This and anti aging tech is terrifying to me. We have too many old people grasping onto wealth and power as it is. Do not enable them to do it for longer please.

The longer it goes on, the more likely it is that the youngers will radicalize and violently shake the buff geriatrics from the money tree.

How are you supposed to fight a combination of old man and roided mouse strength?!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

like any other "improvement promise" news, i take it with a bucket of salt, not just grain anymore.

i believe it when it's already common usage/application.

They ain't anti-guillotine

Cleo Abrams did a good video on that and her conclusion is that if the stuff does work it's not some magic reversal or absolute no aging ever technology, I think we've got a whole world away before we can get no aging. Adding a few years to someone's life or more realistically preventing diseases due to faulty organs is something we can all benefit from. I don't even know if this stuff will be done during my lifetime but I can hope that the next generation won't have to watch themselves break down slowly.

You're advocating for death. And people are cheering. This is literally what Hitler did.

Are you equating capitalist billionaires destroying the planet and civilization with millions of innocent Jews lol

something tells me they don't have the same luxuries. Billionaries can fly off to the moon if they want, and hopefully not come back. Jews had to eat rats to survive, so maybe not the same thing.

It's natural. You're confusing it with murder.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Not at all. Hitler never killed anyone as far as we know. He just strongly suggested certain people shouldn't be allowed to live.

Do it long enough and loud enough, and suggestible people will start with the murdering sooner or later.

So you also equate French nobility with nazi victims?

Nobody is being called out for their race or sexual preferences or body they were given at birth. The people being targeted here are defined only as the ones who have plundered the world to fill their pockets regardless of the cost. It is the very act of power hungry and despotic rule that leads to this call. Remember that every family member and friend we lose to the meat grinder could have lived happily if not for the ones who deem us unworthy of human treatment. Every home burnt to the ground as the fires worsen, because they refuse to let environmental care affect their overflowing coffers.

How many more people should die and suffer for their wont?

This is not a comparable situation, you silly person.

Can't wait for my friends and family to fall into the meatgrinder of ideologicaly fueled civil war. Or even die of old age, because some regressivists lobby for a ban on medical research again.
