You've never heard of a worker-owned corporation? Costco doesn't ring a bell?

Always has been, and some modern religions teach how foolish this is.

Citing tm.org, which is dedicated to transcendental meditation:

Jesus was once asked when the kingdom of God would come. The kingdom of God, Jesus replied, is not something people will be able to see and point to. Then came these striking words: “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)

lol, good luck all of us!

For sure - OP is stirring the pot, and though I agree with them generally, they could take a few minutes and make some more substantive arguments, imo. I added my own flavor by interpreting their comment in the most sensible way I could think of.

Also, I actually thought you were a different poster and would have taken a different tone if I had a do-over. Such is life. Maybe I'll get a do-over if the AGI allows!

Do you think that the Baby Boomers were right to consume an incredible quantity of resources while emitting billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere, putting earth on the path to catastrophic climate change? Was it their right to do so? Does it matter that Americans burning fossil fuels today are harming poor farmers in Africa, both now and in the future, due to global warming and its consequence? Is this also highly subjective?

If any of this connects for you, then you accept part of OP's argument about (hypothetical) people today choosing to live forever at the expense of others, who for one reason or the other, cannot.

I don't think transhumanism can make life more meaningful for someone whose life was not meaningful before. They're not related concepts except as transhumanism pertains to extending one's lifespan, which could give someone already living a meaningful life more time to accomplish the things that make their life feel worthwhile.

Transhumanism as a means of extending the lifespan of someone who lives only for themself seems like a trivial idea. If it cost nothing, then why not, but if it's at the expense of others, then it seems foolish to me.

Yes, every few months we have an article about how senescence isn't natural or unavoidable, but having said that, OP makes good points; money and things and time spent watching TV/playing video games don't add up to a meaningful life for most people, regardless of how long they live (or the realm, physical or digital, in which they exist).
