The equation is really more money equals more machines and more greed. And so they want to live forever to play with their toys and enjoy their money. I suspect the simple truth is that the billionaires of today have far more money than any of the rich of the past and with much more fun gadgets to play with. Why is greed greater today than in the past? I hate to admit it, but human nature is still the same: in the past we wanted to live forever and in the present the billionaires are actually trying to live forever! The tech-guys are even less rational than the ones from past despite years of coding experience! So is there any chance of living here forever or until the end of time? The answer is certainly not if the rabbi, imam and the priest are to be believed.Īnd again I would agree that there is no reason to think humans can live forever, folks may disagree with whether there is an eternal life waiting for humans after we die-and atheists, agnostics and scientists regularly do-but I think the scientific consensus is that much the Philosopher’s stone, a human incapable of dying is another mythic concept that has no reality apart from the imagination of some tech-types whose minds have lost their rationality from excessive video-games and computer coding. Religion has a historical monopoly on the question of immortality and according to the Abrahamic faiths immortality is possible only by humans when we die: either in hell or heaven. His reference of Andrew Carnegie brought back memories of the countless self-help and personal finance books that I have read right next to grandma’s open fireplace. I think he is right the money could have much more productive uses than immortality. He argued that the billions being blown in anti-ageing techniques by billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos-who else could afford these projects?-would be better spent on community projects like education centres for mature students, housing units for poor people and retirement facilities for the old.
It seems to me that this article maybe his best work. This article is well-written by a respected British journalist, who is named as John Harris. I read an article on The Guardian newspaper about how the rich are investing in science and technology to enable them to live forever.
