No Future Without Immortality. Everything Else Is Just Noise
We are "building" a city on Mars. A backup for people who still die. So now we can die on two planets instead of one. Progress.
We spend trillions on weapons. Machines built to make death faster, as if the trouble with dying was the wait. Meanwhile the labs working on aging get the spare change from the couch.
And the cosmetics aisle sells you young skin to wear on your way to the grave.
We are very good at this. We fix everything except the part where it ends.
Here is the strange part. The fix is not exotic.
Nobody needs a soul in a jar. Nobody needs a robot body.
You just stop the body from breaking on schedule. Slow the aging. Repair the damage. Push the clock back a little. Then a little more.
Rejuvenation, not resurrection. Boring. Mechanical. Doable.
That should be the main project. The one we throw the trillions at.
Mars can wait. The weapons can wait. The youth creams can wait.
So here is my question.
If it worked - real rejuvenation, not a cream - would you take it?
More years. A body that still works. The clock pushed back.
Or do you stop at some point? Say "enough, I am done"?
Where is your line? And why there?
