Time to start our meme contest! The theme is Objections to Life Extension.
Ever talked to someone about longevity and faced ridiculous “overpopulation” claims? Maybe they came up with a different [original] reason or excuse why helping people live longer is a bad idea? Yes, it’s paradoxical—one needs to persuade that being alive is better than being dead. Memes are the most eloquent answer to this absurdity.
Common objections for your memes:
• Overpopulation will be a problem
• Life will be boring
• Better a short, full life than a long, miserable one
• Only healthspan matters
• Immortal dictators!
• Death is natural
• Evolution will stop
• Aging is impossible to defeat
• Infinity is unachievable
• Avoiding death is selfish
• Death gives life meaning
• I’m curious about the afterlife
• We’ll be stuck with old ideas forever
