Who Here Believes in Indefinite Life Extension?

Claude will NOT take to this observation very well , trust me

First, you're being a very nice guy. Welcome to the forum.

And I don't mean this personally, only as a response to your idea.

Saying you want to stay away from science forums, because they are too logical.....indicates to me that your ideas (that you shared there) were faulty.

Pick an idea, any idea. If you want to know if your idea is real, find intelligent people to attack it. Force others to give you valid examples, of why your idea won't work. Welcome attacks on your logic.

Why? Because if you seek the truth, that's what you'll end up with.

People here are nice? Yes. But one reason they are nice, is because most don't understand the science. They don't see the hundreds of reasons why extending our life hundreds of years is far more difficult than it sounds.

When you hear discussions about "the ethics of living so long", it's because the person focussed on what they understand. They understand ethics. The actual process of making us live hundreds of years, is ignored..because it isn't understood.

And it isn't understood, because there is no process to make it happen.

It's like discussions on Traveling back in time. most will talk about the ethics of time travel, or "If you kill your grandfather, you won't be born". Why? Because they don't understand how many nearly impossible ideas have to be right, before time travel is even conceivable.


You're here, because some of us love discussing fanciful ideas. If I wanted to know if my idea really had weight, I'd go to the science forums, and have it ripped apart.

After they hack away at the idea, destroying big chunks of it, blasting my logic...offering stronger alternatives....eventually, what you have left, is a beautiful...shining...theory.

In fact I belong to a group of three rational thinkers (One a complete stranger) who's sole reason to exist it to tear apart each other's ideas. The result? Our ideas and viewpoints become sharper, clearer, tested. The problem with being in love with an idea, is that you start defending it. And that's the end of learning.

Right now, you posts sound like you are a very bright young man, who really really wants this idea to be true.


That's a bit of a Red Herring.

There are programs to test designs, by letting the program run, evolving the design to be more efficient. And the resulting "Most efficient design" will be accepted, without knowing the exact reasons it works better.

But those are peripheral to how a rocket works. In simple machines, and chemical compounds (for example) you can accidently find something that works, and reverse engineer it to find the process and causes. And bicycles are extremely simple machines.

The human body isn't simple. And the human brain is the most complex thing we know about. And the brain is where we are.

How do you make the brain, not degrade with time? Many things kill brain calls, and kill the connections they have made, but grow new cells, with the existing patterns intact? If you use stem cells, you would still not replace the patterns made that are memories. You may eventually be able to grow a new brain, genetically identical to the first one, but it would simply be a blank slate....a new person.

And we have that now. They are called children.

Wow you really have drunk the Koolaid if you think the odds are in favor of you never dying.

if thats the come back then you should have followed your own advice.
