Wait until you are 80 and tell me again if you want to live more.

80 years is a lot of time, the problem is that you spend 40% of your years in an office cubicle. You could live 250 years, if you were miserable for 180 years you'd still be unhappy and you'd still want more.

We should work more on quality and less on quantity, what do you say?

You’re arguing this point from so many directions, I don’t know where to start. I’ll just say this: I have a to do list of projects that I absolutely adore working through, and it just keeps growing, with no end in sight. Every time I push into new territory, it opens up new possibilities, and I think of new things to try. Meanwhile, I can earn plenty of money without being miserable. When I’m 80, I will still have plenty left to do and learn, but my body and mind may no longer be up to it. If we can actually reverse aging, that will no longer be the case.

So I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe your life isn’t interesting enough to enjoy for more than 80 years, but mine sure as hell is.

??? lmao. that's funny. that you think humans are gonna be WORKING by 2050. that's hilarious. as if AI didn't just replace all the god damn artists in the world and caused an uproar online. the world is going to be taken over by ASI given any rate of progress, and you're obviously not ready for that. the fact you think the singularity won't happen at all, even by 2100, shows how inept you are when it comes to technology. even the smartest scientists at Google believe sentient ai is on the way, see laMDA.

Dude you probably didn't finish high-school, pipe down the armchair futurology.

I don't need a PhD to know that by 2100 the world's gonna look completely different. we can have differing opinions about whether it goes the nuclear route or the futurism cyberpunk route but the fact you think desk jobs will still exist by then is just a joke. pretty sure people today in their middle age didn't even know what a damn computer was back in their day.
