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?

So I can do everything I wanna do. Current avg lifespan is too short and you're forced to sacrifice too many things and pick one or two things to do/learn

Such a shame
