Technological Immortality, Think Again? What Musk And Kurzweil Don't Say And Why Does It Matter
Immortality is technologically impossible but extended longevity should be a goal for anyone who doesn't want to die. You have a point in saying people are not free today so why wouldn't this technology be abused just like how the Internet and every other technology is abused?
At the same time we cannot avoid the technology once it's invented so how can we get the maximum benefit to empower the individual? It's kind of like how mainframe computers existed in the 60s and 70s but the personal computer had to be invented to bring computation to the masses so everyone could benefit. The Internet existed for a long time but it wasn't until the 1990s that almost everyone could benefit.
How to limit the risks and increase the benefits?
Immortality is technologically impossible but extended longevity should be a goal for anyone who doesn't want to die...... that is what my Earth Custodians Movement is about, willing to live longer without claiming the right to immortality because immortality is impossible and a hoax therefore. But one can prolong life and still be looking very human, 3D printing already makes bone and muscular tissues.
Cyborgs are not for our 3D dimension, and humans will have to find a way to send them where they come from: outer space. Or they will destroy our planet. The 2 dimensions are incompatible
