Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell hell yeah. Not missing this one this time
Eight likes... whoa
Why so little?
0:22 Why at 0 surviving is 100%? I thought there was high baby death rate.
wait what? the channel is really called kurzgesagt?
I thought this would be some kind of auto-translation feature youtube had done...
"Sorry we are looking for candidates with at least 200 year experience"
Haha
"but the application said it was beginner level"
“But you said you were looking for people who are 199 years old”
im 2 years old
oh and you have to be 50 before being considered an adult now or something ridiculous like that
The only reason why I want to live longer is that I want to see the future of Humanity.
Same this comment needs more likes

@Shm yep because there will be no land on earth except we all actually occupy other planets and make civilization there (sorry for bad english)
But by technology we can make humans live more longer as they want remember in 1940s the average life of a human was only 35 -40 years and now humans can live more than even 100 years but the average of a human is now 80- 90 years
But after millions and millions of years humans will totally wiped put from this world if we can control the global warming
I think the most terrifying consequence of ending aging forever is not even the loneliness or the boredom or anything, but the fact that people will continue dying, except they'll all die of stuff like diseases and accidents, making their death even more tragic than a simple death by so-called "old age", since they'd otherwise be able to keep living indefinitely.
Make humans and animals young new and immortal
death by accidents or diseases would be much preferred considering aging completely cripples you down to misery
speak for yourself. i'd like to not suffer for 20 years before dying
you might have missed or not understood the "have a little more fun during sunset" analogy but "keep living indefinitely" is not the goal.
@@ecogreen123 Yeah, I’d still definitely prefer CGP Grey’s side of things; if I actually DO die from an accident, please re-make me from the last time something’s copied and updated my data, and then promptly catch “me” up on what happened right after.
I feel like the idea of wanting to die after living for a long time comes from the idea that after having experienced "everything" there wouldn't be much worth living for, but imo that really only applies in constrained situations, like the "would you rather die at 40 or live forever alone in a box" dilemma. In the real world, even if you manage to perfect every skill you ever wanted to, there's still all of the other people in the world to surround yourself with. On your own, eternal life might get dull, but if you allow the people around to influence you then I'd imagine live could stay interesting indefinitely.
Exactly, the possibilities are endless when it comes to science. We can achieve anything.
@@immortalityovereverythingscrawny nerd 🤓
Well, it's mostly because we transform something we don't have (yet or not) in our power to do, in something we force us to think we want.
It's all about perspective.
The day it becomes possible, you will see an enormous drop in "I'm ok with dying".
I'm not the gambling type, but for that, I might be gambling.
That's the interaction that make life interesting. 10 or 100 or 100 000 years.
With no interaction, only 1 year could kill you from boredom and by going litteraly crazy. (It's a punition to take someone out of any interaction, and even a torture).
Yeah, I don't see how I'd ever get bored. At no point in the last couple million years have we as a species stopped learning and advancing and growing. I don't think an individual would, either.
Knowledge-wise, there will likely always be more to learn. It would take me several years of dedicated study just to master -- truly master -- _many_ (not all) of the aspects of my current job. By the time I did that, everything would have changed, and I'd have to learn all the new stuff. And that's just for my one measly specific role! Let alone all the other fields and stuff to learn!
Personal development is a bit more of a question mark for me. I think you could feasibly learn how to get along harmoniously with all 8 billion people in the world. It would take a long time and require a _ton_ of personal growth, but I think it's feasible. If you spent a few millenia cultivating deep, meaningful relationships with just ~500 people, some of them similar to you, some of them vastly different, and some of whom you downright loathe... I don't think there would be much more for you to learn on that front. I would guess that forming deep bonds with the remaining 8 billion would probably be a breeze; you'd see the same patterns emerging that you already learned how to navigate. Or when it comes to dealing with the trauma of life, I _imagine_ you'd eventually reach a pretty Zen place and, again, see all the same patterns emerging over time.
That is what I think would be the coolest: gaining an intimate familiarity with all manner of patterns throughout life/reality, then being able to step back and notice higher level meta-patterns between those. I think you could gain some pretty deep wisdom.
some hundred years sure. maybe a couple of thousands even. but do you really thing you would find things interesting after a trillion years?
Imagine getting a life sentence in jail
[REDACTED]
I guess it just wouldn’t exist, everything would have to have a certain amount
Actually, a life sentence is a misnomer; it's not for your entire life, it's for a set number of years that's different for all countries.
@@novachromatic depends on where you are, in the us one available sentence is life without the possibility of parole.

