Pondering Inponderables
(Thursday June 02 2005)
 | A slow news day, ergo you are treated to freeform musings on radical life extension from Glenn Reynolds over at Tech Central Station. "Would people who lived to 150 or 300 take time to retool? And, if they did, would they be as creative as they were when they were fresh out of school? I'm not sure. On the one hand, people who live to 300 can't expect to coast for a lifetime on the intellectual capital of their youth. And the opportunity costs in terms of lost time would be much lower as a percentage of lifespan than they are for a 55-year-old today." There's more in that vein, but think for most of us it boils to down to whether it is better to see for ourselves or to suffer and die - no contest there! |
