>"It is only when man has transcended the possibility of his own death that harmony of the social world may be achieved, that the civil conflict at the heart of society may be resolved. Immortality is the means to this utopia, rather than its end, and may only be achieved in and through the perfection of self-understanding. Or: immortality comes about when the civil war of the self has finally ceased."
>"Only when I have truly come to know myself, only when I have truly come to live “well”—only then will I have transcended myself, only then will I have escaped the inevitability of death."

is he right, bros? can self-understanding lead to immortality?