If scientists ever find a cure for aging then the first immortals will probably be rats.
best comment so far
They are already. There has been experiments with rejuvenating rats that are twins. One remained very young and active while the other got freaking old and has scoliosis.
Btw in nature we already have immortal beings: the jellyfish.
They can naturally revert themselves into polyps and regrow indefinitely. That's why scientists are very interested in researching them so we can learn how they do it, and eventually apply it in us.
I think it’s a way of giving back to them. We have experimented on them for decades. They have saved millions of lives. So it’s fitting that they become the first immortals.
Underrated comment :(
I'd actually choose live forever.
Some people could say: _"You will get bored"._ And I say... What if death is even more boring? Even worse: what if it's actually nothing (the most probable)?
Living forever is more of a curse than a blessing.

ive always said 120 because my great grandma died at 108. If my friends get to be old with me and I get to keep my body in healthy condition 200 would be great! I would work on astrophysics theories, make many paintings, probably music too. I do all these things now but I feel pressured by my lifeline and health. I would love to have less pressure by living longer
I loved the analogy of mother calling the child who wants to play more and wished the day never ends, it's really touching.

Boy. i would hate to be that person who dies as they broadcast on television that immortality was discovered
for people that close there probably was no hope for them with the new technology anyway. You should look up Longevity Escape Velocity conceptualised by Aubrey De Gray
So help the movement. Proper life-extension technology is the most important thing we will ever invent.
you might've jinxed yourself
Man, that just screams _Mr.Nobody_ Good film
Probably 1000 years from today, in the year 3017 - there might be a cure for aging. Those of us here today, watching this video has no hope of immortality.
We can blame ourselves for being born too early. This is sad indeed, science research is not advancing fast enough, or we are simply not clever enough and hit a technological 'road block'
You guys opened my eyes.
Im actually scared to age and still dont know what to do in the future, but this video has helped me a lot.
I love sience, is not just about numbers, its even about emotions and life, i want to think that the universe is made for life and not for luck.
You are right man. But don’t be afraid of aging - just think of how to realistically stop it on the Large scale
@@Sedgehun tnx
living longer would be pretty cool on its own, and seeing all the changes and being around for that would be an amazing view
live forever is my option, or maybe just a bit longer than usual
People talking about "oh living forever would be a torture", but most people that are dying wished to live more simply because that's our survival instinct that is enough to keep us going forever,living is only tiring when your body is not working well anymore like most seniors(I'm 24 so that's just my perception, I will need to discover what is really to become old)

That is the ironic truth
“The end of biological aging would not mean the end of death in any way. It’s more like a Summer evening when you were a kid, and your mom called you inside. You just wanted to keep playing, have a little more fun during sunset before you went to sleep. It’s not about playing forever, just a little longer, until we feel tired.”
That is the most beautiful way of describing the want to prolong life I’ve ever heard.
agreed

lol now everyone is saying agreed lmao
With your ‘mom’ in that metaphor being Death
Given the option, I would choose to live forever. In fact, I'm actively studying to help in several fields that deal with life-extension research.
Mostly, I want to be able to not just do anything, but to do everything. I'd enjoy spending 60 years being a carpenter, then 60 more perfecting my ability to sell the things I make. Perhaps I'd spend 100 years learning all that college could teach you, then a hundred more learning from the mouths of the Albert Einsteins of the time. At the point where there's nothing else to do, I'd start creating things to do, perhaps by researching new technologies, provoking revolts/causing new conflicts both on a macro and micro scale, or just by going out and making friends, enjoying all the possibilities that exist in human interaction.
If I truly did manage to do every possible action, think every possible thought, and interact in every possible way, then I would simply wait to do the last thing I want to do; sit on a hill and watch the death of the universe tear me and the planet apart atom by atom
Middle age Emo guy : Now ded
imagine if we found a way out of this universe tho
be fun until you find yourself on that hill and realize you're not even 1% to the heat death of universe. another trillion years go by, will you still sit on that hill? another googol years, what now?
I am ready...
... to live forever.

