It's a fixable problem. Overpopulation should not stop us from living longer and happier lives. Plus, if we start to get overpopulated we need to start thinking about not having as many kids and terraforming the moon for example.

So, we just ignore new technologies because we may run into roadblocks...No. That's small minded, we need to fix our problems, and I'm pretty confident once the old generations die off we can start to make some real progress instead of regressing.

So you advocate short lives and death over solving the problem of overpopulation? you really are small minded. Especially since that's not the only "viable" solution for population growth.

Seems like theists have a problem with living forever, it's the only way you can actually live forever, because there's no fucking afterlife. I just find it contradictory and ironic that people like you believe in religion for the reward of an eternity. But when we find an actual solution to death, people like you shut it down in favor of antiquated notions of the human condition. I mean, you'd be the guy back in the day protesting cars because it would put horse and buggy's out of business. It's time to move forward, not backwards. All you're doing is focusing on one problem instead of coming up with a better solution other than, we just need to die. No, we fucking don't.

I guess you missed that part about technologies becomming more availabe the cheaper the materials and the beter the technology becomes. I mean the guy at McDonalds can afford a smart phone now, where as they couldn't years ago. You're right that rich people would have the first go at it, but poor people will get their hands on this stuff as well.

They're not my future prospects, they're everybody's. And I bet you, you will be using them as well, guaranteed, including living as long as you possibly can. When they say living forever, that doesn't necessarily mean you will live until the end of the universe. I'm sorry but, your objections to future technology makes you sound like an old man.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
