Human death has a hidden social benefit- the next generation can be freed from the ideology of the previous generation. For instance, most fundamentalist Christians are old people, and it's also clear that the older a person is, the more racist, sexist, heterosexist, ethnocentric, and religiously prejudiced they are likely to be. When they finally die off, they will stop voting for the same kind of archaic-minded people and stop influencing potentially rational, all-accepting children.
As racists die... exceptional minds do. Idiots(for instance) die and leave room to new idiots. I agree with you about refreshing the society with new ideologies... this is mostly how we evolve but imagine giving the possibility to great minds to keep studying and learning and improving indefinitely. Imagine how much wisdom each mind may be able to achieve. Beside, Weather it is morally right or not I see our immortal future as a consequence of our intellect.
@jandaletto I agree that immortality would allow certain great people to contribute much more than they would otherwise, but if immortality was given to everyone, I'm sure there'd be 700 year old fundamentalist religious people, heterosexists, and other prejudicial crazies, just like there are now, because age doesn't seem to have much affect on correctness or sanity, exemplified by so many old people today.
So your only allowed to die when the maximum amount of money and labour has been generated from you. We're beginning to sound more like insects and less like human beings . Your only of value if you generate momentum for society so the clever rich people
get to live and the dumb youtuber gets to pass on. This sounds like evolution will have its
way with us and only clever people will live on which might not be a bad thing.
@cheebbs1 Aubrey De Greys work isn't focused on "immortality." Regenerative medicine will lengthen your lifespan little by little until it can be done indefinitely. This isn't a communist country, it will be not forced upon you to be any part of it if you don't want.
I hate to toss logic out the window and just go with gut feelings. But god damn, a society that can reverse aging just seems like a bad idea that will lead to enormous amounts of unforeseeable repercussions.
@oscie1 That's quite a bold claim. What are you basing that on?
We lived without money for the majority of human history. Only the last few millennia we used money, and that's only because of scarcity. I don's see how we could possibly continue to use money when technology continues to increase at the rate it does.
I take a slightly different stand point. If we can create a world free of ageing, the first thing we need is to have room for the foreseeable population boom. It will occur minimal people ageing + people being born + population growth. As such things such as space colonies and terraformed planets need to be made.
Also I'm fully against extending many peoples lives. People who have negatively impacting mental disorders (Schizophrenia, Homosexuality, Autism, etc) need to be removed.
@karnowo123 And before anyone gets up and at me for this I need to add... These negatively effect society. By controlling which humans die and which live we can hopefully breed out these problems.
@karnowo123 yeah, let's just wipe out anyone who isn't you. I could see letting those die that really do have some issue that stops them from functioning properly in society for the sake of reducing over population, but to group some of the people you mentioned into that category is bullshit. Grouping homosexuality in this group? Really? Homophobic much? I'm not gay, but never once in my life have gay people effected MY life, people are all different, get use to it.
@halfawake454 Homosexuality isn't "normal" it is a brain disorder no matter how you look at it. People just refuse to accept it because of how we have to "accept them"... but really its the same as saying we should accept people who have autism. Well in a way yes. But more so in the sense that we should feel sorry for them then anything else.
So you know I wouldn't qualify to receive the life extension either as most members of my family have mental disorders and its believed I have BiPolar
@karnowo123 There must be something going on in the brain that makes someone homosexual, of course, but this behavior isn't hurting themselves and it isn't hurting anyone else. It's just homophobes that for some odd reason think it is destroying society, when it is not, their intolerance is. People are different get used to it. We don't need to be going around trying to "fix" every little thing about people. Besides, I think homosexuality is so common that it could be considered...
@karnowo123 continued....normal. Mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and more have all been observed committing homosexual acts. Hundreds and hundreds of species.
@Zetarrino Actually yeah I heard, I also heard that he has said in another interview that either he will be very old when they perfect what they are doing and are ready to use it, or dead. So, my smart ass friend, you and I may not be old enough to sport a head of silver cloth when it, or IF it becomes marketable but he for sure will.
@theophilis That may be true, but on the other hand the same technology that keeps us young since we haven't gotten old yet, may regress his aging process making him young again.
That doesn't mean people wont die, it just means they will look and function like their prime. They still can get killed, they still die because in your body you still have a biological clock that willl kill you. You will die.
