      Death is good, actually. Rather, it is a deliberate design choice that always dominates immortality. The logic is simple: peak and even sustained performance is maximized by optimizing for quick growth and reproduction, trading off against durability.https://twitter.com/jeremywreal/status/1345475354664841216 …

      The best race car crosses the finish line in first place, and promptly falls apart. Every part is only exactly as durable as it needs to be to accomplish its mission.

      Organisms are the same: no doubt we could have evolved more redundancy and regeneration, but to do so tends to trade off against performance. Two hearts means twice as much mass and energy. Better results in practice from mortality.

      But why do we care about our evolutionary "purpose" instead of our own gratification? Fortunately, God has an answer for us: because we're going to die. If we're going to die, we have to find meaning beyond ourselves.

      Are we going to die? Yes! Death is not just a good idea, it's the law. All complex systems eventually fail. The only thing that can run permanently without degeneracy is the evolving totality of life itself, which has no identity except its niche and some inertia.

      So we're caught in a bind: we're going to die, and the only thing beyond ourselves that's really going to last is something that's only defined by fulfilling what seems to be God's will. We must submit. We are created for a purpose, and find solid meaning only there.

      Before we get too prideful in thinking that life itself will last forever, heat death: God has decreed a final reckoning with all pride and self attachment. At some point we must find meaning not in the infiniteness of the future, but the finiteness of what we have accomplished.

      memento mori is important, and I view upload cultists as fundamentally mistaken about the self *and* we can, should, treat aging and senescence as the diseases they are there's probably some soft limit where brains stop working, but a couple hundred in perfect health? why not?/

      I don't think there's any real conflict between wanting to extend life as much as possible and accepting that death is still inevitable

      yes and people who couch life extension and aging reversal as a programme for immortality are in denial imho in a way that's harmless to me and instrumental to my goals, so I leave them alone about it, mostly
