hypothesis: the current obsession with longevity is a byproduct of tech culture's fear of death.

i used to ask founders + early employees, "have you thought about dying?" i would get a visceral reaction each time. and yet, as steve jobs said, "death is the destination we all share."

so why do you want to live longer?

10 years ago the joke was that everyone who made a billion dollars selling their startup poured money into longevity research because they wanted to extend the new life. I think the current trend is trickle down idol worship.
