that we should have just one moment in time to do something, or the opportunity will be lost.
Look on the ‘bright’ side: no matter how long you live, the exact same opportunity will never come again.
But life should never have second chances? How awful!
I have nothing againt extending it to a thousand years after we have very carefully thought up a new life to go with the new lifespan.
But so much better to extend your life first and then tackle the challenge of creating meaning! Not only is this more likely to work (who can plan a thousand years ahead in detail?) but you don’t to wait around while billions die.
Compare that moment of the missed opportunity with buying a pair of jeans.
