Living forever would be great if we can maintain a good level of youth and vitality. If so, SIGN ME UP! Great vid guys!

Everlasting youth sounds awesome, but something tells me that it will come with a nice little fee xD

CGPGrey? Nice! :)

Awesome, this is definitely a subject I go over often.

There are way too many unpleasant factors in life to desire it eternal, or even, to desire great longevity. Our society still operates with a mostly capitalist system, and to obtain the basic things we require to live, and those things we would like to have to make life livable, must be obtain through some sort of work. At the moment, most of us spend about a quarter of our lives, or more, performing, in most cases, menial tasks, just so that we may survive. Now imagine having to ask someone if they'd like some fries with that, for two hundred plus years. You may say, well I'll have more time to devote to bettering myself so that I wont be that guy. Problem, the exponentially growing population of others, will also have that time, and in our current societal state, how many people with degrees are having to work in job far below their skill level. If ageing and disease are removed from life, most people will not want to live forever, but no one will choose to die today, no matter their chronological age, and, barring accidents, if no one dies, the universe's, not just our planet's, resources will eventually, and quickly, be out-stripped by the population. We would need to massively reform our society, as well as our biology and psychology, before we could become technically immortal beings.

Too often people talk about the bad parts of death and aging. I am going to remind you all death is a release. Not just of pain and old age. But the biggest release of all is regret. Life is full of promise and regret and death lets you take all your regrets and turn them to dust.

I vote for living for 500 years. Then I'll decide if I want more. Could you include some of the hypothetical drawbacks of living indefinitely?

Where did you acquire the data for the survival graph at 0:17? Is it relied on actual death age distributions? My impression is that the curve is a overtly smooth, given the data at <a href="https://www.nextnature.net/app/uploads/2009/10/hadza-yanomamo-neander-mort.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nextnature.net/app/uploads/2009/10/hadza-yanomamo-neander-mort.jpg</a>, showing the mortality rates expressed as percentage of the population who died in a stage of life. This graph stems from “The Neanderthal’s Necklace” by Juan Luis Arsuaga.

I think the real issue is that humans are never satisfied. no matter what we have, no matter how much we achieve our goals and what we set out to do, no matter how well we pursue our dreams, it's never enough. I'm not rich, but I imagine if I were a millionaire I'd only want more money. if I became a billionaire, I'd only want more. if I succeeded in becoming as spiritually connected with myself as I desire, I'd only want more. related to ageing, if the average life expectancy of humans were 30 years, people would dream of a world where they could live to 60. right now we can live past 100 with the right health, but clearly we are not satisfied and still want more. most people just can't shake the human nature of pursuit. because achievement ends the factor of pursuit in a given field, we naturally set higher goals to then return to a state of pursuit. not the best example, but the movie "Pursuit of Happyness" illustrates the point pretty well that we can only "pursue" happiness, we can never fully achieve it. it's like trying to count to infinity. as close as you think you are, it's never actually within reach and you'll forever find yourself chasing an impossibility

Unless, of course, happiness is a product of the pursuit and not an end in itself. Maybe happiness and leisure aren’t synonymous, maybe it takes effort and hard work to distill happiness out of life, and “the pursuit” is just the name of that process.

I love when you guys work with CGPGrey!
