Human beings have virtually no value if they are just machines

We still remember figures of history centuries after they died, because they changed the world. That's the kind of immortality that is proven to exist. Not the kind where you die, and your spirit (which we can't prove exists) lives in the clouds with a god that we can't prove exists. Stop wasting time trying to become immortal in a way that has no impact on the world, and become immortal in a way that does.

That's a really good point.

...we should care now because now is all we have.


How would the guarantee of eternal life make us any less special in the moment?
