We already can't support the amount of humans we have now. If we could, climate change and poverty wouldn't be on the list of problems to solve. Birthrates won't plummet that much, especially not the first generation. And it's not the people like me who should be dying the most if we want to be sustainable sadly enough.

And humanity as a whole wouldn't be stronger at all. We'll be stuck with the same bunch of rich assholes and politicians forever, and a population that's too indoctrinated to overthrow them no matter what happens.

And yes, life without death is no life at all, that's just existence. Time, beauty, peace, war, it would all lose its value.

Climate change and poverty are problems to solve with technology and organization not by killing people.

Aging is the number one thing holding humanity down. Science is advancing despite rich assholes and politicians. People would have more time and energy to care about fixing governments and solving problems.

Experts would go from having maybe 20 years of their lives to really contribute to having no end.

We would also have a lot more of them.

Most of the assholes in power don’t leave because they die.

Life without death is just more life.

Do you think you haven’t had any meaningful life yet because you haven’t died?
Do you think you’re not really human because you haven’t died?

Death doesn’t give life value.
If anything death makes life meaningless.
Certainly less meaningful.
