What's /x/'s opinion on immortality? Do you think will it ever be achievable? Or is a way already discovered but kept as a secret?
>>
>>17995291
>already discovered but kept as a secret

I have some investments and work close with Dmitry Itskov, the founder of project 2045. This is his life mission; if it existed, he wouldn't be pouring millions into this.

I however disagree with his route of achieving immortality. I don't believe uploading your consciousness into an electronic device is the way we will accomplish this. Nano computers implanted into tissue will aid and repair the body as it ages and decays.
>>
Its all about genetics. Not nanites.

Preventing telomere shortening. Improving DNA repair mechanisms. Chromatin dynamics, Controlling hetero-chromatin availability.

There are jellyfish species which are immortal. they cycle through their life cycle ad infinitum. starting as larva entering a growth phase when resources are favorable and then reaching reproductive maturity.
Once it has reproduced it reverts to the larval stage and continues.

Imagine if, once people reached middle age, around the time women reach menopause, that a genetic switch was flipped. their bodies reverted to a state like the beginning of puberty.

elevated epithelial cell turnover, scar tissue degrades and is replaced with normal tissue. fat is burned off rapidly. Gaining muscle becomes easy again.

One of the main issues is getting the brain to survive for m,ore than a standard lifetime

If immortality is discovered, or invented, or whatever, I'll kill myself before I allow that curse to be imposed on me. I see no good that can come from immortality.

Immortality an invulnerability are not synonymous. You could always get immortality and then if you decided after 100 years or so that you dont like it just buy a gun shoot yourself.

Personally, eternal youth is my life goal. I see my family getting older, remembering my parents when they were young and beautiful, and I don't want to be that way. My grandfather hates his birthday, he hates that he's getting one step closer to death, and that his body becomes more frail each passing day.

I don't want to live that curse.

I personally love life and I can't imagine this getting boring one day. I just want to go on forever, vaporize some dank sativa-dominant hybrid, play a vidya or make love with my woman, eat a good meal and drive a fast car around. If you wish to die, that's your thing, but I want to live. Life is amazing.
>>
I know nothing about cellular biology, but with my limited understanding, I'd guess that in order to become immortal, our safest bet is to find a way to completely halt cellular degradation, thus, preventing aging, then, find a way to invent means for cells to restore themselves, maybe? So as to stop aging, but also prevent overall wearing down of the body.
>>
>>17995291
as a biochemist

1) Aging is related to the damage and lenght of telomeres.
>>17995600
is right
this is the immortal jellyfish
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turritopsis_dohrnii

Also cancer cells are immortal, check HELA cells.

2) If we could manage to control the aging and damage of telomeres, and express self repair mechanism then sure we could easily live to +200 years.

HOWEVER
there are severe problems on that:
1) although we know what we could fix, we dont know how to improve it since this science has the following problems
a) Human experimentation has severe ethic problems and blockages
b) Due to this western cucks would never allow this to happen, there is a lot of legal locks that exist or will be created to avoid transhumanism (as if rich people care of laws tho)

2) We know SHIT about the brain, so we could still experiment some degenerative sickness or madness on the way
>>
>>17995852
Trust me, it gets tedious quick. Even sex.

Not to mention the dystopic future already under way... good luck using your vaporizer when there's a full automated in-home police presence, human-piloted cars will be gone in 20 years... the future looks to be the opposite of natural and pleasant.

So I still don't understand. But thanks for trying.
>>
>>17995291
>Or is a way already discovered but kept as a secret?

Only if it happens like in Highlander (people are born this way and keep it a secret), but you should know... that's highly unlikely.
And why I say that?
Well, do you really think immortality would have been achieved when we don't have cures for AIDS, cancer, alzheimer's, parkinson's etc. (and the list is huge)?
The knowledge necessary to make one immortal would go beyond the knowledge needed to cure all of this shit.
>>
>>17995291
Humans are physically and mentally too weak to achieve immortality. Nature rewards the strong.
>>
>>17995852
If humans were to be immortal, do you have any idea how many years a human would have to work in his life? Sure, even a person who drops out of high-school and ends up becoming a failure has millenia of time to become an absolute genius, but so does everyone else. Humanity would become too large and life would become boring after a few hundred, thousand or tens of thousands of years even for people who love life like crazy. At one point in evolution, it wouldn't make sense to go on living anymore and people would eventually revert to suicide.

