The elites will be keeping this technology for themselves.
The peons will die quickly and beg for scraps.
Any thinking believer in Christ knows that 1000 years is a nothingburger.
When you seek something of this magnitude apart from the Creator, the outcome will be the worst kind of failure imaginable.
Good chance they’re correct but not because of nanobots and A1 but because of the soon-coming age of the 1000-year Lord’s Reign on Earth. A lot of things will be different during that time which I believe will start near the end of this century.
Only psychos would WANT to live to be a thousand years old.
Well let’s get on with this.
I could use a guaranteed, 10 yr. extension to get my affairs in order.
the older I get the less appealing that sounds
Not me.
Another world--an eternal world--awaits. Many of us have had a glimpse of it.
I doubt its possible, but if it is possible, one couldn’t remain human.
Such a person would become something else.
The operative slogans are: There is no free-lunch, and God will not be mocked.
I’m trying it out - when I get up in the morning these days I feel like I’m a thousand years old. When I peer into the bathroom mirror I look like it, too.
Michael Crichton was so spot on with a lot of his books....
Yea, no thank you.
I have read articles about people who have had tech implants and have had them shut down on them without notice.
Also, tech implants don’t always stay in the place where they were implanted and if they fail, you have to pay to have them removed.
No thank you.
I don’t think sane people would be interested.
Sure. I am still hoping they can get voice recognition right.
How long have they been working on that? 40 plus years?
Also besides AI, Google and Amazon throw more resources at voice recognition than ANYTHING.
Does anyone else notice that when you try to text someone with voice recognition it ALWAYS screw it up?
Great news for the married folk.
My sister who is 80 complains all the time about having to do the maintenance tasks like feeding herself or taking care of brushing teeth and maintaining her hair. People with that attitude would kill themselves rather than live a thousand years.
I’m 70 and every step is painful. Other than that, I have no complaints. If I thought I had another fifty productive years, pain free years, I’d learn some new skills and start another business. I look forward to every day and I love cooking, eating and mundane tasks don’t bother me. But a thousand years? I think some people improve the world when they die. I’ve had a few bosses that if I still worked under them, I’d have killed myself. Politicians of almost any ilk already hang onto power WAY too long. If they were once perfect for the job, they eventually get stale and resistant to change. (I think Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden have been hollowed out and someone is wearing their skin and animating them.)
Perhaps if we lived to be even two hundred, there would be laws forcing people out of their jobs, or power, after a period. If not, the entire society would ossify.
Science has shown that the longer we can live, the more likely we will be taken out by cancer until the certainty becomes 100%.
The best we can do is keep our level of functionality at a higher point to a later age. Say, for example, having the same functionality as a 60 year old when you are 80 years old.
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He’ll either say I’m pleased where man has been
Or tear it down, and start again
Anyone want to be a garbage man for a thousand years? Raise your hand.
