Just looking at the notifacton from this I thought gray was threatening me

I got the mail about this video just as I was reaching the end of Kurzgesagt's video, this must be the feeling astronomers get when planets align. Also, at least this explains the creepy livestream earlier!

I saw the livestream come up before the video, it seemed like a small thing, but now it has a huge impact...

Is death really “engraved in the brain”? Or is it that everything degenerates, all the time? Living forever will cause many problems for our already overcrowded planet.

Did you ever see the movie The Fountain? With Hugh Jackman & Rachel Weisz? A confusing but beautiful movie, centered around the fight against, and acceptance of the inevitability of death...

Really interesting))

What about the argument that for the individual the reaper is a bad thing, but that for the growth and survival of the species it's necessary. I'm thinking about the question posed of "what makes humanity effective", and it is after all the most powerful tool evolution has to improve us. Asimov's Caves of Steel series digs into this (as do countless other scifi). What happens when we cure death and then become so risk averse that we're unwilling to explore the universe?

Death is about renewal - allowing new generations of life to flourish. We need genetic renewal as a species - like all species. Aside from the biological factor, increased longevity would lead to the calcification of human knowledge and experience, longer lived orthodoxies, and an increase in hoarding of wealth/resources.

I agree with Ankush. As a species, we are overly numerous now. There would need to be a moratorium on births. Life would continue, but without babies or children. No thank you.

Also, watch the science fiction films “In Time” and “Jupiter Ascending” to get a dystopian look at longevity as a luxury for the wealthy.

I wrote a book to the answer that question. It turns out Death is like sex. Both are destrutive beyond words. But God, do they put a smile on your face.

Thats really sad man

But isn't death a part of the life cicle? If there was no death how would we solve overpolulation? In a sense if we keep improving our standards of living we'll reach a point when Earth can no longer sustain everyone...

Grey talks about this some more on Hello Internet. He said he's not convinced that overpopulation is really a problem and I agree. Overpopulation is only a problem in impoverished societies; in the Western world birth rates are going down. Provided we can continue the trend of bringing more of the world out of poverty, we don't need to worry about overpopulation.

Why die? Because continued existence is an unwanted burden, from which there is no other escape.

Simone Spinozzi

Why die? Not for any idiotic reason but because the world changes and the more we go onward the more our knowledge becomes a burden which makes it impossible to learn new stuff as we discard it based on our idea of the world and if it does not fit it must either be meaningless or an error. The more you advance in age the more difficult it becomes to learn new things because they do not conform to how you're used to and if we want as a species to keep being competitive then our individuals must die so that new individuals, with their "patchy" knowledge of what we know won't make our same mistakes because they won't assume the same things we as individuals assume. If we want to progress we must "unlearn" it sounds some idiotic b-movie chinese martial master stuff, but it is true, unless we find a way to randomly unlearn stuff we know so that we can approach the same problems with a "fresh mind" and find new and better solutions by doing stuff we would have dismissed as "this cannot possibly work", then we must die. It's the same principle why machine learning has found ways to create circuits that we as humans would never have thought possible. The machine does not know it should not be possible. It just brute-forces all the connections in the test circuit until the desired effects are found and in doing so they found circuits which do stuff we asked but for the love of everything holy we can't put the finger on how they work based on our knowledge. If we were people from the 1800s still living today, aside from the fact that racism and sexism would be even worse than it is today (because we would not have a mind that has "unlearned" why it should not be the right order of things, but it's not like today is better by very much) we would have even dismissed doing circuits that can reconfigure themselves under the orders of a machine as something ridiculous and we would never have tested these machines to see what they would come up with. Progress will slow to a crawl.

Finally! Someone said what i was always thinking. Death is the worst thing which could ever happen to an individual. I had endless discussions with friends about this. Thanks for making this video.
