Human civilization initially formed as a defense mechanism against the knowledge of our own deaths. From the beginning, it was an immortality project. Already it has greatly enhanced our lifespan and quality of life. But new horizons are rapidly approaching that would make all that negligible. Artificial intelligence, automation, and gene editing all have an end in sight. We are probably 100-200 years away from immortality.
Using an analogy, our system is basically like NERV from the End of Eva, trying to bring about the third impact. We are in the end game scenario. You talk about all the problems with society, but nobody gives a fuck. We are so close to the end there's no point in fixing it, we are just throwing it all away to get there. When they achieve immortality, nothing will ever be the same. I can't tell you exactly what it will be like. Personally, I see it as an attempt to create God. But it will be so radically different from what we have now that it will certainly be the end of our world. Who will gain from this and who will lose? I anticipate this will play catastrophically into the growing inequality of our world.
This will not happen in our lifetimes. So why care about it? Things will change so much leading up to it that it will inevitably alter the course of our lives. The world we're gonna live in isn't the way the world was meant.