And to survive with an immortal species, we'd have to constantly evolve on a technological scale, inhabiting other planets and managing billions and eventually trillions of human beings, managing criminals who will eventually be left out and can revert to their criminal doing, because spending ten or twenty of years in prison is no biggy, but of course it would inhumane to keep them locked up for millenia. It would be hard.

The government makes more money off you buying meds for your whole life than they do a one time cure.
Also, if those curse were released they would be so expensive the average person would not be able to afford it, and everyone would be screaming 'you should cure us for free, you can!"
And that's just not how they play ball.
>>
>>17996025
You raise a nice point.
Nowadays we're in such a comfort zone the only thing that keeps evolution from stopping is our mortality and desire to achieve something within our too often short lives.
People would revert to suicide for sure.

Dude, if you're going to be a conspiracy theorist, at least be a good one at that.
The government has nothing but expenses when treating sick people.

The ones who make money off lifetime treatment are the big farma bosses.

Why should I trust you if my neural network is different from yours? What applies to you is not universal, I love life and enjoy even things I assume you would call mundane, and I enjoy them every day. The experience of living is amazing and I am grateful for what I have. In the words of a classic, dying means the party is going on but you have to leave.

Also cannabis is gaining worldwide acceptance very fast, it's not just woah duuuude anymore.

>>17996025
Okay, if somebody reverts to suicide, that's his choice. He didn't have to experience excrutiating pain at 60 from metastasized malignant neoplasm, that person made a conscious choice.

I read up somewhere that with biological immortality an individual would live up to 3200 years on average due to deadly accidents. That's not so bad considering the europeans are slowly dying (average female fertility is 1,2 - 1,4).

Immortality means you have to care about the Earth because your stay is not just a few decades. Merchants of doubt and scandals such as lead industry wouldn't be as much of a thing as it is now I think.

I'd rather have my consciousness uploaded into a computer - that would compute at the speed of light, much faster than the way our brains computer - unbound by organic limitations.

Will actually give you more time to do stuff and to have experiences than the experience in organic body already gives... let's say same amount of data would be computed much faster living in a much narrow present than we experience now.

Imagine moving that uploaded consciousness - to a computer that gravitates a red dwarf star, literal trillions of years of existence where every real second is rich in experiences and fulfilling activities.

Worm holes are predicted and actually exist at small scale - when the universe inflated it's hypothesized that every worm hole that existed at that point received macro scale - if one of them still exists today, we would be able to travel trough it back in time - gaining obviously more time.
>>
>>17995857
It's cheaper, easier and faster - to just let go of the body and life as consciousness on computer hardware. From that point on continue your biology research in that form and eventually build new hybrid bodies that have most of the problems solved and transfer consciousness back into them.
>>
>>17995291
That depends. What kind?
>>
>>17996025
Life already doesn't have a point - actually biologically there is one, to actually exist and build on complexity - assure new copies and that's it.

Literally you have to build your own purpose, don't fall for "the higher purpose" meme, there's none - we're a cosmic accident.

Immortality is already within us all. It's just a matter of learning what humans really are in this world. But death is a blessing my friend, imagine watching everyone you've ever loved or known growing old and dying in what would soon become the blink of an eye for you. All the war, death, famine, plague that you would experience the human race don't live eternally because we are too vend on destroying and that would make eternity hell
>>
>>17995291
It might be achieveable, but doubtfully in our lifetime. The obvious routes are biological or technological. Biological would require advanced altering with human DNA, to the point where our immortal offspring might be considered a new species altogether. Technological would be either mind 'uploading' or life support technology advanced enough to reverse or circumvent the effects of aging.

I think that assuming humanity doesn't go extinct, either one or both of these outcomes is inevitable. As soon as some company thinks it might be viable there will be overwhelming pressure to complete it.

It is interesting to imagine how society would change when immortality universally available. For starters people would be forced to think in longer terms. Issues like pollution or overpopulation will become paramount for people who plan to live centuries or even millenium. Personal safety and protection will also become extremely important (consider the minute risk of dying in airplane trip, an immortal would rather walk since even a .01% risk becomes certain if multiplied over an infinite lifetime, whereas travel time is irrelevant)

Futurists will appear. People who spend long periods of time asleep (or paused), awakening for a few years at a time to see how culture and technology have advanced.

