I think people are confusing “people want to live to 120” with “people want to be 120.”

Actually being 120 would probably be awful. But seeing the year 2130 might be truly wild. On a basic level, it’s the same as wanting to live to see tomorrow.

What age do you want to die at?

This is actually a really interesting question, personally never. Not like heat death of the universe never but I don't feel like there's a point in theoretical forever young immortality where I would want to die, there's always more shit to do and I've never felt like I need to up my game or something. I'm curious what you guys think though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

About the same. I should up my game though.

The age where I can no longer do things that I like to do, code and workout.
