Morals of mortality
thing about m&m’s is that you can eat them, chew them and spit them out or do what the fuck you like to them, it just doesn’t matter.
Same applies if you are immortal.
- does it change anything when the disease of old age is cured?
Oh the thought of being immortal. Sure it would change things, possibly not for the good. Our egos are not mature enough for that.
Certainly.
The population becomes entirely and only those who are chosen.
… and it is already happening.

I agree we are not mature enough as a species yet.

I expect ‘they’ are already planning the oligarchy, and how to get rid of those superfluous to requirements. their main problem [those who get to live] for me will be like; how any episodes of the Simpsons can you watch! nothing ever grows or ages and eventually the plot thins to mediocrity. they could still get killed and so would have to get rid of all dangers probably resulting in massive paranoia etc.
personally I think everything is pulled apart only to be rearranged in a different manner, thus death is part of the creation process.
My only issue with it all is that it isn’t really that much of a “different manner”. The world is merely being remolded into what is essentially merely a larger form of the same old tyranny as long ago. The new statue of Man is merely a bigger one than the prior, not any better.
Free energy, free education, eternal life. I think some aliens can manage that kind of thing, but humans really can’t. It would have already happened in all 3 forms if humanity was wiser. But what will make us genetically better? So far, nothing. So the human species is not making progress.
As explained here, although it is true that humans tend in a direction, they only end up there because someone presumed that they were going to and ensured it. So the issue isn’t really what humans as a species can do, but merely what they have trapped themselves into doing. It actually has nothing at all to do with genetics.
You can believe that if you like. There are a lot of people that consider human nature as genetic. I’m not saying it is 100% genetic. But I’m thinking it is over 50% genetic.

If universes collapse–wink out with a ‘bang’–does another, new, universe appear? If so, where, in some sort of different dimension? Thread has to pass through the eye of a needle before it can be ‘transformed’ into something usable, doesn’t it?
If our universe–our ‘cosmos’–winked into being with a bang, was that the result of the collapse of a universe that simply didn’t work or was it the result of something different about which nothing can be known?
Taken way down to the minute speck we call earth, within the colossus that we call our universe, wherein we may or may not be the only sentient things, can we know–or KNOW–anything, really, about mortality?
