I'll be pissed off if they cure aging when I'm already 80.

And then if they cure death I guess I'll be pissed off forever.




Luckily we can already start increasing our healthspan with all the recent available research.


It amazes me that we do not have a publicly funded initiative to cure death. It makes me incredibly angry and frustrated at both the general populace and the government.

First, the idiocy of the general populace to not prioritize death as a problem when it will inevitably be one for them, their children, and everyone they know; and second, for the government to waste trillions of dollars on useless initiatives when that could instead be invested in curing an ailment that has plagued every human to ever live.

If we cared as much about curing aging and death as we did about investing in even a single fighter jet program, we may well be there by now.

I feel like I live in a clown world where the average person hems and haws over trivial problems when they are literally about to fucking die.
