You’re fighting a strawman (nobody’s going to deny death to anyone, and except for seriously ill most people who truly want to die now have an option to do so; myself I’m actually pro-euthanasia). And, once again, you want to inflict on literally everyone a fate you say you don’t want for yourself. Also, I don’t accept the premise there’s any innate power balance in the universe that we ought to uphold even at the cost of our lives, we do not inhabit a Marvel movie. And you’re assuming the knowledge which you can’t possibly have, about exactly how human consciousness functions and what alterations to it we’ll be able to make in the next centuries or millennia.
“you’re assuming the knowledge which you can’t possibly have”
Naturally, I can’t predict the future (unfortunately). But neither can you:
“nobody’s going to deny death to anyone”
You’re making just as much assumptions as myself. The only difference is that you want to spin the heaven/hell wheel of fortune (this is a metaphor), while I don’t—at least not until we’ve had a hell of a lot more time to study it (aka no immortality in a foreseeable future).
