What are some downsides to immortality that most don't think of?
  • If everyone gets to be immortal, imagine never being able to get rid of dictators. Putin's 600th won election.

    People in the future wouldn't be allowed to have children, Earth will be filled to the brim with very old people and very few new ideas.

  • Exactly, like if someone doesn't want kids I wouldn't want to be their child, let them not have them

  • Where I live you pretty much cannot adopt if you're past 40, except when someone put their kid in their last will for you.

  • I like AI. But I'm not sure I like the way we use it if it's only to meet shareholders' expectations or to be a tool for greedy people. What is your opinion concerning the way we seem to use AI in academic research?

    Dormir sur le ventre : quels dangers pour votre santé ? - 13/09/24
  • J'avais cette peur aussi, mais les machines sont moins bruyantes qu'avant, ça dépend beaucoup du masque. Les coussins nasaux font peu de bruit. C'est comme de s'entendre respirer plus fort un peu, et je suis normalement assez sensible aux bruits, mais cela me détend, c'est presque méditatif.

    Il y a même moyen de l'entendre moins ou presque pas du tout si on la cache dans un petit meuble.

    Dormir sur le ventre : quels dangers pour votre santé ? - 13/09/24
  • Attention, je croyais aussi ne faire de l'apnée du sommeil qu'en dormant sur le dos, parce que je ne ronflais que lorsque je dormais sur le dos, mais je me trompais.

    Un test maison de l'apnée obstructive du sommeil m'a révélé que j'en faisais en dormant sur le côté aussi, même sans ronfler. Je dors maintenant avec un CPAP et mon sommeil est bien plus réparateur. En plus, il y a beaucoup de risques de santé associés à l'apnée. Ça vaut la peine de vérifier selon moi!

    Dutch woman, 29, granted euthanasia approval on grounds of mental suffering
  • I'm not the one you talked to but isn't it better to receive assistance in dying so that the experience is less traumatic for friends or relatives of the dead? For example, they don't have to see their loved one inject themselves or whatnot.

    Plus, it comes with the benefit of not having to transport the body if it was a suicide at home, not having to stress about the lethal cocktail and if it contained the right amounts of drugs or whatever.

    It doesn't say much, but I would prefer it a whole lot that a person that I am close to chooses the assisted suicide. And I would much rather be strapped to someone when skydiving.
