"The first person to live to [200, 300, 500, 1000] has already been born"

They found the cure for old age and could live forever if they didn't get fucked up by something. They naturally became very risk averse and wouldn't hardly come out of their house out of fear of a fatal accident.

Quote:On their new home-world the Brunnen-G thrived, developing ever more impressive technologies until they discovered a cure for death itself, granting their entire race immortality. This breakthrough proved to be a curse however, as their people descended into acute paranoia, erecting a powerful energy shield around their world and living in constant fear of death, hiding in their homes and building elaborate protective structures underground.

Still better than dying.


Hell, probably even a billion billion years of Christian Hell would be better than dying. If you die, nothing matters. That's pretty much the gist of it. If your kids die, nothing matters to them either. If their kids die, same thing, and so on. Up until we can stop death, our race is a failed race. We might as well be a bunch of rocks.