Ideally, we'll all be there to watch this universe end. Hopefully science will have gotten far enough by then that we can make a new one that we all go to together.
5:24 this analogy hits hard every time I watch it…
Forever sounds good to me, the universe is a big place and there is always a new story to tell
Rycon Roleplays fucking love your vids man. You deserve more subs! Currently watching Logan's Dawn!
The law of eventuality dictates that you will do everything if given enough time. Now if you will forget and have to relearn something it would stay interesting. But, like many stories of immortality, an immortal yearns for the one thing they have yet to experience. Death.
I think it would be just lonely
Yeah, have fun in 7 billion years from now when the sun expands 100 million miles across and consumes the Earth. Enjoy roasting into nothing for eternity :)
Eemeli Kuusela it's interesting to think as to how we'd need to manage memories over time
I want to live more to see how the humanity will be finally unified, and explore the universe together.
I dont think you do
This will never happen
Yeah, humanity is pretty screwed.
@@straightupnothavingagoodtime It isn't that screwed. Sure, humans probably won't unify under one nation but they probably will explore together.
It appears that you have the fear of missing out. Don't be worry, because just as you wish you were living in some certain point of time in the past to see how it was like, when humanity is unified, people would wish they were us to see how we are living just right now.
Its the opposite for me, the idea of eventually dying fills me with absolute dread, i know others sometimes feel differently and thats fine, but it pisses me off when they try to force their believe on me for how they think i should feel about dying. Also i hate getting sleepy and needing to sleep, wish i could always be awake.
sleep does waste most of your time, but that's why I like it so much.
I feel the same as you feel. I don't know why people try to convince us that dying is OK, And that we all die. I believe we won't all die with advancements like these

I work in a retirement community, and at 31 it hurts something fierce seeing people in their 90's (a few over 100 even) who are so slowly losing touch. Some of them more aware than others, but all of them touched by age itself. I've repeated told people I really don't really want to hit a point where my mind isn't aware anymore. Cure that. . .it depends on the state of the world. As the world stands now? Honestly? I'm not too sure I would want to go past 80 anyway. Yes, there are a lot of wonderful things in the world, the average individual just based on personal finances though is never going to experience them and I don't see society changing that drastically where you won't see the majority of the work force who (as things current stand) aren't going to be able to retire.
I love watching these collabs of two of my favorite youtubers
Living forever would allow us to have experts in all fields become unfathomably more experienced, and there would be a complete paradigm shift in the speed of our endeavours

Honestly if I could stay relatively healthy (like at least have the body of someone in their 40s) I'd be more than happy to live for at least a few hundred years. For me it feels like time flies by so fast and I'd love to have more time on the earth to leave an impact.

Why have an existencial crisis? The idea of not aging is beautiful.

Physical and chronological age will become separate
It'll probably, definitely still be the same as it is today with the only difference being that some of those pedophiles would be many more decades or centuries older than their underage victims. I sadly don't think that's ever going to be completely gone even with humans living much longer lives.

Yea why not live forever. Eventually even if your body is worthless they'll have some sort of virtual reality world you could live in.
But would it be valid in India?
ThioJoe must be watching too much black mirror

I think you'd be suprised how few people are suited for eternal life
maybe an dumb example, but there's a good point in all those fantasy storys and how eg. vampires that aren't killed by someone/-thing end up killing themselves after 400 year out of boredom
the world may seem big but already it is possible to travel and see pretty much all of it in a lifetime and we already live long enought to see repatition in human behaviour and be dissapointed, dont need to live to 400 to get existential depression, you can alredy get that with 20
with new entertainment media you might stay entertained in the future but also your standarts will rise, you're probably going to be just as happy with a playstation 6 as you were with a PS 2 yeas ago, or end up trying to evolve and reinvent everything to the point that its nothing more than a sick corrupted perversion of any human concept and from your current perspective maybe even worse than death

