On aging and immortality

Amazing article. Personally,I don’t know if this weird but I see death as life’s greatest invention. We here because of it,it has shaped this universe,one of the few constants in life’s sea of variables.

I constatly ask what is death? Is it just an absence of life,or is it another form of life,who knows. Only this universe knows. Like a huge vault it locks this mystery from us. Using it to enforce one of life’s greatest force. Change.

It gets rid of the old,the old ideas,the old thinking,the status quo, to bring in a fresh perspective. Though we all want eternal life,its moronic and obtuse thinking that solving death is as simple as a mathematical / engineering / biological problem.

Who knows may be it is,may be it isn’t. Heck we don’t even fully understand our view of those areas,just ask any mathematician to illustrate fundamental concepts of infinity.

Is the universe’s basic fundamental unit really truly based on ones and zeros? Look at the history of civilization, majority of human innovations have happened in a span of a century. Is that a coincidence?

The answer to immortality will definitely involve answering alot of basic fundamental questions about life, my concern is this huge immortality proposers and futurists are asking the wrong questions,running hundreds of miles an hour in the wrong direction.
