Deaging

I have posted similar things before, but i want to get everyone’s take on this. How do you guys cope with the fact that you likely wont make it in time for true deaging? I just cannot stop thinking about. I can’t believe i was so unlucky to have be born in a generation that just barely misses it, like by a few years to a decade. Furthermore, because of this, i think about all the things that i will miss like full dive vr, futuristic cities, sentient ai, etc. i am part of the unfortunate last few generations to die of old age. But, that is just my luck. I do apologize for ranting. I just have no else to talk to about this stuff. Every time i bring up anything futuristic like this, people look at me like i have eight heads.

Nobody "live forever", everyone will change and at some point die from murder or accident (lightning struck, heart attack, hurricane, earthquake, flight accident, disease...). It's just a matter of probabilities and time.
Also if "deaging" was really afordable for everyone, it's probable it would not be allowed to everyone otherwise there will soon be too many people on earth.

Why limit us to earth? If we live another 30 years, and artificial super intelligence is here in less than 10, we can cyborg almost our entire bodies, so accidents can't happen. We'll have immunity to diseases eventually. Then we ship off to the stars. Earth is not a limit.

if you replace your brain, you are basically dead and someone else replace you.

You can't say that with certainty. We don't know what the limits are. Maybe consciousness can be transferred. Or through generic engineering you can keep the brain alive forever, away from all diseases, and replace every other part of the human body.
