Seems overrated. Rather live indefinitely and choose my own departure time.
Hm. To each his own. Personally lust for immortality smacks of our unconditional counterparts. I say embrace the pain and experience of aging, it becomes life affirming. An antidote to an anesthetic life. As for me, I enjoy dreamless sleep. I think I’ll handle death well enough.
To me, the removal of finitude from being makes the act of forging ones life into a project of overcoming said finitude irrelevant. Think about what we’ve said happens to the human condition after UBI. Lifespan=capital. UBI=immortality. Mortality=pressure to act. And act well.
Not sure about that… I derive pleasure in itself from action, volition, getting my way, etc. My sense is this wouldn't dissipate from knowing I was acting on a very extended timeline.
