Do you lucky motherfuckers realize you're part of the first generation that will live forever?

Advancements in Biotech, Nanotech and Medical Science within the next forty years will make disease and death from old age a thing of the past.

Human lifespans will be measured in centuries if not millenia.

[Anonymous No.1722632]

Indeed.

My 21 years on this planet have been miserable enough. Why would I want to live for hundreds of years?

[Anonymous No.1722639]

Besides, I dont want millions of years of dementia and wheelchairs.

Yeah, and they will also engineer monkeys to fly out of my butt.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Do you have any fucking idea in what way humanity is going to change in the coming century?
Don't you want to see Mars?

>>1722639
Why aren't you out there campaigning for this? If you survive another 20 years you might just make it.
Also, what the shit, why is a 60+ year old on 4chan?

It's just science, subject to revision in light of new evidence (such as me living forever, bitch).

and we'd only have to live in our biological bodies long enough until we can transfer ourselves into our new machine bodies.

A bunch of red rocks and dust storms?

Also, interstellar travel won't be happening.

Mind uploading scares the shit out of me. What AM I if I am not my brain's neurons? The information may be transferred, but the real me may just die. And that scares the living shit out of me.
Not the dying part, but whether or not that would 'kill' me or not.

Er, I'm pretty sure they'd have cured for that kind of thing.

Fuck that. I don't want to live past 50.

I'm pretty sure they'll test mind uploading on prisoners first.

How the fuck will they be able to tell if it's worked or not? The uploaded prisoners would act exactly the same as the human ones coming out of the procedure being all OMG OMG OMG yet they may only be a copy.

Also, sorry to burst your dreams of a Star Trek universe, but the furthest we'll ever get is the Kuiper belt. If that.

imagine if they made an exact copy of yourself, but you were still alive.

and then you, the original died.

would you be still alive?

[Sage !Pz581/NRUw No.1722685]

fuck yeah science.

I can wait for 40 years to live for hundreds. All of you depressed faggots need to liven up and see how awesome this will be.

every 7 years the human body completely generates itself; every 7 years it's a whole new you. does this include the brain? so the me from 7 years ago is dead?

We're terraforming Earth on a low scale with the greenhouse gases being produced form coal, gas, and petrols. Difference is we're fucking up an already nice planet in the other direction.

Also I believe Phobos and perhaps Deimos can be knocked out of orbit into the Martian polar caps and cause a runaway greenhouse effect, bringing up the air pressure and temperature, creating oceans over Mars. Then, just start introducing algae and plants.

>mfw when we survive the upcoming bottleneck, we become powerful trans-humans, and we amangst the vaunted pillars of the heavens great heighliners, riding mighty fonts of photo-leptonic fire, we travel so far an so fast we lose the earth, we outlast the sun.

[Inurdaes !lololSGJBw No.1722719]

>>1722711
Indeed.
If the air pressure is still too low there are two possibilities:
1) In a previous thread an anon suggested that big canisters could be filled at a siphoning station in Venus' atmosphere, and then shot off with a rail gun towards Mars.
2) Or the more reasonable one, is that we get the general mini-nuclear powered robots to chew up dust and belch out smoke.

We seem to be pretty good at making polluting robots as a species.
it should be that hard to do, would it? we'd need a FUCKTON of robots. why can't we just build buildings that do that instead?
