But, what if I feel dead inside already? Because of all the hurt and trauma I've endured? There are literally thousands if not millions of people that feel the same way I do. I'm practically a damn zombie and basically emotionless, completely numb anyways. Wouldn't it be better to focus on helping the already living 'live'? Instead of promoting immortality? We can't even cure basic problems of humanity (i.e. hunger,disease,famine,poverty etc..) And, you wanna try to defy death? Tsk tsk..This reminds me of those "defying" gravity theories. Cuz, that's just what it is, and that's all it ever will be. Not trying to be mean, or crush anyone's dream but c'mon. The odds of this happening is less than creating an actual 'Jurassic Park'..
Ok but the host is hot though 😍
Next up: people with enormous egos trying to feed their egos to a machine.
Couldn't we save/store individual dna until space travel evolves
Fearing death is natural and up until now, was a required evolutionary trait for a success species on earth.
if you want to cry this is the opportunity, watching so called intelligent people saying if digital immortality happens I hope it takes place in my lifetime so I can take advantage of it. First of all which 'I' would that be? And what form of immortality are we talking about? The one that ends when you pull the plug? Long live the Butlerian Jihad!
“Gold” is only valuable because it is scarce. Having infinite “gold” makes it worthless.
I'm the only one who is from 2018 going to be in heaven lol😂😂▶
And if the human race had not aborted several hundred million people maybe we'd be there now!
Then they could work on creating a new planet to live on, and a new universe to live in, with galaxies, and star clusters, and infinity. And someday someone will speculate on where it all came from, and they'll conclude that it came about by chance.
Transhumanists are delusional devil inspired people trying to play GOD, there is no escaping death and the hearafter
any tech video that takes sophia the robot seriously is an immediate dud
Say, you can make a large storage of virtual consciousness. What if if one day a comet hit the earth, or the sun stops burning. Eventually everything ends.
No avoidance of it.
And this is how the Borg started lol
So sad all they need is God and they would have everything they want and keep there own body. But they choose death instead.
they really dragged the most hobotastic people off of the street to talk about this shit huh
I am afraid.
This is awesome I suffer from chronic pain and this would solve that!
I REFUSE!!! I don't wanna hurt my God!! 😡😠😡
Outlawing aging sounds like outlawing reality. Transhumanism may be possible at some level but it will be completely different from being human. The connection between our brain and body is currently what makes us human. Would we still be human if our consciousness exists outside of our body?
for those who aware about this! it is the mark of the beast! what? will not die forever? are you joking? same as satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden? that if she will eat the fruit she will not die? dont be deceived by this evil people! people need to wake up! watch the videos of NICHOLSON 1968..wake up people! they want all the people to be deceive!
And so long as Men die, liberty Will never perish – Chaplin
what for ?
work forever ?
have a million lovers ?
make love forever ?
Even if we advance in technology we still wont get along, we will never experience peace in this life-time. "Lay up your treasures in heaven"
A bunch of freaks and atheists.
you want to live forever? call upon the name of Jesus Christ and you shall live forever
what do you think about humans finding immortality through technology?
understand that God send rain over the bad and good,he dont just rain on the good people right? It is what God aloud or not. so if they do it why we are going to try to stop it if God didn't stop it? who we are? but because after Adam and Eve we all became mortal and we age and get old and die,Genesis 6:3 So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120years.Sometimes after he said that, man never pass the age of 120years, there is no record and never will be.so for people to say that man can make a pill or some other thing to make humans not get old or live longer than what God said,it just shows that you don't really believe the word of God. I think it's possible for a cream,surgery or a medicine to prevent or to make you look younger or not age as much as the generation before us, i think its possible, but to last longer or to find immortality is like telling Jesus that he is either a liar or we don't need his salvation we can make our own.and that's denying the whole gospel and will make you a devil.and we all know were he is going.We always gonna have this little devils going around trying to cheat God or be like God or imitate him in someway like Lucifer who because of his pride wanted to be like God and of course evil men also gonna try to do that,i'm not surprised.so i believe that this video is wrong because Christians real ones will not support that,we are born and we get old and then we die but whoever believe in Jesus Christ shall run and never get tired shall fly like eagles and shall live forever.
Hah that's neat. Live stream your consciousness to a server. Then if your body is destroyed, you just get downloaded into a new shell. You could just dick around in a VR stimulation until it's your turn in the queue. I wonder how high the service fee will be.
you can live forever healthy if you understand the law which governs the infinite universe
We are energy and energy is indestructible, it only changes form. When our physical body dies our energy/soul exits the body and reconnects with the universal consciousness. Transhumanism will trap our soul in this matrix. Transhumanism is a hunt for our souls, that the elite is promoting in order that we loose our connection with divinity and will be used to harness our energy for their sinister purposes. Humans wake up!!!!
Who want to be happy all time? Without sadness then one cannot enjoy the fullness of being happy. Life is meaning less and boring if you get everything you want and be happy all the time.
Mapping our minds into a digital state doesn’t seem like immortality for myself. I’m allowing a consciousness to take off and live forever from where I left off. It’s like making a copy of a file on a pen drive. It’s just a copy not the actual file. If mapping my mind does literally involve taking the me part of my mind and putting it into a computer maybe then I would consider myself immortal. But I still fear that the me that I feel I am would cease to have any experience, whilst the digital me would have experience and I’m not sure if I consider this continuity of consciousness to actually be the me that I know is me now.
Incredible!!
Survive until 2029. Nanobots will be the shit.
The musings of four year olds.
Experimentation, of the sort that is shown at 8:38, is called abuse, animal abuse in this case, and it is monstrous. Experiment on your own life and body, or on the life and body of volunteers, not on those who have no voice! Anyway "trans humanism," and "living forever" are definitely not the same thing…
Seek Jesus, while there is still time
Whe are obsolite whe need this
if we become immortal then we have to stop reproduction and if we stop reproduction then evolution will not happen still we die if there will be a drastic change in our environment. so it's a bad idea but working on healthy 100 or slightly more years than 100 without any illness and disabilities will be better for humans.
people are baby everyone knows the older the people get the less people want to live for ever?its usually young teen people who want to live for ever? Fact.
I hope they figure out how to use quantum energy to allow humans to shoot Ki blasts like in dragon ball z
I just wanna live forever cause I’m so excited for what the future could bring if humans come together and work on spreading through out the galaxy and universe
I'm 11 right now will I still be alive when it happens
All this geeks could be wrong because this can only be achieve if things remain as they are but if you look around our sick planet things are going to change drastically very soon because our planet is sick our planet is telling us we are doing many things wrong and we are not listening and that will have very dire and destructive consequences for our human race.
I see this as a mistake. immortality in the flesh is not for me, but y'all have fun with that.