The very nature of family will be irreversibly changed, the age difference between parent and child will become miniscule as the centuries roll by. The rate of divorce will likely increase, as most loves will not endure eternity.

I never understand these people that think they can upload their minds to a computer. At best, you will be able to create a copy of yourself on a computer.

>>
>>17997607
why hasn't there been scientific experiments conducted on the subjective nature of death?

just get a couple of willing participants, stop their heart and wait till they are dead, then revive them.

use that mind reading technology they use to make movies of your thoughts and record what they experience and compare it to interviews conducted on them when they come back to life.

If there is an after life there has to be a way to test for it.

I can't tell you what happens if you die of old age.

But I've been in a 60 mph head on car crash with no seatbelt, jumped off of a bridge, and overdosed on hundreds of Coricidin.

Every single time, time slows down to a near stand still, goes back to normal and then I'm alright.

The world is almost exactly the same as it was, except there are little changes that are slightly off, most of the time you're not aware of it and just shrug it off to misremembering.

>>17996168

>At best, you will be able to create a copy of yourself on a computer.

then that means you won't be experiencing anything that copy experiences, right? So I don't see what the point would be

>>
>>17997634
Exactly, you will die and your copy will live on. It seems pointless to focus resources into that method when it ultimately a pipe dream. Biological research is what will give us true immortality.
>>
The final and ultimate version (paradigm) of reality is super jail.

There may be many people with good intentions seeking to prevent it from happening, but it will happen.

You will live forever.
You will not be allowed to die.

They will see and know where you are and what you are thinking at all times.

They will have control and powers that are literally beyond your comprehension.

They will have networked control of every machine you depend on for your life. They will have nanomachines in the air and food that fill you with technology more comparable to magic than science.

Everyone will live in fear of each other.

Couple this with humanities base nature of savagery and depravity and you can imagine how fun the future will be.

Now hear this, by the time our masters work is done, ever living thing will have the status of a machine, there will be no creativity, only productivity, hope will cease to exist as a concept. We will replace contact with isolation and joy with shame. We will cover the world in steel and in concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head, every cell phone, every car, everywhere. This world will be a factory farm producing morons to fuel and maintain the factory engines and feed our masters. Just look around you, the process is already in the final stages.
>>
>>17997637

true we all do have the choice to some degree. It's just that while we're making up our minds about it, time keeps on churning and if you don't make up your mind soon enough, time will do it for you. I'd like the final say, but then again I'm an indecisive person kek
>>
>>17997656
If you're going to be that pessimistic why assume people will be kept around at all?

If electronic policemen can be made why not electronic farmers and miners too? Why have a workforce when you could copy the most productive worker and use them as a template for an entire industry. One mind going through the same work day in a million different bodies. Rather than pay or retirement you could just reset the mind patterns every day.

Thats the true danger of this technology, it creates the possibility for a new kind of evil. Mind Crime.

>>17995818
I think this is more a matter of preference and perspective. I think the idea is desirable because I don't like the idea of not existing anymore. Some people don't like the idea of not having enough time to do all the things they want to do. Some people fear death and what might come better. My question to you, what is the appeal of dying?

You are thinking linearly.

Technology would have to advance exponentially for humans to be immortal. If it were achieved, most likely pure automation would be achieved in the process.

Therefore no one would have to work and in fact machines could do any job a human could do cheaper and better.

So the question you should be asking is how economics will be in the future when no one can work because the machines are all doing the jobs better and cheaper.

Such AI might give us immortality or put us all in camps and let us die out or gas us depending.

nanobots replace your neurons functionality, transfers your mind onto a new medium

nanobots can heal themselves

nanobots process data much faster than biological neurons, making 1 second seem like an eternity

nanobots store enough redundant information within them that even a bullet to the head can be recovered from, look up data redundancy schemes

even if all are destroyed at one time, who is to say they can't continuously upload to the cloud and be restored at any time by people in control

nanobots are being researched at every university around the world, not to mention what the military's of the world have already created

this technology will be available, probably in our lifetime

I hope we successfully design super-intelligences that either keep us as a zoo planet while they convert all matter in the universe into computational substrates or exterminate us and repurpose the matter on our planet as part of their computational substrates.

