      Maybe! Hm The taboo on immortality is the oldest subject in literature And eternal life in this world is condemned or dismissed by the three most popular stories in the worldhttps://twitter.com/EvanSandhoefner/status/1156707195116933120 …

      Imagine being bitter enough to think that "I hope you die, along with everyone you love, & you're disgusting for hoping otherwise" is a good take pic.twitter.com/ohtZclP7p0

      no, the oldest theme is Gilgamesh, not a villain except by modern morality and for different reasons, wanting it

      It's not seen as immoral in Gilgamesh, just a fool's errand. Utnapishtim straight up tells Gilgamesh to not bother trying to become immortal because ultimately everyone dies. I think it backs Robot's point.

      Maybe not a hard taboo, but it was absolutely a "dismissal". A major theme of the epic is dealing with the powerlessness death gives us but that it's still an inevitability, even for the great heroes

      Replying to @ChrisExpTheNews @eigenrobot

      I'm afraid I can do much but repeat: original tweet is "most disgusting desires" and quoted is "taboo". Dismissed and unatainable even for heroes is a different sort of dinosaur IMO and this would be clear if topic was not death

      So his use of taboo specifically be too strong, but the theme of immortality in this life as not something humans get being one of our oldest literary themes still seems a valid point

      so was not getting to the Moon, although I'm more interested in anti-aging than inmortality : D (still don't see way around piano dropping on you on 495th birthday) I just view the hostility as in quoted tweet entirely unwarranted, and most treatment in fiction stupidly cliche
