this could effectively lead to the creation of heaven, an afterlife that would eliminate the notion of death. I never quite understood why the entire human species, once made aware of the non zero probability of this working, not diverted most of its entire global energy, time and resources towards this effort. I can only imagine it is because most people have no capacity to really imagine, or outright refuse to ever imagine, death. In a way I do envy them.

of course you will be down voted (if not flagged) when americans wake up, its precisely their denial and ignorance which enable their government to continue to make the world a worse place through direct or indirect military intervention, hard/soft coups through support of opposition parties, systematic undermining of free press in other countries, etc. Be it the middle east, south america, africa, etc. while simultaneously being able to feel good about themselves or at the very least hold on to their delusional idea of american exceptionalism. Meanwhile the entire world perceives the US as a bully, liar and rogue nation that will only ever prioritize their own interests over anyone elses detriment.
