Do humans really need to live forever? Is death really a bad thing or is it super necessary? Are the health advancements we are making not needed after a point? Just a short while ago, a tweet has gone viral recalling a comment from a 2022 interview with Elon Musk that has found new sort of relevance in ongoing tech advancements in life extension and longevity.
The post says that Musk's comments are not a rejection of medical progress but actually a pragmatic view on how society evolves and why there is value in generational renewal. The main point of this is the idea that extending human life too far could stall societal development by sticking cultures and leadership in rigid beliefs that resist change. So, now these ideas have got a huge back and forth started on social media as advances in biotech and anti ageing science make once theoretical questions about longevity more tangible.
