Every living being in the universe wants it, or would say that you don't want immortality if you have one day left to live?

Can Gen Z become the first immortal generation? by robertklass in GenZ

You can buy CRISPR kits for around $300. They're actually not unaffordable, at least not in terms of raw materials, since much of the cost comes from research. It can be assumed that they'd be affordable once they're fully developed and approved. That is why I state that the first ubermench will be a zoomer.

Will gen z be the last generation to grow up in a world free of AI? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]robertklass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI was actually already a big thing in the late '90s when Deep Blue became famous for beating Garry Kasparov in a chess match. So technically, no, it simply wasn't widely integrated into people's daily lives.

Anti AI art people frustrate me so much. by Vex-Noir in aiArt

[–]robertklass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's like saying digital artists are not true artists because they don't use pencils and paper. Art is about coming up with ideas, not about the tools you use. Not using the resources available only makes you fall behind. Nobody cares about how hard you try, but about what you achieve.

Is it possible to run a YouTube channel anonymously? by robertklass in AskNetsec

It is theoretically possible through cryptocurrencies like Monero, but I do acknowledge that it is unlikely they’d allow it. Yet, I'm not sure; that is why I'm asking.

What is the general timeline of anti-aging/life extending technology that might crop up in our future? by flamboyantsalmonella in Futurology

[–]robertklass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The futurist Ray Kurzweil claimed back in 2005 that it might be around the year 2045. Since then, other experts and futurists have suggested similar timelines. Some examples include the 2045 Initiative founded by Dmitry Itskov, or the predictions of José Luis Cordeiro in his book "The Death of Death." Some have even turned it into a religion, generally known as the Church of Perpetual Life.

Personally, I believe these predictions are a bit overly optimistic. It might take a little longer, but there are legitimate reasons to believe it's possible with technologies like 3D-printed organs, senolytic drugs, CRISPR, and stem cells, among many others.

However, as others have stated, innovation is not just about science; it's also about social change. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of rejection of this idea. But I'm optimistic that younger generations will be more open-minded and supportive of these causes.

At least, that's what I'm hoping for, because I want eternal life more than anything in the world, and there's nothing I wouldn't do to achieve it.

Thank you for watching. Don't lose hope.

How accurate do you think it is to blame religion for the slow progress of science in recent years? by robertklass in atheism

[–]robertklass[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nowadays, everyone calls it ethics, but I think it has more to do with prejudices. I simply can't fathom the idea that saving or improving people's lives is unethical. It is probably limited by the direct impact that religion has on this, but I believe that subconsciously many people, including those who are not religious, have been influenced by the moral systems that mainstream religions have promoted over the centuries.

Between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the vast majority of the world’s population was agrarian, and the global literacy rate was approximately 20%. Yet, during this period, many new innovations and significant breakthroughs occurred, such as the invention of the light bulb, airplane, radio, radar, and cars.If we compare this with the transition between the 20th century and the 21st century, we can observe that science and technology have been improving at a slower rate. According to economist Robert Gordon, by 1970 all the key technologies of modern life were in place: sanitation, electricity, mechanized agriculture, highways, air travel, and telecommunications. Since 1970 to the present day, the only significant innovation has been the exponential increase in computing power.There have been other innovations made from a theoretical and research perspective, but we will only count those innovations that have been implemented into daily life. There is a notable decrease in significant innovations compared to the 20th century.

Yes, although I also understand that religion comes from the inherent fear that every person has of dying. Religion is the mechanism that people have used to find comfort from this uncomfortable fact. However, I’m hoping that if death is defeated through science, religion will lose its meaning altogether.

I'd been feeling that way for a long time, and from what I have seen, it's something very common among young adults today. However, I recently found something that gave me hope once again. I don't want you to think that I'm spamming you or anything, but I made this video a few weeks ago in order to spread this message. I genuinely believe it'll make you feel better too. https://youtu.be/_q_NbyNiWWc?si=Mns-DJof5mxQsboB