Rasputin is a pretty cool guy. Why aren't there more people investing on finding the secret of immortality rather than spending money on superficial stuff ?
@dudesonman4200 If only life were so simple... You see, my education is necessary to make my life a bit easier; I'll be able to create a solid learning environment for myself. The thing is, I may have chosen a education level a bit too high for my abilities in my strive to be able to take time to choose the occupation that truly fits me. As it appears to be that almost all things are interesting to a great extent.
Which then drives me away from what I'm supposed to do for school D:
@4z4i I conclude that these videos are probably more important that your homework, you will really learn a lot form this, BUT the most important thing - this will make boring chemistry/physics/math so much more interesting.
I did not had a lot of motivation because I saw no "real life" value in my lessons,..
I think if humans lived onger our society would stagnate and die since old ideas would stay around much longer and unchallenged.Imagine people like dictators like franco etc live for centries no the earth would be horrible
I think one solution to overpopulation is getting rid of this rediculous, arbitrary concept of "childishness". If people learn to have fun, be themselves and do what feels good, we won't feel the need to live through children.
On great thing which will work perfectly is putting demands on people who want to be parents = less psychopaths, etcetera in society. Better parents, better society and people wll takemore responsebiley.
Well, thats the future, people just won't get old.. people will still die ofc. Car crashes, accidents, wars, starvation.. just most of em won't get old. And the birth rate will adjust to this scenario.
@MetallicThor That's not what my statement means, zero population growth doesnt imply that there is no birth rate, just that the birth and death rates are equal. Our total number stops growing once there are no extra resources left to sustain the growth, regardless of how many of us reproduce. You cant use our conditions right now as a counter example because we arent at that kind of a peak right now.
@MetallicThor No death rate necessitates no birth rate. Population grows expotentially when all resources are in excess, and tapers off when the capacity of the environment for the population is reached. This type of medical care beckons the question: do we want a constant maximum population with hundreds of thousands of people dying every day, or do we want one where very few die? It also beckons the more philosophical question: is reproduction necessary?
In a worse case scenario, a system could be implanted in which in order for one to take the cures or therapies, they would also be sterilized, unable to procreate. But the advancements of renewable, Fusion, Geothermal, and agriculture, ultimately the next step would be space colonization, rotating space cities, terraform of mars, and eventually the paraterraform of the Moon. i believe would be sufficient enough that we won't need the "scenario" describe. Keep in mind Birth Rates are declining.
As for farming, there is plenty and plenty of room for improvement, check out Urban or vertical farming. There are still many challenges to be faced with renewable, vertical and urban farming and many other ideas, but if we can solve the aging crisis, I don't see why we would not be able to solve problems related to the inefficiencies of our use and management of resources.
@MetallicThor Technology related to increasing the carrying capacity while decreasing our impacts of the environment has been and will also continue to evolve. Many problems why we are currently destructive is because of the current inefficiencies related to technology and the system. Fossil fuels as you know are finite and have been destructive to health, Fusion and renewable energy such as solar and geothermal will play a significant role in the future.
It's clear that he has become so focused on his work that he is trying to convince himself that his research is 'the' answer to the social and economical problems he raises, and this I entirely disagree with. "It is more expensive to keep an elderley person alive in their last year of life then the amount of money spent on them in all previous years". There is an alternative answer to that problem.
The truth in the matter is that if we don't have the supporting infrastructure in place before this were2 to happen you would see the current 25,000 people that die each day from starvation vastly increase. Increase to the point where I believe it would pick up the slack so to speak for those living longer. Since, let's be honest, these technologies won't be available to the poor due to cost. So you still have Africa and Asia's populations exploding and no way to feed them.
@imreloadin2 Also just because it would be "economically" important for everyone to receive these treatments because in the long run it would be cheaper doesn't mean it wouldn't create further social stratification. Just because it would be the "common good" doesn't mean such treatments would be immune from the laws of Supply and Demand which would cause the prices of these treatments to skyrocket. Cause let's face it, who doesn't want to live longer? More importantly who wouldn't pay more?
