genetic engineering? ai singularity perhaps? How do you intend to live forever?

Fuck forever, just let my upcoming prostate biopsy be negative. I’m retiring and I have shit to do that doesn’t involve sitting in front of the TV wearing a diaper.
good luck, friend. this internet stranger will be keeping you in mind. nobody deserves some of the shit life dishes out, i sincerely hope this goes well for you.
No plans. I die like a real man.
I’m gonna die and like it.
Who wants. To live. Forever?
Who dares. To love. Forever?
Yes, that’s my plan too, to behead another highlander.
But what if the eternal prize is just a scratchcard or a McDonalds coupon?There’s no chance for us
Forever? Perhaps not, until I clean up my gaming/reading/watching backlog? Perhaps.
That might as mean forever as well though.
I have “kidnapped” a small child and am brainwashing them to think like me.
they will be me, essentially.
one day they will do the same, and “I” will live on for eternity.
I don’t even think I wanna wake up tomorrow.
I won’t
I’ll try to eat healthy and exercise, but besides that I’m not planning on doing anything.
Why would anyone want this?
I don’t intend to live forever, that sounds rough as hell.
Depends on what kind of forever. If it’s truly forever and there’s nothing you can do about it, that sounds like hell (imagine being the only thing floating in the universe after the heat death!) but if you can decide after 200, 500, 1000 years you’ve had enough, it really sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
Just fly a rocket into a stable orbit near a black hole and wait until the time dilation causes 1000s of years to pass on earth, then go back and hope someone has figured it out.
my background in biochemistry makes me think it’s almost guaranteed to be impossible, so i don’t worry about it.
however, in hypothetical case it isn’t, i’d argue that it would be proper to destroy this technology in all cases along with inventors, because it would be horridly expensive initially, and first people to get it would be people like peter thiel and larry ellison. there was a recording where putin and xi admitted that they are also interested. then what you’ll get would be class of immortal oligarchs. planck once said, progress in physics happens one funeral at a time, it’s really more general than just physics, and you can say goodbye to any progress from that point on
Part of rejuvenation is rejuvenating brain to keep its youthful plasticity.
thiel isn’t funding unlicensed drug trials for longevity/immortality just so that he’ll become more progressive in the process
with 200, 300 year old oligarchs values they grew up with are gonna stay influential much longer
For the record, i just intend to outlive my enemies
If eternity is all time, and all the time I have is 80 or so years (hopefully), then that is eternity, for me. I’ll already live “forever”.
You only die when the last person forgets your name. So I’m going to be remembered forever, all books in history should have a dedicated page about me.
Oh no.
Enjoy!
Thanks to denial, I’m immortal!
Mortality is a state of mind!
Only insane billionaires plan for that.
I’m not looking to live forever. Just another 40 to 50 years as long as I’m healthy. Only plan for that is to eat somewhat healthy and get a couple hours of cardio and strength training in a few times a week. Nothing obsurd just enough to maintain strength as I age and get the heart pumping.
There are treatments in development to keep you healthy much longer that currently.
you might end up like ray kurzweil, aging no matter what despite 300 pills popped every day
Those treatments are in development. Not is use yet. The intention is to periodically reverse aging to shift it to many years younger state. Then repeat after some time.
no serious pharma company tries to do that, it’s all high proof uncut transhumanist nonsense, served by crackpots, feeding on old scifi and rooted in the same impulse that driven alchemists in search of immortality
i’m of course not gonna stop you from believing in anything, do what you want
Well, I did looked into the science of it a bit.
oh you “did your own research”. i work in pharma and there’s plenty of real problems to be solved instead of chasing wishes of dead chinese emperors
Thanks for your service 🙏
Do you know what is the single biggest risk factor for mortality globally, and especially in developed countries?
I don’t want em
That is totally OK. You don’t, others do. You have no obligation to use them 👍
