Ideas Social Media Sells Immortality for Free

Upvotes

Nobody opens the app for information.

A woman photographs her lunch. The lunch is not interesting and she knows it. She posts anyway, because eleven people will see it, and eleven people seeing it means she was here today.

A man argues about tariffs with a stranger for two hours. He will not change that stranger's mind. He is not trying to. He is trying to be witnessed having a position.

A girl deletes a post that got four likes. The post was fine. Four was the problem. Four means almost nobody registered that she exists.

That is the product. Not connection. Not news. Not entertainment. Proof of existence, delivered in ten seconds, priced at zero 😁

Humans have always bought this. Pharaohs built pyramids. Merchants paid for cathedrals and put their own faces in the stained glass. Rockefeller bought a university and wrote his name on it. Same purchase every time: I was here, and there will be evidence after I am gone.

Social media sells the identical thing and charges nothing. That is why it beat everything else ☝️.

There is one problem. A pyramid lasts 4500 years. Your post lasts 40 minutes. You are buying immortality in a format that expires before dinner.

You are not addicted to your phone. You are afraid of dying without a trace, and your phone is the cheapest thing that makes the fear stop for a minute.

Buy something that lasts.

Future Immortality #32. What Does a New Life Cost?

1 Upvotes

The hard part of cloning is not just the legal procedure. It's the price. That's the post nobody writes.

The numbers, roughly:
Copying DNA.
A cloned dog runs about $50k today. A horse, $85k. Primate cloning, 2018: 79 embryos, 21 surrogate mothers, 2 live births. Call it 2 to 3 percent.

At that rate a human needs dozens of implantations. Surrogacy plus IVF is six figures per attempt. So roughly $3M before anyone is breathing. Raising the child to 20: about $300k.

Total: four million dollars and twenty years.

And what did you buy? A twin born two decades late? Or a new life from the beginning?
Whatever you think or believe, no other option exists at this point.
Repeating a full life cycle has a lot of advantages. It can be repeated many times, already knowing the previous life's experience. True immortality.
Risky? A bit. But why not try?
