In my opinion the purpose of life is to live forever.
And i believe there is the theoretical possibility to do so.
The cure is somewhere to be found.
Very few people believe in it and i wonder why..
But the question is not why it is impossible, but how it could be possible.
-
I like the way you create new words
-
There is no "overpopulation" of this world.. more people are always better!
Why? Because more people can solve more problems.
-
Everyone lives forever, the question is where

Everyone lives forever, the question is where
I'd believe in reincarnation before religion.
Maybe souls are recyclable.

695 million people life with less than 1,90 Dollar per day.
Why not use theire brains? Theire combined brain power could solve alot of problems in this world.
For 60 dollars per month you could buy theire brain,
If you pay them for ten years = 7200$
Why not build schools and pay them?
It costs almost nothing, after that i am sure they would be happy to work for you..

This is some great philosophizing, broskie.

No, it is a serious question..
i never heard about a school who pays money for participation. After 10 years and 10.000$ (which is normaly the payment for 2-4 month)you have somebody who is as capable as everybody else.
+you would find some people who could change the world..

695 Million! Why not use there brains? There combined brain power could solve alot of problems in this world.
I see it like this 695 Million Chances to solve our problems..
How? Relativ simple, pay them!
For 60 Dollors per month you could buy there brain,
720 Dollors per Year, if you pay them for ten Years = 7200$
What if you don't pay them 1,90$ per day but 4$ per day if there are good enough?
Captalism could heal this world, but what i don't understand is why nobody takes advantage of this?
Why not build scools and pay them? It cost almost nothing, after that i am sure they would be happy to work for you..
It was my understanding there would be no math

They certainly wouldnt pay you to attend.

Living Forever ain't all its cracked up to be in my opinion
The strapping young man who sang the song named after this very concept now complains of constant pain in his hips requiring a hip replacement...and he's only 50
From my observations of elderly relatives its clear life doesn't build up to some grand crescendo and rapturous conclusion once you hit the senior years. With rare exceptions not many people are splitting atoms or refining biceps supinators once they hit their octogenarian era, rather it just sort of...peters out...until the point where you end up sitting in a a chair staring at Price is Right on the telly
Sure there are grandkids etc but I reckon 80-90 years is enough to do what you are gonna do realistically. Of course I may change my mind once I edge closer ...

The vast majority of acts of genius are performed in youth, even before age 25.
Once you've fulfilled the biological imperative of reproduction nature has little use for you.

that's why I'm hopping in the cryogenic chamber in 5 years when Iv saved a couple mills. I'llpop up when there is a cure

I'd love to live forever so I can see every Mr Olympia contest for eternity

I hope bhanks lives forever, he might eventually win something he enters.

BossBoss seems like an intelligent version of Marty Falcon, only with brains and good punctuation.

Why? Because more people can solve more problems.
And when there is more people there are definitely more problems to solve.

My doctor says I will live to be 100 at least. There are times when that seems like forever.

My granddad lived to be 104. I do not want to live that long.

BossBoss is German, and writes pretty well in English considering it is a second language for him. Although this post was noticeably lower than his normal standard.
I'm not sure if I understand BossBoss' first point, but regarding aging, all health issues that cause living things to die break down into physical processes that have the potential to be halted, or even reversed.
In this sense, to cure death is ultimately just an engineering fix.
My friend thinks that in the future when aging is cured, we will look back at photos of people at age 20 and age 100, and view it like a disease that humanity was able to eradicate, similar to how we view smallpox today.

In my opinion the sense of life is to live forever.
And i believe there is the theoretical possibility to do so.
It makes no sense that there is an end to life.
Do you mean the purpose of life is to live forever?
At first, I thought you meant that if you sense that you are alive, that it would mean you are an eternal being.
But I do agree with you that death could eventually be cured. It seems like aging itself is a disease, and one that many will eventually die from, who don't die of a specific disease.
I hope veganism can be cured too.
My issue with vegans is that they think they are better to animals than non-vegans simply because they don't cause animals to die because they don't directly eat them. Where vegans fail the moral argument to me is that humans cause animals to die in a myriad of way - such as by living in heated homes which causes habitat loss which kills animals, buying goods made by plastic and oil, which kill animals from production all the way to waste in the ocean, and from eating vegetables, which kill something like six million birds in the USA each year just from flying over vegetable crops and being poisoned by pesticides, and in many other ways on top of those.
So a vegan living in a big home and driving a gas guzzling truck probably kills more animals in a year than one meat eating person who just eats one cow and 1-2 pigs over the course of the year. For meat eaters who are minimalist like myself, I'd say the average vegan has a lifestyle that kills way more animals than I do.
So I'm not going to be guilted into adopting a diet that will make me weaker by a group of people who actually kill more animals with their lifestyle than I do with mine. Until all vegans are on the lowest number of calories needed to simply not die, give up all modern technology and live in outdoor tents rather than heated homes, I will simply point out that vegans kill animals too. And I'd be willing to bet you kill more than I do, BossBoss. From doing things like driving more, and buying more new clothes - all of these things kill animals in a roundabout way.
You speak like the only way humans kill animals is by eating them. That is just not the case.

