@nugger @monkyyy @BowsacNoodle @professionalbigot69 It's a good thing people have such a healthy skepticism towards a 24/7 on-call staff of highly-paid medical professionals obsessing over your test results, otherwise we wouldn't know that it's far less risky to live a life of smoking cigarettes (the cancer stuff is pharma lies btw) and eating "red meat" (whatever slop is on sale at Costco or can be brought to the door by an ethnic).
@WandererUber @nugger @monkyyy @professionalbigot69 You know people can be somewhere in between full support for this vs huffing asbestos while swimming in mutagenic chemicals to own the libs. I personally think it’s neat, but I understand the skepticism. If we see that he dies at 82 like a normal dude or develops turbo cancer, it just drives home the need for people to focus on the eternal and transcendental instead of trying to acheive lichdom with today’s tech.

@WandererUber @BowsacNoodle @monkyyy @nugger @professionalbigot69 my main problem with these rich "i want to live forever" people is that their endeavors are not based on interest in actual betterment of health services, it's egotistical and only interested in making themselves live forever, and they put the value of their life purely on how long they lived and how much influence they exerted.

a life well lived is not exactly a long one, it's about the connections and people you made along the way.

they need some memento mori in their life, and perhaps this is also fear that they will be forgotten, instead of making a legacy by having and raising descendants that will carry their life's work and purpose, they want to carry it all by themselves.
@WandererUber oh i haven't heard of that fallacy before, but encountered it, i interpreted my previous post to be the bailey, and you were trying to get me to spit out a motte in response.

anyhow i don't think we will ever agree on this, we have different frameworks of viewing things (you like solar panels), so we can agree to disagree.
