listening to david sinclair. His stuff seems shaky and falsifiable.
Dying doesn’t suck it’s mercy
I consider immortality to be a fate worse than death. I would be extremely bored since there is a limited amount of things I can do but I will remain conscious forever.
With infinate time and infinate people you would never get bored. Plus by the time you experience everything everything else has already changed.
The experience of boredom is generated by the brain so it stands to reason that the brain can also take away the experience of being bored.
You'd probably forget most things you do for entertainment, so you'd get "infinite" entertainment because you simply would not remember doing said things.
also biology will agree. our bodies aren’t meant to be living forever (remember about cancer cell formation). also immortality does not guarantee one’d stop aging; what happens if a body keep aging until, idk, a thousand years old? even looking at most people living to their 110s, it’s reasonable
We should seek longevity. Even if immortality isn't guarenteed, people suffer too much due to age. Even if it's an extra 20 years, it would benefit so much.
Of course I would like to live as long as possible, but just like the unknown of death, the unknown of life could be just as scary.
Good video as always. Keep going Aperture, we care.
I don't want to die, I want us humans to have an option whether we want to die or be quantum immortal. I don't believe we will ever be reborn again with our existing consciousness. Once we are gone that's it. You are no longer living in this world. I don't believe in religion. I believe we might be reborn somewhere else but we won't have memory that we existed. We might be reborn on this or another planet. But I still find it depressing how our family, friends and loved ones die and we slowly start to realize nothing lasts forever. It's hard for me to accept I am 29 now. In 50 years I will be 79 and more than likely dead. I sometimes think to myself damn by 2070 I won't exist in this world anymore. It makes me scared that every moment of my life is so important. I wish doctors will find a cure because I will be the first person to accept the biological treatments to reverse aging .
Well if David Sinclair isn't some fraud, we should have something to stop or slow or even reverse aging by like 2040, maybe earlier.
Personally I'm hoping he is the real deal, because I want to live life forever. That might make me greedy, but I want to plant trees in whose shade I will sit under and experience the joys of life forever.
@@ten10_ten10 That's a good point I been watching some people like Dave Sinclair, Aubrey that's just to name a few. Give it another 10 years and you will see how advanced technology will be and how many younger people will be influenced to invest in such laboratories or we can say medicine science and AI merging is what will give us the key to living forever. I don't think it's greedy or selfish to say this when no matter what age you are you still learn and make mistakes everyday so to me it brings hope that humans will first find a cure how to extend life before reaching the success of extending life faster than it drains which is the case with our cells dying and not being able to replicate and function properly as the years go on.
Always excited for a new video from Aperture love this channel it’s very interesting how they explain topics blessings to all 💯🙏🏽📿‼️
Damn I just wanna live to see gta 6
lmao same dude
Legends speaks the truth
I feel like immortality should be a choice. People should be able to choose whether they want to live or die.
Life is a test read this article.. What is the Purpose of Life Islam Guide
Brilliant content here I am quite the fan. That being said I do not romanticize mortality, neither do I view life’s inevitable end as the chief motivator for purpose or meaning in our existence. The notion that you can have too much life is like saying you can have too much money or resources. Sure some people “go off the rails” when the acquire a lot of money, but many other people are vastly more more productive and contribute exponentially to everyone around them when they have good fortune as well. Why could this not also be true with a vast “wealth” of time/ lifespan?
Because people are imperfect. There is a plethora of sayings about how power corrupts, and I don't particularly agree with all of them, but in this case it makes sense. Eternal life is almost infinite power, and I know that most likely, if one billion dollars was given to a random person they would probably invest some, spend some, or whatever, but in another large amount of cases, they would waste it, or end up using it for something useless. This is magnified when it comes to something that holds as much power as life. Not to mention the fact that a few bad apples can spoil the whole lot. What you're saying is like saying because we all know that being a good person is good, that we (or most people) would all be good people. Just because a good outcome from eternal life is possible doesn't make it probable or even likely to happen at all. We don't know the outcomes of eternal life just as we don't know the outcomes of death. We can try to predict it, and plan for the outcomes of a discovered cure to senescence, but we haven't tried, so there's not even a sliver of an argument to be had there.
