It's okay to fear death if you don't let that fear control you. We should be pushing the spare capacity for risk we've generated, not resting and letting our potential go to waste. The same applies to any future capacity medical advances generate. To put it in the crudest possible terms, immortality is for pussies. Choose instead to die gloriously.
The grand irony is that all the other medical technologies acquired along the way as part of the general pattern of technological development necessary to achieve enhanced lifespans would very well allow me to achieve much more of my potential.
…to have energy, to have focus, to have executive functioning, for all these to be much less of a battle, why did you think I wanted to live so long in the first place?
There’s a lot of art to make, way more than can be crammed into a single human lifetime, much less a single dysfunctional human lifespan.
The “but living longer will remove meaning from human life!” arguments were always somewhat bizarre to me. Making a book, or a comic book, or a movie, it takes a long time!
