Man, the replies here really prove how much of a cult deathism really is.

Well they are lead to believe that a life of eating Big Macs is a normal diet and dying with diabetes at 70 is absolutely the normal human condition.

I gave up on it when it turned out one of the figureheads of anti-aging researched ended up being a huge creep and everyone involved rushed to defend them. 💀 It's like, nah if these are the kinds of people who are going to be prevalent in a post-death world, i'd rather die.

That's not even accounting for those doing eugenics pseudoscience injecting baby penises into their faces thinking it will make them live forever. No thank you. It's a good thing that shit has a zero% chance of working and has a not-zero% chance of doing the opposite.

Imaginable as tolerable? Please God no.
