it's amazing we're actually born at a point in history where we can not only scientifically think of immortality, but hope for it to be possible in our lifetimes
@CobaltVelvet imagine our world... but with older white men. Still in control of everything, but older. Can’t ever die.
Everyone else has to because it’s so expensive. Just they can live forever, and get forever richer.
@wxcafe they like already 100% do this
corporations don't die they already have fully redundant humans it wouldn't help them, and they couldn't possibly get *even more* greedy with time
@CobaltVelvet ye but having the exact same humans in govt would make the situation worse
@wxcafe maybe people would more easily associate people with the evil they do than political parties that can regularly change faces
@wxcafe point is it's either better or the same
@CobaltVelvet I think it can be much worse, but hey
@wxcafe yeah i'm not convinced
@CobaltVelvet @wxcafe watch altered carbon for a sneak preview of how a society like that would look like
@CobaltVelvet rebel rebel ;)
@CobaltVelvet @wxcafe
When we say that some people will never have enough, I don't think you're getting just quite how much never that is.
