I suspect that part of the obsession with "curing" death is the Modern's inability to
become. See Johnnyvee's post regarding the VR goggles, and how they just had to include trannies in it. The Modern wants to live vicariously, experiencing everything without ever accomplishing or becoming. Without becoming, they never become parents. "Curing" death seems to be a way to ignore the massive demographic crisis we're facing.
How many of us wasted our twenties experiencing different women? To what end? I don't remember most of them, and none of them changed me for the better.
Of particular note in that video, was the comment at the end about "being able to learn from our mistakes." How many people have you met that actually learn from their mistakes? The vast majority double down. In High School it was pot; in their twenties is was blow; by their forties it's crack cocaine. They've pissed their lives away on progressively more destructive drugs, and their eventual death in a gutter will be a relief to us all. One less destructive parasite to carry along.
Not to mention the issue with reproduction+Life Extension. The idiots will breed, and breed, and breed, producing dysfunctional offspring, while the intelligent hold off until the time is right. Basically the situation we already have, squared.
The amount of controls that would need to be put in place if this technology were ever developed are terrifying to think of. The arrogance that these people approach the human condition with... as if science can perfect the human moral condition.
It is our moral failings that make this life hell, far more than death. I am also on the dragon's side.
