See I've never understood why people obsess about living longer. All those extra years come at the end, which is the adult diaper, memory loosing, decrepit part of life. It doesn't stretch out the younger good parts, it just staves off death during the miserable part. Personally I'd rather just get it over with sooner with a nice, quick aneurysm in my sleep.

i’ve never understood the western obsession with equating the pursuit for immortality with vanity. you tell me you hear you’re gonna die one day, lights out and that’s it no more you forever, and you don’t even have just a little thought in the back of your mind, constantly begging a solution to the inevitable?

Nope.

Why beg for something that is impossible and likely to add to my pain later in life? I see no reason to hold onto that dream or to beg for it.

I don't understand what is worth sticking around indefinitely for either when it's the fact that the present is slipping by so quickly for so many. You don't get it back for living longer.
