Let's hope he's right. Life is a cycle and without death the world will be a very boring place.

you're welcome to die whenever you want, just don't speak for the rest of us.

I don't see how this thinking is any different than banning abortions. It's not your problem so shush.

Should you ban murder?

(I leave this as food for thought and an explanation of why I downvoted you. We're off-topic though and shouldn't continue this thread.)

Aging is not the only way to die, there are other ways.

A better way to put is that, without death we wouldn't have progressed as a race as much as we have done. We need new people with fresh ideas to come to top, take higher roles and make radical decisions. People living longer will stay in power longer and keep the status quo alive. In a longer stretch, conservationism, which grows like age, is an impediment for innovation and progress, IMHO.

This sounds like darwinism. Evolution is a law of nature, not a law of society.

What you say is true for species that don't have language or civilization. But since humans have technology, evolution happens in our minds, not in our DNA.

And new ideas don't necessarily require new people.

> radical decisions

Like what?

> People living longer will stay in power longer and keep the status quo alive.

What kind of prediction is that?
