timppu: Aging is the most common reason for dying. So until we find a way to stop aging and to live forever, people shouldn't care about other less common reasons for dying, like car accidents, terrorism etc.
Or something like that. :)
MaceyNeil: As I've explained to others we are focused too much on death and not life. As Epicurus said 'where death is, I am not; and where I am, death is not'.
To put it into modern context we focus a lot of our medical dollars in extracting the last ounce of existence a being might provide, but take no note or debate as to the wealth of that life.
Not in general terms, not in respect to the desires of the society & certainly not in respect of the individual.
An example is cancer research as opposed to Alzheimer research.
With the money that is spent fighting essentially the unnatural trigger of the bodies natural inherent generational transcription problems, we could of had a bionic tech focus on transplanting cloned neural tissue and as a side effect increased human ability to deal with the coming technological age once it evolved into less barbaric gene therapy.
We would still have our shotgun style cancer therapy drugs that people either recover from or die quickly in dignity with; and the bigger restoration of human autonomy at end of life for a much larger population.
If there is a volcano eruption near your town will you do nothing and just focus on the positives in your town?
Why are you projecting that people in this thread focus too much on the death and not life? How long will people spend on this thread as opposed to other activity?
Thread like this exist as a backlash against the propaganda that all is well, we should continue open our boarders and continue to give free stuff. Other than some racist people, people use stuff like this to rise awareness all is not well, the government is lying to you.
If the government actually stop lying and do something about the border control, we will be both laughing at racist people conspiracy theory.
