But is it? Is that actually true? Seems to me that "pandemic depression" is EXTREMELY RATIONAL Someone who falls into a "quarantine funk" is fucking saving lives -- their own and others -- by lying in bed and not moving and refusing to believe it's safe out there

I dunno if I actively identify as a "transhumanist" or "posthumanist" or whatever And sometimes I'm sympathetic to hopes for human extinction, which you'd think would be the opposite of that But both are desires for THIS -- the status quo of human existence -- to pass away

It's really that desire that's so repulsive That nothing should come after us, nothing comes next Just more and more and more of this shit, FOREVER The old school sci-fi "mankind conquering the stars", where people just like us move onto every other planet for 10 million years

I could be pedantic and ramble about transhumanism, but instead, I'll simply say that I think Jung is oversimplifying. People don't _have_ to gouge on resources. They don't have to monopolize. Beyond a certain threshold, there isn't any point besides megalomania.

Things have to end sometime The desire for them not to end is repulsive and monstrous

Aging and death aren't just apoptosis though, apoptosis is a specific function of a cell that is useful to an organism as a whole. If a retrovirus could lengthen your telomeres in each cell equally and add decades to your life, would you use it?

If you asked an individual cancer cell whether it wanted to live forever it'd say yes too
