I am attending the funeral of my grandfather the day this post is released, so I scheduled a post last Friday so that there would be something new here this Wednesday.
These are a few videos about how we should, and eventually could, cure aging.
The video above, ‘The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant’, uses a kingdom’s acceptance of a cruel dragon’s reign as an analogy for how humanity accepts the debilitating effects of aging as the natural order of things.
It is based on this story by Nick Bostrom, and adapted to a video format by the youtuber CGP Grey.
The above video ‘Why die?’ was also made by CGP Grey.
Grey is one of my favorite youtubers and podcasters, and I have previously mentioned him here and here.
The two videos made by CGP Grey is making a case for why we should try to end aging, but the above video from Kurzgesagt provides some examples of how this could be done.
Getting old is not a bad thing in itself, but there are many physical and mental issues linked with aging that we would be far better off without.
And the more time we waste before we start giving these issues the attention they deserve, the more people will lose their chance to reap the benefits.
I’m sorry for your loss, SindrElf.
Thank you 🙂
I’m very sorry for your loss.Love and hugs on your way.
Thanks 🙂
Condolences on the loss of your grandfather Sindre.
Thank you 🙂
Deepest condolences SindrElf. This is a very interesting and thought provoking post. There are many medical and health related innovations coming to the fore now, and some suggest there are possibilities for ‘youthing’ on the brink…. how awesome would that be!
Thanks 🙂
It would be really awesome, and the sooner the better 😀
Sorry for the late reply.
Your comment was in the spam folder along with 38 comments which just asked “What?” 😛
You getting those too ?!
Yeaahhh :/
I may have been fooled aswell, if there had been just one of them :p
They seem to come in all at once. I’ve had them several times – lots all at once. What is that?!
I think the name of “the commenter” is a website address, so I think they are hoping you will check it out.
Maybe give you a virus or something.
Who knows :S
I just delete the lot
Same 😀
