I really really couldn't disagree with Elon more….
""I don't think we should try to have people live for a really long time. That'd cause asphyxiation of society because the truth is, most people don't change their mind. They just die. So if they don't die, we will be stuck with old ideas and society wouldn't advance." — "
What an exhibit of no faith in humanity whatsoever. And I like(d) Elon.
>I disagree
>its a direct shot at the woke elites who want to transhumanize themselves into eternal life
Interesting. I didn't take it that way. As a sidebar, I don't know about 'forever', but I have less of a problem with extending life beyond "normal" assuming there is quality of life to be had with it - first and foremost of that would be mental faculties (which I'll assume is possible).
As for the the evils of transhumanism, I think it is wildly satanic ''if'' someone is trying to control it - either via access or route. The example that comes to mind is a Microsoft version of transhumanistic life.
However, I conversely think an opensource path (analogous to Linux) is not Luciferian. In thinking it through a bit, the defining trait that qualifies for evil in this case is centralized control.
Just thinking out loud.

*Fuck, this has been fascinating. Thanks for the responses…good thinking stuff.
>I see nothing wrong with Elons comments here
I think we should live forever via open source bio hacks that keep us fit, sane and mentally competent.
I think it is His will as he enables us to think like that….
>asphyxiation.
>anything to that choice of words.
Agreed…melodrama….
society evolves. wisdom stands the test of time.
>open source transhumanism is still trans
>to seek to use external means to break the natural cycle of life and death is quite luciferian, by definition
I like your argument. I will noodle on that.
OK …but what about conventional medicine…antibiotics, cancer treatments, Ivermectin…defribilators…pacemakers…?
> the Constitution.
Isn't that like the asphyxiating plastc bag in the analogy…?
Good ideas / Wisdom stands the test of time…thus, good ideas will win and continue to win regardless of stale old people, no…? (or something like that)
nice job bakes!