@@GalaxyAeterna thank you for the response, I agree with your points fundamentally. I just wanted to clarify that made no inference that people given “infinite” life/money/resources would likely behave in a positive manner, just that it is possible that they could do so. I remain cautiously neutral on what the ramifications of significant life extension/immortality, would bring, the point I hoped to convey was that I do not find that our mortality is essential to make life meaningful.
@@williamonate3172 thank you for clarifying 👍
*in 1973 I was pronounced "DEAD On ARRIVAL" at a medical center... More than half an hour passed, then my heart started again... During that time, I "LIFE The Real Self", entered the WHITE LIGHT, and have remained in the WHITE LIGHT to this day... Those who claim to have returned, have NOT recognize WHAT, The WHITE LIGHT really is... When you recognize WHAT the LIGHT actually is, and accept it, you remain in The LIGHT...*
When you died and went to the light… did you still have any memory of your physical self in this earthly realm?
The *lack* of an eternal ambition or an "unobtainable goal" is the reason immortality is and should not be sought after, say you as an immortal, state "i will rule the world" and when you do, you ask "what next?"
Eventually you will run out of reasons to say "whats next?" Be it 50 to a thousand years. Hence the reason why immortality is more Eventually considered as a curse rather than a blessing and should only be given to the ones who are in pursuit on something unobtainable at least that way, they'll at least have a reason to live.
You do not need to pursue an unobtainable goal when (if) you can edit your own memories.
Theoretically for instance you could keep re-watching the same movie over and over again without getting bored of it (since you can keep deleting the memory of it). A lot of people seem to keep complaining that they will get "bored" of being immortal and that they will loose meaning in life etc And of course I have to keep reminding them that it's their own brain that generates their boredom and apparent loss of meaning. The brain isn't something mysterious but rather it's made out of neurons and atoms so altering it, adding chips to it etc is not in the realm of science fiction.
@@Firestorm12345678910sounds like offing your own past ‘self’ and reset (which is basically, tada, death). also, you doing this with biological body? because if so, cancer cells would like to introduce themselves
@@wiandryadiwasistio2062 One theoretical way to achieve biological immortality would be to keep resetting the growing process back to sexual immaturity once it's reached it's final stage of sexual maturity (sexual maturity would be different for different people for some into their late 40's while others late 30's etc). Resetting it back to somewhere along one's early 20's.
We need to to figure out how to save memory engrams some way to extract the "memories" from neurons. However even if say lots of memories need to be sacrificed for the reset to occur then I guess that would still be better then growing old and just dying. It comes down to memories dealing with identity if those core memories too need to be recycled (during the reset) then I may have to think twice about altering my reproductive cycle.
So going from biological "looping" immortality to ship of Theseus artificial neuron merger.
Immortality is not the goal for myself, just more healthy time to learn, grow, and experience this reality. Perhaps 200 healthy years would provide enough my time to accomplish all my dreams and provide the lessons & insights sought to transcend.
Yes! Death is bad!
I love this channel so much!
If it is anything like assassin's creed where each time one dies their essence (human consciousness) is transferred into the grey (which is another form of immortality) then yes I would swallow that immortality pill
Only when you have ever considered and thought about death in depth, will you truly begin living.
If we could figure out a way to bring the average age to 150 I don't think people would have a problem with dying
I think you are right. Purpose of life is enjoying hard work, enjoying the simple pleasure of a job well done. Eternal life removes that...
Honestly, immortality would suck. You’d live long enough to see the end of the world, and spend the rest of eternity alone. I’d rather die.
Dying is like kind of cool it gives a reason to live
