Not really, especially if we have the ability to expand beyond our world and form livable conditions elsewhere. Rules could be composed such as being able to see through the eyes of drones or other robotics while our physical body is kept safe in underground facilities. You put so many limits on what we could do and that's forming the foundation of your flawed reasoning.

You use the catchphrase death defines life as if it's scientific staple because it sounds good. But catchy phrases don't dictate reality, and the real truth is that you have no idea how it would actually play our. You are guessing. Yet you state it as matter of fact.

Humans have shown tremendous resilience towards adversity. Adversity and necessity have driven us to do extraordinary things scientifically, things that would seem like magic to humans living hundreds of years ago.

So I don't take your quote of death defining the value of life. In fact the majority of the world is religious who believe that death is just the beginning and that the afterlife defines life. Yet the world keeps spinning and people keep going with renewed vigor constantly.

Edit because I get upset about crap like this. Human beings are a huge contributor to imbalance to nature. But steps are being taken to help that imbalance, with things like lab grown meats and combating climate change. The future is not limited because you say so. We can actually make it a goal to sustain and maintain balance better than anything else out there. Intervening in moments where species are nearly extinct, providing care and shelter and everything else under the sun. I'm sorry but you aren't seeing any type of big picture possibilities and just harping on your small scope lens you read about in news feeds everyday. If you stop and take a step back and look at it in a wider lens you could see that humanity living much longer really is actually for the better of nature and not the other way around.

You can pry the eyeliner from my cold dead hands ITS NOT A PHASE I LITERALLY BECAME A MORTICIAN

I mean I was born in 2002 and they even flashback to that year now 😭

The obsession with extending human life is unhealthy to the balance of nature and would cause massive problems. The population would explode so rapidly, we’d start eating each other to survive. Death defines the value of life.

2.2 million isn’t even that much. Take a couple, both right around 50. Between a house a decent retirement savings it is quite easy to have accumulated that much or even $3 mil net worth and that’s by no means feeling rich.

I was a part of the whole emo goth rise in popularity of the early to mid 00s when I was in highschool.

I've heard they call them E Kids now?

All I care about is that MCR is back. Even if these days I dress like J Crew threw up on me I still love the old hits from 2004-06

My dad just finally acknowledged that my wife and I are never actually “off” work. Even on vacation and holidays we still have to constantly be thinking about what we have waiting when we get back to the office (not necessarily a physical space)

That being said, there’s a quality of life that I want to maintain for my family. I like having a place to live, I like to eat food, I like having water and transportation. Those things require money. The only way to get the money is to provide a good or service that is marketable. So I work. I think one of the reasons the older generations (which now includes millennials) are somewhat (or overtly) hostile to this anti capitalism is because we don’t really see a way out. If we stop, we lose all of the things that we have literally worked our entire lives to gain- and asking people to give up everything they have worked for to uphold an ideal that many of us don’t agree with in the first place is unrealistic. (The ideal being that all of a sudden society will just become one big commune where everyone just openly shares all goods, services, and labor “for the common good”.).

We can’t even stop killing each other over dirt and whether we agree about the sky monster that controls everything. How in the fuck are we going to get everyone to agree to work for free so we can all have the same quality of life across the board. How do you quantify the value of a more dangerous job, or disgusting job, vs an easy job, or fun job?

Really? Never thought of a male fairy of any kind. Weird.