I think we can live longer healthier lives by being more intelligent and disciplined regarding our way of life. But why would you want to live forever with a physical body?
If the body could transform in to something more like a superman perhaps a life of a thousands years would be enjoyable, but not the way we are now.
And besides, the spiritual aspect of our being has always and will always live forever. Our true reality is not this identity as a human being but as the Being at the core of the universe, transcending time and space, abiding forever in the eternal now, in perfect peace and freedom. We are more formless than with form.

The first 16 years or so we are growing and then we have our peak years up to about 32 or so and then it's a slow decline to death. People want to live to be 100, 120, 200, etc only because they fear death. Being in an old body for the vast majority of your physical existence would be like being in prison.

You really want more Detroit-Blacks populating the world?
Make no mistake, i said Detroit-Blacks or Ghettoites, not the Goodrum-Blacks, big difference of species.

One day Humble Narcissist was sitting on a park bench smoking a cigarette
The man sitting next to him looks over and says, "Smoking is bad for you." Humble Narcissist looks over and responds, "My granddad lived to be one hundred and four The man replies, "And I bet he didn’t smoke
"No" says Humble Narcissist "he minded his own fucking business."

He bases it on my excellent health. Although the doctor wouldn't know this, a few of my cousins are getting close to 90 years of age.

2000-3000 years in the future it will be easy to get a new body,
there is this russian doctor who is planning to transplant a head on a different body..
40 Years ago they did that already with animals. (they died shortly after, but it worked for a few days)
So in the future you not only get a new body, but you can choose your body..
Some people would choose to live as an animal, think about these "Furrys" for example, they absolutly would love to live as an animal, and i think this is what will happen. Not only can you choose what body you will get but also which spezies you want to be, and then they could transplant your brain in a Tiger or different animal.

Liam was always out with weights in a rucksack, running the streets to keep fit.
Poor form, poor footwear and the wrong gait will blow your knees or hips if you aren't careful.

Living forever is not feasible, unless we have interstellar travel.
Also, it would only be given to the select few who can afford it.
Think people! There are billions of people on this earth, many of whom who breed like rabbits. There is no way having everyone living for hundreds of years benefits anyone.
Unless, we can disperse throughout the universe.
Otherwise, it's won't happen for the average person. Just like Magic Johnson, survived AIDS, when it was a death sentence for nearly everyone else.

The brain and head age as well. You may attach the head to a young body and just be a young buck with dementia.

It's better than dementia AND a fucked up body. (you would feel like bhanks)
But there is probable a solution for dementia in the future,
i am shure they will find a cure for dementia maybe not in the next 10 years but 100% in 2000 years.
Even if your brain is still old, there would be a way to reverse that atleast to a certain extend.
Either you take a pill or they change you genetically.

Immortality, doesn't support the space needed, to occupy Earth.
Even if they unlocked the code to live forever, it would be behind a paywall for the rich.
No offense, but you wouldn't bless 3rd world countries with the ability to live forever. Maybe that's what the future lottery will look like. "Win a chance to live forever!"

Good point but why are there third world countries at all?
Maybe the solution would be to fix this problem first, that would also lead to technological development.
+ We have enough space on Earth.
We have plenty of space almost everywhere, people could also live on the see.
People could live in the cold like the city of Oimjakon in russia there is space for everybody.
Also you could exclude women with more than three children from the cryonics\ immortality pill.

easy way to stop third world country problems is to stop feeding them, it just prolongs the agony
Stupid fucks choose to live in sand rather than soil.

How much do we really feed them? Maybe that is propaganda. You see videos of indigenous people, surviving just fine by themselves, with no outside help.
Maybe Black Hawk Down, hurts the Africans more than the war. They werent/aren't ready for modernization, and it shows.

First of all i am no expert in this. But this is what i heard:
Parts of africa are realy poor, Germany pays alot of money to them to help them out which is realy realy nice.
Alot of these farmers in Africa grow sugarcane, it is a good product and realy cheap to produce for them.
The suggar they produce from sugarcane would be the cheapest.
They could make alot of money by exporting this stuff.
The problem is, Germany doesn't want that, we pay our own farmers extra money to make our own product cheaper, which is sugar from sugar beets + we tax their product with an import fee, so finaly it is not so cheap anymore and they can't sell shit in germany.
^^maybe i am getting it all wrong, but why are we paying to help them on one side and on the other side we tax the few products they have so high that they can't sell it anymore?

Maybe, but i think it is a monopoly. They are forced to make bad deals with us because they are not united.
The west could just say you have to buy this product from us, otherwise we don't sell this other product that you desperately need to you.
If you have 4 people on a table playing monopoly and 3 people decide that they don't trade cards with you, you loose.
You can't win this game because you need three streets to build.
Maybe they sell you the missing card, but now they dictate the price. There is nothing you could do about it.

I've never thought of world politics, like Monopoly, but it actually has some merit.
Just feed the starving children. They didn't ask to be brought into this world like this.
It's the dirt poor parents that breed like gerbils, who are to blame.
