Just to be clear, if we were to find solutions to the problems that would inevitably arise because of this new technology, you would like to use it too?

Probably not, and most definitely not if it means sterilization. So I guess I'm second class by default, as are those like me. I already have kids as well. Wouldn't want to try and cheat the system and get castrated or executed, now would I?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I said if we were to solve any problems you might have with it.

Again, probably not. Couldn't say what I might think when I'm 80.

I don't place a high value on an eternal life, for starters. Secondly, I've simply come to terms with my mortality, and I'd reached those terms far in advance of our conversation. I appreciate change, I appreciate generation, particularly in what it means for humanity. That some ideas or cultures can simply reach a terminus as the last of it's adherents cease to exist. That we are not forever chained to the tyranny or hegemony of the past. That we do not have to do the unthinkable in order to achieve the necessary. I value these things more than I would value my own immortal life, and immortal lives effect these things.

Ok, you're old.
I tried to go the long route with you. It didn't work. RE: "The first person to live to [200, 300, 500, 1000] has already been born"

Not -that- old..........lol?

You can't even have a hypothetical discussion with me without accusing me of all sorts of heinous things. And the genuinely provocative things I said were so ridiculous as to be taken in jest. You have no idea how thoughts experiments work or even what they are, apparently, and you've lost touch with reality on a lot of things. You have a lot of preconceived notions that are pretty much impossible to de-program from your head and thus it's unlikely to reach any consensus with you on any of these topics unless I deliberately dumb myself down and tell you what you wanted to hear before the conversation even started.
I'll stop right now. Have a nice life. |
