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?

everyone seems much more accepting of death than i am. i accept it but not pleased that i have to. mainly because i have no choice on the timeframe. there's too many things i want to learn, explore, experience, feel that cannot fit within 100 years-ish. when all is experienced, i would welcome death with excitement
