I hope this guy does somehow become an immortal, and then realizes that outlining everyone you know and everything you've ever cared about is actually kind of bad
He's a billionaire, he has no one he actually cares about. Billionaires fear death because they are terrified that their empty pursuit of profit was a hollow and meaningless life. They can't take their wealth with them.
Huh? Are you implying that fearing death is inherently a selfish impulse or something? Or exclusive to the rich? Because like, I'm poor and have always feared death and do not want to stop experiencing things. But I wouldnt want to be immortal alone or anything.
Fearing death is normal, but the rich want to be immortal because they can't handle the idea of all their fucking people over and wealth acquisition amounting to literally nothing in the end, not even fond memories or thoughts of people they shared their life with, just ghoulish hedonism at best.
This is always such a spurious argument. The average person already outlives half the people in their life, and I've seen enough happy old people to know it's not necessarily life-destroying.
Obviously we don't have any examples to know how it would affect someone but outliving half the people you know is pretty different to outliving literally everyone you know while also knowing that you always will.