Realy realy good vid watched it a few Times by now. The deat is a Importen Part of being human... It Brings an end even for the worst of us ..
not dying means never moving on. for me, i want to live life while it lasts, and pass on quietly when my time runs out. to me, never dying is never accepting that life has to end someday.
I'd rather be able to live forever, and decide myself if I lived long enough.
Samee
Agreed
That's my thought process, but then how do I die, suicide or will they simply take away my immortality and I wait to die
@@SunPotato01 i think that a realistic immortality is not the same as invulnerability. I see immortality more as an achievement of a very advanced society, where it can stop most of the processes that caused the human body to stop working. Specially the ones that lead to ageing. So, we'd still be able to die, but it would still be up to choice.
But then I think: what is our brain's limit to storage memories? How long would it take for us to be a completely different person? How many years would be enough to forget the first century completely?
I'd love to be able to live as long as I want. Not necessarily "immortal," but as it is now, it feels as though there's no way to do all the things you want to do in life before it's too late to do them. That kinda sucks. What would be more important for me though is staying healthy as I age. I'd rather die than spend half my life hooked up to machines in a hospital bed.
I am with you +Mogawty Gaming. The aging itself is far more scarier and unpleasant to me personally that the death itself. I'm extremely individualistic, curious and introverted, so depending on someone and being unable to explore and do thing on oneself are horrifying to me, and far more crippling than the idea of death, as unorthodox as that may sound.
If we could do everything we want in a life time then there would be no questions to be answered, Einstein would still be discovering things and Issac Newton.
Perhaps you can't fix everything, but you can do a lot already by proper exercise, healthy diet, and mental stimulation and self improvement every day. You'd spend a lot less time in the hospital, if any at all. You'll still die, but you don't have to spend most of your later life in the hospital doing nothing and wasting away (to be honest, this is already a kind of death - mental death).
RangerOfAlcyone Terrible!! Seems that whites are the true victims here! Everybody's racist against us!
LunaticSoul™ Don't be too serious, I'm only joking ;)
This really hits home for me. I love learning and observing, so the appeal of living a long time to experience more is very strong. But I also like the idea that my body will be recycled and my chemical components will become other things. Kind of an immortality in itself. Do we ever truly die? Were we ever truly alive? It's all very profound. I would like to live long enough to watch the trees I've planted grow to maturity, but I'm already in my 30s, and the window is limited. By the time these trees are old enough to develop hollows to support more life I'll already be dust. Who will buy my land? Will they keep the forest I've planted? Will it be bulldozed to build more houses? What will my legacy amount to? These thoughts make me crave longer life. The desire for control. But as I age I become more accepting that what will be will be, and the more I learn, the less I feel like any of it actually matters. All life must end in the great recycling of the universe, to develop and start again when the right elements come together. Earth is not anomalous. There's simply too much stuff out there for it to be. So what matter what happens to my little speck of existence? One day my elements will be part of a sun or black hole, as once they were, and will be again. But gee...to see those trees grow up would be nice 😄
Die Investoren werfen ihr Geld weg, um ein Heilmittel für die Verjüngung zu entwickeln. Kein Gerontologe ist in der Lage, ein Heilmittel gegen das Altern zu entwickeln. Für Genetiker gilt das noch weniger. Sie verstehen die Natur des Alterns nicht. Alle allgemein akzeptierten Theorien des Alterns sind fehlerhaft und dumm. Selbst diejenigen, die Nobelpreise gewonnen haben, haben sehr fehlerhafte Theorien. Aber es gibt eine echte Theorie des Alterns. Auf der Grundlage der wahren Theorie wurde eine Verjüngungstechnologie entwickelt, die effektiv funktioniert und die Menschen in drei Jahren um 15 Jahre verjüngt. Aber warum die Menschen verjüngen? Sie sollen so lange leben, wie Gott es zulässt. Alle sollten an Altersschwäche sterben. Dies ist das richtige, gerechte Naturgesetz.

