If you’re alive in 30 years, it’s likely you will be alive

something being possible doesn't mean probable. It's unknown and not something we can predict.

>>9056252
i think it is extremely unlikely any humans will be around in 1000 years
things will get worse and keep getting worse
we lack the biological complexity to rebound.
its the end and thats the truth that comes along with ecological literacy

>>9056289
Our biggest ecological hazards right now are due to developing nations and we're tackling these nonetheless.

There's no guaranteeing such a technology will be made a public service. It's very possible that it's true for rich people though.

>are do to developing nations
WRONG
they are due to devolping "nations" being systematically destoryed and pillaged for resources and labor(aka capital) by developed nations. you have state actors and international finance pushing market liberalization so the land and coastal waters can be opened up to economic colonialism by international corporations, which are in principle totalitarian entities unaccountable to the public and only required to fulfill one obligation, bring profit to the shareholders. The problems are not getting better, they are getting exponentially worse and will continue to do so.
People in "developing nations"are losing everything they have and so are you. this will really sink in as we run out of earth to "develop"

Popsci is for people who gave up religion and want science to pick up the slack.

And maybe it will, but not this soon.

I know it's click bait I just want to believe... I'd be so interesting if we could live that long. But I know nothing of biology (physicist)

That is all

The idea kinda scares me honestly, think of everything which would have to change around this, not sure we would ever manage to adapt around it in time to avoid a major crisis.

>>9057686
You mean you don't wake up every morning with an insatiable urge to die halted only by your immeasurable cowardice?

this is the general premise of a weird alternate reality ive envisioned, where people live forever (assuming they take care of themselves from a nutritional standpoint), but have to choose when they die by ultimately committing suicide. Basically, the world is so perfect and the knowledge of healthcare is so advanced that the only way to leave life is to kill yourself. But it is up to you to decide when to.
