t’s funny how much people in these circles don’t wanna die, never stopping to consider at least 1 bad consequence of that.
Is that really the only reason you can think of that you got downvoted?
Your comment didn’t say there’s at least one downside to life extension. It said the downsides outweigh the upsides and it did not make a well-argued case that that was so.
edit: Instead of “well-argued” I originally had the word “convincing”. I changed it because a comment does not have to be convincing or correct to get upvotes (or at least to not get downvotes). In fact, I predict that a comment or post that summarized a lot of downsides people should consider when forming their opinions about life extension in a non-preachy “you guys are so wrong about this” sort of way would be highly upvoted.
