RE: The Question Is Not Why People Have Anxiety, But Rather Why Not More People Are Paralyzed By It
Very true my friend. I suppose immortality could be something not to wish for? I haven't quite made up my mind about that yet..I think that we will be immortal (if we choose to, or have enough money) in the future. It wouldn't be "that complicated"..extract your brain into a supercomputer and live in VR for the rest of eternity? Or download your brain into a USB and plug it into any cyborg of your choosing. Or more likely..not immortality, but very prolonged life. What are they saying? That 160-180 years is very possible in the near future with drugs, knowledge about food and exercise, genetic screening etc. But after 160-180 years..difficult. I'm very excited about research on telomers.
But as you say..wouldn't eternal life just make us lazy and postpone everything? Thus making us anxious? Perhaps we cannot enjoy life or be fully human unless we also have death hanging over us..:)
Oh, and thank you so much for nice words and upvote and resteem!: Appreciate it!
