Reply to comment by TheHamsterSandwich in Becoming increasingly pessimistic about LEV + curing aging by Phoenix5869

You will get old. You may get cancer. Death is part of the human experience. Just like the boomers you all rally against, extending life span to immortality is to steal the miracle of experience from future generations.

Ah yes, death fetishism. Let's not cure old age, for it is only natural and part of the human experience...

Anyone who accepts aging is ageist, old people are people too. If it's at all feasible to save them, I don't see why it's not worth giving it a try.

If you're against longevity research, go fuck yourself. Seriously.

You dont cure suffering, you just give it to someone else. If you can not critical think to the extent to understand that the world has a population cap and every old person who lives longer takes resources from someone else, go fuck yourself. Seriously. I do not support a distopian future of forced sterilization or rationing so some greedy pathetic billionare can live for 10000 years.

Nobody is going to keep it for the rich only. That's a fiction that you fucktards make up so you can rationalize not trying in the first place.

The rich will control the resources of development, as they do currently. Why will the technology then be shared with all of society when they will all see the consequences very clearly. Again you fail to answer. How do you prevent runaway population growth? How do you prevent food shortages? Ohh the AGI will solve all that for you too? You live in a fa tasy land. But go ahead let your anger convince you that its a problem free future where we all live to a million and play paddy cake in a field of roses. Get a grip.

Go ahead and let your anger convince you that the rich control everything and the only future for humanity is destined to be dystopian.