So I had a question and I don't know if this is something unforeseeable but do you think there are any economic, sociological, or psychological consequences to lengthening the spacing between generations? Like @Fly2Azeroth mentioned Einstein might live longer but there is still only one of him. Do you think this decrease in generational throughput poses any problems to ingenuity, progress, and innovation by saddling the world and history with the same set of individuals longer.
it's all well and good as long as you develop ways to feed all these people who are going to be living indefinitely...oh, and house them...and deal with the extra sewage they will create...he mentions that we will eventually only die from the same "rapid" causes that tend to kill young people already...conveniently forgets to mention starving to death in a world filled with our own filth...guess that'd be bad for his investors to hear...
An end to aging would have great economic impacts!
Defeating aging and having the cures/therapies available to the public will allow people to stay as biologically young and healthy as they were during their 20s and 30s. Because much fewer people will be suffering from chronic age related illnesses, stronger immunity against diseases the healthcare costs would plummet.
MOST of the healthcare costs are for treating aging chronic conditions.
Lets face the facts, healthcare costs have been on the RISE MAINLY because of a growing aging population. Most of the healthcare costs result from treating Cryonic old age conditions. We are in the US alone spending well over 2 trillion dollars on healthcare and this costs have been rising, scaling with the growing aging population. If this keeps up, healthcare costs could take up as much as 35% of the total GDP within a few decades.
I translated for an interview with Aubrey back in August. A a very intelligent man indeed. His office is in a pub (probably due to the fact that he enjoys his ale). He has a wife and a mistress living in California (both know and met each other before). After the interview I had a talk with him about my future. I am honoured to have met this man.
Am sorry but I couldn't focus on what you was saying dude because I was too distracted by the length of your beard.. I mean how annoying is it when you try to kiss your girlfriend or wife with you mouth hidden in that forest huh?
Over population is mainly a third world problem. Many dont realize that. Now in the advance industrial worlds ironically Underpopulation is the main problem (its been studied for decades now). People having fewer kids and having kids much later in life (esp. among the middle class). It part of the life style combined with birth control education & easy access to birth control. If the study indicates anything more or less people dont want kids. Probably less if they dont age.
@Shorifio4321 "i hope they invent that kind of things before i get old" - Instead of hoping, why not donate? Are you just going to sit by and let yourself die? Each day that passes you are slowly dying. Are you gonna sit and take it? or are you gonna do something about it?
If we do not find a cure to aging, there will be a massive aging crisis looming in the not so distant future. As of now Healthcare costs have been on the rise. This is caused mainly because of a growing aging population. As one grows old, they depend more and more on medicine and help. Already healthcare costs are costing us over a trillion a year in the United States.
People can pretend all they want that aging is not a problem. But it is.
If aging were cured, healthcare would be much cheeper
My 2 cents: If we are to live for thousands of years, possibly millions, we will eventually experience a period of evolution that will remove the human reproductive system. Thus hampering our ability to re-populate if need be. So by saving our own lives, we will eventually cause the extinction of our species as a whole. I'm no expert on genetics and drift, and there's no proving this, therefore I still advocate Aubrey's research. I will invest in this for sure.
@xshalludiex Evolution doesn't work in this way. Evolution works on a species and not on an individual, people would continue to reproduce regardless of the span of their lives due to instinct. By your logic the use of contraception would eventually lead to the removal of the human ability to reproduce but this is most certainly not the case.
@xshalludiex Even if we did remove our reproductive organs, what makes you think we would be stupid enough to not have an alternative way of reproducing?
@spacecowboy95 As someone pointed out a few weeks ago, my theory was wrong. After a bit of thinking, I've come to the conclusion that he was right. I don't know whether or not the latter organs will go dormant after years and years of underuse, but we surely won't loose them completely.
@xshalludiex We have already regrown new fresh organs in the lab, and within the next 6 months to 2 years is likely for the Kidney growing to be completed.
Even if your 'theory' of organs becoming redundant is true (unlikely), these organs can easily be replaced.
@xshalludiex I couldn't give a fck about the species. I want to survive and I never want to die. No matter what you say or do - IM SURE AS HELL GOING TO WELCOME ANTI AGEING TECHNOLOGY WITH OPEN ARMS.
If you wish to refuse this technology as it becomes available and die, then you are no different from a dumbed down religious person refusing a life saving blood transfusion operation with some excuse "God didnt want us to do it"
@mysql0 But, will you go the extra step to promote the research needed to develop the creation of this technology? Your viewpoint is a very selfish one. Waiting there and hoping isn't going to get us anywhere.

