Sucks to have to die before immortality is figured out but not as bad as all those people who have to die RIGHT before it is figured out. I feel like that is worse. Or to be in the generation where cells aging has been canceled medically but to still have a tree fall on you or something and die that way
Haha imagine being tortured forever by an immortal jewish vampire [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Good thing we'll both be dead before then!

through the silliness of probability, it's more likely you're already immortal and we're in a simulation than the way less probability you're in base reality and going to die right before immortality comes out

if it's a certainty immortality is achievable at all then it's the same argument as simulation theory

really really fucks with people like Physicist S. James Gates, Jr.



Roko's Basilisk is the one that makes AI scientists have mental breaks.

There's a similar argument to be made using entropy calculations that at any given second, it's actually more likely that the universe randomly arranged itself to create us and our memories of the past out of the swirling chaos than that what we remember actually happened.

That reminds me of Feyman’s many paths but on a larger scale.

There was thing going around where apparently if you shoot a certain type of laser on a wall whilst on DMT you see matrix-like code going by. Guy has a project going on having a bunch of people independently to verify it. Kinda neat but simulation theory also feels like a secular version of religious escapism. Why I'm a big fan of nihilism to occam's razor all that shit into it does not fucking matter.
