gm, if you are alive in the next 30 years, chances are you're going to live forever it is stupid to risk this immortality by doing things that can kill you beforehand

Have thought about this kinda stuff for years. What level of immortality do you think we need to really “live forever”? I think we’re close to biological immortality aka reverse aging, but we’re still prone to diseases & environment, and our brains are still primed for shorter lifespans. How do we progress?

either biological or artificial technically, we can avoid a lot of issues by having artificial organs too!

I’d say biological is prob the right path in the short-term (the next several generations). Even if we somehow had the tech, I’m sure most people prob couldn’t handle being placed in a synthetic body. Even though we’ll face major humanity issues like resource scarcity, I’m very bullish on longevity.

also, resource scarcity is almost non-existent, even at 8b people we have resource abundance we also have a whole galaxy of resources to exploit

Today yes, but if we reverse aging without unlocking true immortality (no need for food, water, etc), we create a system where there’s a lot more births than deaths, which will inevitably create more scarcity. It’ll mean a stronger urgency to explore the galaxy and be more resourceful on a faster timeframe.

not necessarily mind the overpopulation fears that have never became reality (and probably won't ever do so) read the analysis on why overpopulation turned out to be a sham

Agreed, I’ve read up on it. Wonder if biological immortality will tip the scales. Humans are usually pretty good at adapting to situations though, and I’m pretty optimistic if it becomes a problem we’ll be able solve it. We’re already on that path regardless with clean energy, advances in farming, etc.