I think one solution to overpopulation is getting rid of this rediculous, arbitrary concept of "childishness". If people learn to have fun, be themselves and do what feels good, we won't feel the need to live through children.

@MetallicThor That's not what my statement means, zero population growth doesnt imply that there is no birth rate, just that the birth and death rates are equal. Our total number stops growing once there are no extra resources left to sustain the growth, regardless of how many of us reproduce. You cant use our conditions right now as a counter example because we arent at that kind of a peak right now.
Decimaster321 3 months ago
@MetallicThor No death rate necessitates no birth rate. Population grows expotentially when all resources are in excess, and tapers off when the capacity of the environment for the population is reached. This type of medical care beckons the question: do we want a constant maximum population with hundreds of thousands of people dying every day, or do we want one where very few die? It also beckons the more philosophical question: is reproduction necessary?
Decimaster321 3 months ago
In a worse case scenario, a system could be implanted in which in order for one to take the cures or therapies, they would also be sterilized, unable to procreate. But the advancements of renewable, Fusion, Geothermal, and agriculture, ultimately the next step would be space colonization, rotating space cities, terraform of mars, and eventually the paraterraform of the Moon. i believe would be sufficient enough that we won't need the "scenario" describe. Keep in mind Birth Rates are declining.

As for farming, there is plenty and plenty of room for improvement, check out Urban or vertical farming. There are still many challenges to be faced with renewable, vertical and urban farming and many other ideas, but if we can solve the aging crisis, I don't see why we would not be able to solve problems related to the inefficiencies of our use and management of resources.
curingaging00 4 months ago
@MetallicThor Technology related to increasing the carrying capacity while decreasing our impacts of the environment has been and will also continue to evolve. Many problems why we are currently destructive is because of the current inefficiencies related to technology and the system. Fossil fuels as you know are finite and have been destructive to health, Fusion and renewable energy such as solar and geothermal will play a significant role in the future.

The truth in the matter is that if we don't have the supporting infrastructure in place before this were2 to happen you would see the current 25,000 people that die each day from starvation vastly increase. Increase to the point where I believe it would pick up the slack so to speak for those living longer. Since, let's be honest, these technologies won't be available to the poor due to cost. So you still have Africa and Asia's populations exploding and no way to feed them.
imreloadin2 4 months ago
@imreloadin2 Also just because it would be "economically" important for everyone to receive these treatments because in the long run it would be cheaper doesn't mean it wouldn't create further social stratification. Just because it would be the "common good" doesn't mean such treatments would be immune from the laws of Supply and Demand which would cause the prices of these treatments to skyrocket. Cause let's face it, who doesn't want to live longer? More importantly who wouldn't pay more?

So I had a question and I don't know if this is something unforeseeable but do you think there are any economic, sociological, or psychological consequences to lengthening the spacing between generations? Like @Fly2Azeroth mentioned Einstein might live longer but there is still only one of him. Do you think this decrease in generational throughput poses any problems to ingenuity, progress, and innovation by saddling the world and history with the same set of individuals longer.

An end to aging would have great economic impacts!
Defeating aging and having the cures/therapies available to the public will allow people to stay as biologically young and healthy as they were during their 20s and 30s. Because much fewer people will be suffering from chronic age related illnesses, stronger immunity against diseases the healthcare costs would plummet.
MOST of the healthcare costs are for treating aging chronic conditions.
curingaging00 4 months ago
Lets face the facts, healthcare costs have been on the RISE MAINLY because of a growing aging population. Most of the healthcare costs result from treating Cryonic old age conditions. We are in the US alone spending well over 2 trillion dollars on healthcare and this costs have been rising, scaling with the growing aging population. If this keeps up, healthcare costs could take up as much as 35% of the total GDP within a few decades.

He has a wife and a mistress living in California (both know and met each other before). After the interview I had a talk with him about my future. I am honoured to have met this man.

Over population is mainly a third world problem. Many dont realize that. Now in the advance industrial worlds ironically Underpopulation is the main problem (its been studied for decades now). People having fewer kids and having kids much later in life (esp. among the middle class). It part of the life style combined with birth control education & easy access to birth control. If the study indicates anything more or less people dont want kids. Probably less if they dont age.

If we do not find a cure to aging, there will be a massive aging crisis looming in the not so distant future. As of now Healthcare costs have been on the rise. This is caused mainly because of a growing aging population. As one grows old, they depend more and more on medicine and help. Already healthcare costs are costing us over a trillion a year in the United States.
People can pretend all they want that aging is not a problem. But it is.
If aging were cured, healthcare would be much cheeper

My 2 cents: If we are to live for thousands of years, possibly millions, we will eventually experience a period of evolution that will remove the human reproductive system. Thus hampering our ability to re-populate if need be. So by saving our own lives, we will eventually cause the extinction of our species as a whole. I'm no expert on genetics and drift, and there's no proving this, therefore I still advocate Aubrey's research. I will invest in this for sure.
xshalludiex 7 months ago
@xshalludiex Evolution doesn't work in this way. Evolution works on a species and not on an individual, people would continue to reproduce regardless of the span of their lives due to instinct. By your logic the use of contraception would eventually lead to the removal of the human ability to reproduce but this is most certainly not the case.

@xshalludiex We have already regrown new fresh organs in the lab, and within the next 6 months to 2 years is likely for the Kidney growing to be completed.
Even if your 'theory' of organs becoming redundant is true (unlikely), these organs can easily be replaced.