Investors are throwing their money away to develop a cure for rejuvenation. None of the gerontologists are capable of creating a cure for aging. Geneticists even less so. They do not understand the nature of aging. All the generally accepted theories of aging are flawed and stupid. Even those who have won Nobel prizes have very erroneous theories. But there is a true theory of aging. Based on the true theory, a technology for rejuvenation has been developed, it works effectively, rejuvenating people by 15 years in three years. But why rejuvenate people? Let them live as long as God allows. All should die of old age. This is the right, fair law of nature.
We planted trees in my backyard, at most 28 years ago. Some of the trees are huge now. They are a fast growing variety I guess, but I'd say you have hope.
Reminds me of the Book of Ecclesiastes. It tells the thoughts of an old, and arguably, a very successful man, recounting what in his mind, actually matters. What is left of the legacy and hard work, after death, and his thoughts on youth. It's weird to see how some things never seem to change. The book is between 2100-3000 years old by now.
Different people get a very different reads from it. Some feel it's deeply pessimistic and cynical, but others find it pragmatic yet encouraging life.

The greatest epic in the whole universe heh
Everybody thinks this until they've had enough of life and want to die, wether it be emotional distress or simply being bored of life. Living until an uncertain foreverness would be just as much of a curse as dying prematurely.
That only happens in movies. People want to die at an old age due to the pain of living, literally. You will never experience all there is in life, no planet, no galaxy. You will never be able to tell what lies on the other side of the horizon, you will never know what the day or the future will bring you. It is impossible to be bored of life. We're not talking about eternal age only, we're talking about eternal youth.
Its self grief and pity at the end, and that can be removed.
We can choose to no longer have an age where the old chooses to let go because they are a burden to those around them.
I have literally spent so much of my life with mental health problems and abuse, the chance at becoming healthy again just as my mind is finally mending and expanding feels like a dream. I'd give myself a few centuries at least, and let's say a break from work every 50 year for 15 years so I can make career changes.
I don't even need space travel, life has so many things to learn I wanna go down a lot of path. 40 years in IT, then 40 years in art, then maybe 40 years in sports. Then maybe 40 years as a meditating monk. So much to do, experience and learn.
lets be honest here if we become immortal we're going to work a lot more
This is the moat genuine reason I've seen for immortality, bless your heart.
@@gloekgloek3046 you've reduced work to doing a job
Ah yes the good ol 40. All dark souls players know you get diminishing returns after 40 on any stat!
Technically, we already do that when we re-incarnate.

Bro I’m only twelve, but I can’t stop: it’s going to fast. I just want to stay a kid, I want to be with my friends, I want my family to care for me, I want to be a kid, I don’t want to pass the days in and out of school. It’s not stopping, it’s just going faster. I just wish it wouldn’t, 6 years then I’m out, I lose everything I love and enjoy. My family will slowly grow apart, and die, my friends from school will be gone, I’ll have bigger responsibilities, I’ll have to provide and care for my kids, I just want to stay.
120 years? We should go for 300+, astronomers 100 years ago were fantasizing going to the moon, now we have a goal for life on mars, goals are a limit, aim for your dreams
luis blancos but then the world will be overpopulated do we really need more people unless ppl stopped having children
If you can even aim for your dreams at all, your goals are not the limit. One thing we need to accept is that we have no idea where the limits of technology are
luis blancos I think that humans never even touched the moon, interstellar (the 2014 movie) says that americans never touched the moon(never landed on there, never intended to) right?

