If google came out with immortality what would you do?

[Lord Tony®]

Natural selection would allow people to potentially live an endless amount of time. Age would no longer be a factor getting in our way.

mortal people can die. immortal people cannot. it's as simple as that

except for overpopulation

I don't know what your definition of immortal is but I'm not talking about some almighty being from a higher power that doesn't even have a physical form here.

This conversation is talking about immortals that can die from everything but age.

except for overpopulation

Natural selection still applies. The weak die off from starvation.

If at any point there is a method to stop or slow aging we would have to have severe restrictions on re population.

[Lord Tony®]

China already has anti-repopulation laws. Same applies to anyone trying to achieve immortality.

neither am i

i already explained it

[Lord Tony®]

No definition on immortality I looked up says you can't loving die from being shot by a bullet.

[sir dooble]

I just said natural evolution is impossible for humans.

We would have to artificially evolve through technology.

Humans are still evolving via natural selection. We know we evolved significantly as little as 8000 years ago, producing proteins that aid in digestion of starch, helping us get the most out of farming cereals.
8000 years is staggeringly recent in terms of evolutionary biology.

We are always evolving. You just don't see it because the changes aren't major to our appearance, and they take hundreds of generations to begin to become present across the general population.

You don't know what you're talking about, again.

[Mr Man]

Immortality would be a curse, eventually living that long would take its toll on your mental health. You'd want to die, you'd eventually want to just be done.

[Lord Tony®]

But fine I'll humor you.


In the event of death from anything even age your consciousness will be transferred onto a computer waiting to be put back into a body.


Still by definition immortal.

what you're probably thinking of is biological immortality
slight difference, easy mistake

don't think too hard on it

[Lord Tony®]

don't think too hard on it

You're the one thinking too hard on this.

In the next 8,000 years we evolve again our biological human bodies would still not surpass a robot from that modern time period.

By leaving our biological bodies in a form of a machine we already pass the biological evolutionary cycle by millions of years.

You're the one thinking too hard on this.

it's simple man

[Lord Tony®]

it's simple man

I literally told you on page 1 that it is biological immortality.

You knew what I meant from the start.

[The Resonte!]

I literally told you
