I consider anyone who doesn't want to die in this current word psychologically unsound.

Once again, downvoted for holding a Controversial Opinion that the hive mind doesn't like.

More likely downvoted for a sweeping, conversation ending dismissal of anyone who disagrees with you, without bothering to add any substance.

There are plenty of comments in this thread that agree with you, that are doing fine. It’s not your argument, which to be honest is not particularly unpopular or unconventional.

Could you please elaborate why do you consider us psychologically unsound. Have you watched any talks by Aubrey de Grey?

Because living in a world where you live to work for the next 30 years until climate change kills us all is not a good prospect.

First of all "kills us all" is highly exaggerated and what happens largely depends on what we do in this years.

But even assuming the kills us all part is correct, dying now is worse prospect than dying in 30 years so i don't see how that can be an argument for psychological unsoundness.

I did not downvote you, but i don't think you were downvoted for holding a "Controversial Opinion", unfortunately many people hold opinion similar to yours, you were downvoted because calling some people crazy without giving any explanation why you do it.

The parent comment did the same. I don't see it downvoted.

It's not the same, writing style matters in getting your message to the reader, the style of your comment looked hostile, and not motivation nor the logic of your argument were discernible from it.