JESUS CHIRST KURZGESAGT, YOU CURED MY THANTOPHOBIA
For those like me who dident know what Thantophobia is, it is the fear of death or dying
*Thanatophobia*
Kurzegesagt caused it to me actually, but well meditation helped me a lot.
Drayton Kejick-Fair *Thanosphobia*
Death is slumber.
My personal answer?
I want to live with my grandparents more, with my mother more. They have provided so much for me and took care of me. I want to return that favor, but it will take a considerable amount of time to do so. I want to live so I can give them their life back.
I want to live for them to live.
i want to cure aging so i can save family pets and elderly relitives hope it happens soon i dont want to lose them
If I had the option of never aging and choosing when I die I’d take it. Super curious to see the next few hundred/thousand years
Die Investoren werfen ihr Geld weg, um ein Heilmittel für die Verjüngung zu entwickeln. Kein Gerontologe ist in der Lage, ein Heilmittel gegen das Altern zu entwickeln. Für Genetiker gilt das noch weniger. Sie verstehen die Natur des Alterns nicht. Alle allgemein akzeptierten Theorien des Alterns sind fehlerhaft und dumm. Selbst diejenigen, die Nobelpreise gewonnen haben, haben sehr fehlerhafte Theorien. Aber es gibt eine echte Theorie des Alterns. Auf der Grundlage der wahren Theorie wurde eine Verjüngungstechnologie entwickelt, die effektiv funktioniert und die Menschen in drei Jahren um 15 Jahre verjüngt. Aber warum die Menschen verjüngen? Sie sollen so lange leben, wie Gott es zulässt. Alle sollten an Altersschwäche sterben. Dies ist das richtige, gerechte Naturgesetz.

Definitely agree, learning new skills, colonization on different planets, exo-planets, befriending different alien life forms in which both parties have each others best interests at heart etc..
I am only 68 years old & I am in pretty good health for my age. I still work full time in a fairly demanding job. However, I HATE being old & I wouldn't want to live past 75 . If science could restore my youth & allow me to live in a young body to say 120, I would consider that a very good deal.
Rejuvenation research is the area of scientific research in which underlying damages that build up and lead to medical conditions (such as most cancers, Alzheimer's, dementia, ect.) are explored in order to create medical therapies (called "rejuvenation biotechnologies"); after the rejuvenation biotechnologies are developed, the elderly will become perfectly healthy, which will, as a side effect of staying perfectly healthy, lead to indefinite lifespans (this is called "longevity escape velocity"); Aubrey de Grey from the SENS Research Foundation (which has published around 90 peer-reviewed papers) thinks there's a 50/50 chance of people and animals reaching longevity escape velocity by the year 2036.
My grandfather is 91 years old. He has very few wrinkles on his face and his beard is not completely white. He is still sharp minded. He is still alive and living with us. He is much healthier than the other old men۔...... And my grandmother is also alive she is 80yrs,she is more active and helthier than my grandfather but she have more wrinkles than him, she react like girls😂, she still has a sharp mind.

@ghost mall: I don't know if I am exactly "intimidated", but I do think about death a lot & many of my close friends have died in the last few years. My biggest fear is becoming infirm & having to be "taken care of". I want to go out as the man that I am right now & I want to go before any of my descendants die.
At the present time, I am happy & healthy & strong. I put in 40+ hours of physical work every week & life is better than it ever was before in many ways. I could live in the present moment a long time. 😉

I think living 200 years old is soo great, but for some people they will get bored and for some they are achieving their dreams and fixing their mistakes, so thats why 200 years is enough because you could achieve anything you want and spend more time with your lived ones and improve the future, and see all the great events happening
It's for those people to decide if they wanna clock out or not, I just hope they give the rest of us the option to live for a couple millennia
I need an infinite amount of time to do and achieve what I want to do
I would love to live forever and to help people and learn everything about everything on the way.
I would personally love not aging anymore, but you know what I'd like even more? Birds back in Kurzgesagt.

