No, the one that recognizes there are problems with the system and tries to help others regardless.

This is the America I know and love.

Or, create a megastructure in space spanning the solar system, like a Dyson sphere to store the trillions of conciousnesses and the vast virtual worlds for them to play around in until the sun explodes.

I’ve never understood this argument. I love spending time with my family and friends. On top of that I have plenty of other interests I never seem to have enough time for. If those ever seemed to get old there are countless other things to try out.

Speak for yourself.

all technologies are expensive at first. like cars, those were for the rich at first

Worst case, you could travel the universe insulting everyone in alphabetical order.

One cannot represent the people if one does not know the people. As for the quips, I will consider it. But I find that as long as he is in office he must be addressed. I simply choose to do so without his name, which requires... substitution. Because he values his name as his brand above all his other possessions. I…

the constant fear of having a killer nearby plus the thrill of pursuing your own victims make boredom irrelevant.

That’s one argument I never understood, does anyone really moves and do interesting things just for the fear of how he/she will be remembered? Personally, I couldn’t care less about that, I do things moved by my curiosity, moral and the good of my family and what people will think about me after I’m dead, is the least…

See, e.g., Blish, James, Cities in Flight.

Let’s go with the Old Man’s War model. Your consciousness can be transferred to a new, bio-engineered body when you’re in your 70's. But only if you divest all rights and assets and sign on for a term of service with the Colonial Defense Forces to protect Earth’s future colonies. If you survive a term of service of 4…

this could for sure be its own post

1) Anti-aging tech will essentially be a public service pushed to everyone pretty much by mandatory decree for “free”. The reason: aging costs far too much in resources and manpower. Not only do you lose the productivity of the person who has aged beyond usefulness... but for sentimental and humane reasons you must…

Yep, movies and books always try to show how awful it would be, in reality, their arguments are weak, it would be amazing

We’re talking about a cure for death, not a populist overlord. It’s the common enemy of all living creatures. If we have the means to explore that, then we should, if only because we can.

Humans would benefit from being comfortable with their body and not looking at it as “gross”.

I hear this one a lot when people talk about the downside of immortality. I just can’t agree with this. There will always be something that brings you joy (or misery) to keep you from getting bored. Unless you end up in some sort of Hulk post existence world where it is just you and the heat death of the universe,…

If I know anything about life, it is, ‘nature will always find a way to bring you home to the cold dark ground’

Hey, how ‘bout we just cure death, then worry about the moral implications once we’re in beta. Kay?
