RE: Transhumanism, maintenance and the end of death

in #philosophy8 years ago

First time i'm hearing this expression. I don't think long human life is good for the Planet. I only hope Planet's gonna survive the next 100 years due to human negligence. I agree 70-80 years is not long enough, I can't even imagine how life span was 20-40 back in time, no idea... practically you are still a baby at 20 (well nowadays)... What!? they had 64-hour day or something.. back then? lol
On the serious side, most people are afraid of dying, after all they are afraid of 1. pain and 2. the unknown...
Imagine - you close your eyes and you don't exist anymore! What a fun idea!!
I guess people who are in love with life won't wanna part with it. I'm curious how many of you have spoken to an old, old person and see his point of view on the matter. Everyone is different but in general depressed people can't wait for the end of the journey and happy, eager people want more and more of it.

Sort:  

Actually talking with an old person on their perspective on life so close to the end sounds like a very good thing to do. Also old people don't have as many friends and it's good for them to interact socially so it's good for everybody!