It's not the first time
And LifeNoggin, also about death.
El Duderino Thats a very shit comparison. They tackle very different topics,
Vsauce is all about science and weird questions.
While CGPgrey is all about economics, and philosophy.
They can't be compared because they make very separate videos. You can enjoy both channels.
We need an update on this video with all the new work and research over the 5 years since this video
i will say yes, i want to be in my teen forever and my parents at their 30's so we can enjoy life. I cant accept the deaths of my parents yet, they are everything to me
Death is the ONLY thing that makes our life meaningful, if u have infinite time nothing will matter to you, NOTHING
@@pirothebest1999 not true this is kind of an idea i hate that is popularized in the "lone immortal" trope in media which in that case yeah if nothing lasts forever except you then what's the meaning of anything but this isn't the case here if you and everything/one you know and love is immortal then life will still be meaningful
*life is inehrently meaningful* in fact it might be better imagine all the experiences you could have and never having to experience loss so no death isn't what makes life meaningful.
I really wish my grandparents could live forever. I love them so much.
Me too man, I wish they stay with me forever
Yeah. They’re so nice and caring.
convince them for cryonics
I miss mine
go become a researcher to this thing and make it quick
unless... :(
im sorry
I love how they say "Until you feel tired", it makes the concept of stopping age altogether as a good thing because death will become something we have complete control over, except for accidents or murder.
murders wont kill as much cuz if they got life in prison they wouid be in prison for ever
@@joshclark756 In that scenario, lifetime sentences would be undeniably a stupid idea. What's the point of housing, clothing, and feeding a criminal forever? It would make much more sense to try to rehabilitate criminals than to punish them senselessly. It makes sense to do it now, but people seem too vindictive to want that.
Eventually, however, the chances of dying from something like a crash or something similar would tend to 100%
@@theyellowmeteor I agree with you on the fact that lifetime sentences forever is dumb, but I don't think we should rehabilitate murderers now because people who have killed innocent people shouldn't have a second chance at freedom because the dead people won't either.
But I agree that petty crimes like drugs and stuff should get rehabilitation instead of prison.
@@harmony8278 I sympathize with your opinion on murderers, but it's based in a rather primitive idea of retribution. The people the murderer killed aren't coming back to life regardless of what we do. Logically speaking, there's no reason not to rehabilitate as many people as we can, regardless of the crimes they've committed. If we based our justice system on the idea that people can become better, we shouldn't get to arbitrarily restrict the opportunity only to those whose crimes we can personally let slide.
I only really want to live until my son is older. Granted, if aging was stopped, I'm sure they'd have a solution to my heart problems and epilepsy, and I wouldn't be in such a rush to get out of here, but
I want to live forever its my life goal what started when I was 4 years old and its continuing today

I agree. I have no problem with death. We all have to die sometime. I just do not want to age.
I would like to not live
I would say until I am about 3 or 4 hundred I think that is more than enough time to live and to make peace with dying
there is never enough time, i would choose to live forever.
Reminds me of the talk about aging with my flatmate... For some reason she romanticises the idea that she'll some day be old and then die peacefully... I'm just scared of being in pain and losing control of my mind and body. Immortality sounds like a bad idea but to stop aging would be perfect
This is much, _much_ better than CGP's self-indulgent counterpart. I'll have to thank him for linking to this one.

A lot of people say "but if I would live forever life would be worthless" Idc, the fact that I could see humanity evolve from what we have now to colonizing other planets, building dyson spheres, it just makes me hyped for what exciting news I could potentially miss by dying, if I had a chance to live forever I would definitely take it
Yes, we absolutely SHOULD live forever.
I honestly wouldn't want to die at all. The possibility of being able to live so many technology advancements is extremely exciting to me!
As a famous German software engineer and hacker once said: "Working with immortal software systems has shown me how important it is that humans eventually die."
Immortality is not all sunshine and rainbows. You will eventually go insane from not dying from old age. Humans were never meant to be immortal. The brain wouldn't be able to comprehend the very idea. You may think you want to be immortal, but what you as a person thinks is different to how your brain thinks.
Even if we found a cure for aging we still will die , when the universe comes to an end, you wouldn’t be inmortal only live ridiculously large lifespans.

It's kind of weird and sad to think of life, knowing we all gonna die anyways and thinking what's gonna happen in 1000 years... Well, it would only be great to live longer to see our children grow old and our loved ones' future which all that matters in the end. To recognise our regrets, our failures, and successive moments and if, ever, we could get a chance to rebirth and make things right...But that's just a myth - the thing is to start now, and don't waste a second of your life especially with your family and friends. ♡♡♡
It may not be only myth, at least for one species.
The jellyfish species Turritopsis dorhnii can undergo a literal "rebirth" - their entire body reverts to a baby stage, down to the cellular level. However, they can't do it again until they've fully grown again.
I want to live 50 000 without ageing, while never being sick, never getting any memory losses and with the time perception i have right now.
Edit: And i also want to be the same person everytime. Not different clones.
I want to live as long as it takes to see the first human interstellar settlements, and meeting the first aliens. So probably between 200 and 1000 years.
