I don't think it will be a digital vs real world scenario. There will be two options. Obviously, people are going to like virtual reality better.

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

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.

Are you in pain every day? Can you barely walk? Do you suffer from dementia?
If you replied no to those questions, you have no right to be calling anyone a coward. We can prevent suffering by defeating old age but you're just another person who wants to prevent progress. Someone who wants suffering to be embraced. What will you do when it's you in that position? Can't take care of yourself. Can't go to the bathroom on your own. You're going to accept? You are going to embrace that pain and suffering? You are going to "be a man???"
I seriously doubt that. Lie to yourself all you want, though.
You're the fucking nutcase here, pal.

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.

Unless we get turned into paperclips by a misaligned superintelligence. Then none of us will be benefitting from improvements in lifespan/healthspan.

We should be optimistic that an AGI/ASI can fix all of our problems.
On the other hand...
We shouldn't rely on it, and we should be doing the best we can to save the planet until autopilot becomes available, yeah?
Sometimes truth hurts, and the truth is that blind optimism helps no one.

Why are you so convinced that the heat death of the universe is 100% undefeatable and certain to happen?

If nobody believes we'll beat entropy then we won't. You have to be optimistic otherwise you'd never start trying. Don't you think it's worth giving a shot?
