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

It's just a matter of time? What does that mean, like a million years? A billion? This is vague, and fatalistic. It's "a matter of time" particularly if we don't develop this technology. Why bother with anything at all? We all die in the end, right?