The only immortality would be creating a super-intelligence that exists without any of the frailty of humanity. Realistically only super-intelligences on a galactic scale have a chance of existing until either some universe spanning event or the heat-death of the universe.

Bodily immortality? Already attained, I reckon.

Ya know, we are closer to immortality than most of you think. In like 100 years or less humans will develop drives with capacity of human brain. In that way we will be able to transfer our memories into a new body. However the old body will be still there and it will be way to make an immortal copy of self (Basically good for humanity, bad for you). The actual immortality is far away from us, as printing of human organs is still a fresh method, so to print yourself new heart, stomach, or even body (and then transfer your brain into it) You will have to wait 200-300 years

Science has already been working on it for a while, and it is possible in a sense. Telomeres are rods in our bodies that control the rate that we age at. While it can be said that they weaken over time, they weaken the most when we feel negative feelings that take a toll on the body. You know, fear, stress, depression, hatred, that stuff. Scientist are working on a drug that can repair telomeres and restore them to a younger state. Last time I checked, they were able to have a old grey haired rat to start growing younger black hair. Its overall health also regressed to a younger state. So if its possible to cause a rat to become younger physically, it could be possible to cause the same effect in humans eventually.

Immortality would only become publically available after the population has been adequately controlled. That being said, if there are no major global events that remove billions of humans from the planet, the method of achieving immortality will stay under wraps for only the wealthiest and most powerful organizations to use for possibly centuries.This is ideal as the technology that drives the immortality will have many decades to be improved and supplemented by other technologies before a public release would be appropriate. Even then, there may never be a public release if the elite decide to move humanity into a far more controlled and interconnected existence. Too bad that humanity's hubris will likely destroy this future in the decades to come. I can only dream of a time that the whole of humanity comprises of a relatively small hiveminded elite. Only then can I see our species begin to do things that are meaningful on a cosmic scale.

Uploading your brain to a computer = hell.

Why?

Because sooner or later somebody's gonna decide how you should be allowed to exist. Suicide will be illegal. Your thought patterns will be regulated.

You will be a slave forever.

Great way of torturing someone, very clever and kinda awesome.
In reality though, this will take a while. See:

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

To tell you the truth were all immortal but sadly our bodies die but we still live but keeping your body it is achieveable but I need to learn more on how to keep all my memories or else it would be pointless

Immortality would violate the second law of thermodynamics.

It cannot exist in this Universe.

Perhaps that anon is referring to entropy?

How's that related to immortality not being achieved?
That's my question...
Is it because of the end of the universe?

Simple single cell organisms are immortal.

As soon as an organism because multi-cell, it faces a biological lifespan, even still on cellular level.

Evolution payed the price of you dying eventually for your organism to be this complex.

first theyll take away death from you
then youre ability to sleep and dream
then youre ability to poo and pee
then your ability to reproduce
and finally theyll take away your ability to eat even

>Trust me, it gets tedious quick. Even sex.

This. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING get's boring after a while. We would need psychotropic drugs to create artificial "happiness" after we became bored with life.

They say marijuana is a gateway drug... well, life itself is a gateway drug.

I just want to see how the world changes as time goes on

What governments will rise or fall, what technology will be built, what slang people are going to use decades or even centuries from now, if any, what first contact with other sapient beings will be like, and so on

I'm probably too optimistic about the world's future, but I just want to see what comes next

This desu, even if you never aged you'd eventually turn into a giant ball of cancer due to backround radiation damaging your cells.

The world is literally super jail right now and has been since the dawn of civilized society.

The only thing missing is magical powers but science will be providing those very soon.

Physical immortality just doesn't work. You're going to die eventually no matter what you do.

Matter can not be created nor destroyed.

I believe that applies to consciousness as well, stop being a retard

i think actual physical immortality is achievable, but i think after a while it may become undesirable, as one may wonder, "what if..."? and be satiated.

Immortality in the human vessel is not worth. It would mean you would stay entrapped inside the human body forever until the earth decays which would suck. And in our current times, nobody would want to be a human unless wealthy
