Maybe they shouldn’t die of old age
Yeah Elon and the Zuck will find a way for everyone to live forever in the metavserse
Not where I was going with that. Those are also not people who I think should die of old age. Or whose shitty VR dimension I would ever inflict on myself
That would require people actually willing to use that
If it promised immortality I can garuntee you people would be lining up to use it.
Depends on the type of immortaility. Lena style? Maybe not.
That’s horrifying
Right? Also absolutely believable.
The author, qntm, got their start writting SCP stories i think, so they really know how to lean in on the existential horror.
Not so sure about that actually
You’re telling me that if someone invented a fountain of youth nobody would be interested?
I’m sure some people would be interested, but I just can’t imagine a lot would find the idea of living in the metaverse appealing, even if it’s forever.
Giving full control to some nutjobs….
I want to see them committ ritual suicide
Joke’s on you, the world just produces more and more.
Imagine pushing hard to outlive George W. and miss your window by a decade and suddenly. BAM, Trump I.
Yeah, and Baron Trump couldn’t have turned out much better…
Hmmm. Another brand new account that immediately posts 3 times to this specific community and that’s all. Right.
At least the account was not deleted immediately after? I call that a success!
Just don’t overdo it. Lately there have been some studies that show pushing your limits or basically living in gym does the opposite effect.
