The idea that "will my life ever have meaning" and "will I be forced to work for all of eternity" is just bikeshedding is absolutely ludicrous.

What is with this new thing where we call death a "disease" anyways? A disease implies that getting rid of it is a good thing. It's sneaking a very controversial statement (dying should be eradicated) into the post.

As I stated 6 years ago, we aren’t likely to “cure death” anytime soon. So, rather than run into the weeds and wax philosophical, maybe we can give it a good effort

“Finally, let’s not delude ourselves into thinking that death is going to be an easy disease to cure. Maybe we’ll get a few breakthroughs over the next couple of decades and we’ll figure out how to add a few extra healthy years to the average person. We definitely need to move beyond long term studies and peer deeper into our bodies.”
