Why are billionaires not funding immortality research?

[spoiler]They are[/spoiler]
Turns out it's just kinda hard.

Because it's one of those things where throwing money at it can only marginally increase the speed of research. Like the Grand unified theory for physics.

>he thinks Steve Jobs died.

let's say they successfully find a way to live forever.

You won't be able to afford it.
Or they won't disclose it if you are not part of their little elite

also, who would want to live forever as the same person? It's like putting yourself in prison forever.

>he thinks he can escape the cold grasp of death
Try as you might to cling to the edge, your fingers will tired and you will one day fall into the abyss. On that day you will stare into the darkness, but it won't stare back. You can kick and cry and scream but it won't make a difference. Every good work and every sin will cease to matter. The abyss care not who you are or what you've done. It swallows us all the same.

they want to die

30 years from now I'll be sitting in the exact same spot watching 3D hologram porn and thinking about that time when some retard on a Ugandan straw mat weaving chat room thought he'd live forever.

Being a burnout pornaddicted NEET might kill your chances of longevity but the biotech is already here, speak for yourself codemonkey

The longer you live the more you want to die

hopefully wh*Te babies

I'm sure that inmortality will come with some serious side effects, the most important will be the increase of caloric consumption, because I highly doubt that inmortality is feasible without an external-to-the-body support system.

Lol you're gonna die, faggot. No amount of Jow Forums cope posts will change that. Deal with it.

Why u wanna live forever if u piss ur pants and can't remember shit by age 80?

Laugh at the poorfag

Your money won't save you. I know you've heard the whole death and taxes thing and you think you're a witty little cunt with your offshore bank accounts but death isn't an office worker punching in spreadsheets in a government office. Death cannot be cheated. You are utterly powerless to stop it.

Go ahead and try to dance around it. Dance monkey! Dance! Your consternation amuses me.

We don't even know what is causing aging. Lots of theories but none with sufficient support.

That's right.
With their protein and my goat tier workout I will be the pineapple of creation.
Death will be my plaything as I perform my deadlifts

I mean, infinity is a purely theoretical concept for sure, so you won't live -forever-. But how do you know it's impossible to extend life spans to relatively large time scales, say, a few hundred thousand years? A million years?

Because I am not a faggot

That's because you're a pathetic low-life, not a billionaire.
Materialism is the key to happines.

Everything runs down eventually.

What makes you think
1. they don't
2. said researches are public and not fucking secret/underground/barely gray area
?

They are, just not for you.

There's nothing gay about using knowledge to improve your life.

Trumps says the body is like a battery. The more you use it, the faster you die. The key to immortality is to put yourself in coma so your body heals faster than it decays.

Wtf? I orange man bad now

>the trick to not dying is to not live

This is what merilards believe? Is that why they're so fat? They think that by sitting on their asses they're "conserving" energy to live longer?

They have one of the world's highest life expectancy so it must be working! Heck, there's even a direct link between sedentary life and increased lifespan!

>They have one of the world's highest life expectancy

Yeah, watch out Costa Rica and Chile, we're coming for you soon.

Because the Universe itself isn't eternal

immortality research only works if you want be a immortal mummy with a robotic army or human slaves with punishment collars. And need research how your bunker exist forever even with +100 of years in supplies.

What if we find a way to convert all cells to cancer cells without killing the host? Instead of competing with the original cells, it would slowly replace them over time. Eventually you would be pure cancer, just like Jow Forums.

>SINGULARITY IN 30 YEARS RIGHT BROS
why are humans so fucking braindead monkeys

It's called entropy?

100 years or a few thousand years are roughly just as close to 0 when compared to infinity, don't you understand?

Senpai. They are.

You just won't hear anything about it for 20 years.

More like 100 years. Fusion energy is closer then a human equivalent AI.

Moore's law is reaching it's physical limits. Photonic computation will need to take off first before we get anywherr close to uploading human minds.

They are.

Well how is it going?

They already are. Given how excited Jews are about stealing foreskins from babies I'm sure foreskins somehow will be what grants them immortality.

Doesn't Peter Thiel pay a ton of money to have a perfectly healthy and monitored young guy give him his blood?

Also, they might be funding it indirectly.
For example, by funding stem cell research, hoping for a breakthrough that will kickstart the actual immortality research.
And regardless, immprtality doesn't just come out of the blue with an "eureka" discovery. There's a lot of steps before it.
Before you can make life infinitely long, you need to start making it a bit longer, which is currently a subject that's receiving a decent amount of attention.

We do have a idea, but actually there are many variables. One of the known causes is the shortening of telomeres during meiosis.

Because immortality is not profitable. You have to have communism for these things.

Why? You die from natural degradation. I'd theorize that all your body really needs is a fresh set of cells. If you could replace all the old, damaged, or missing cells with brand new ones, there's no reason to believe we should ever die.

The real problem is do we want every retard to live forever or should you have a minimum base of intelligence to qualify.

I'm 37
It gets very, very bad

I think you want eternal youth
Immortality would suck ass

You'll start seeing it become more in the public sphere in the 2020s and 2030s, with publicly available non-trial procedures by the early 2040s.
Although, don't expect it to be cheap. So you'd best make your fortune by the 2030s.

Boring. Post grape scene instead.

I'm 47, and keep telling myself the next is my end.

Immortality implies eternal youth, if you're speaking about it realistically. Seeing as we'd have to reverse senescent biological processes, not by anime magic.

...

S-source? *chest rub*

what the fuck is this meme lmao I'm a zoomer btw

Only egoistic bastards want immortality. Same with retarded singularityfags who want their consciousness inside a computer. If I was a billionaire, I would fund human genetic engineering and research in producing designer babies. I want human genetic engineering and creating a new generation of high IQ people, regardless of their race and skin color. The thing is human genetic engineering isn't a meme like singularity, and we are already close to producing designer babies with technologies like CRISPR. We already genetically engineer our plant food and live stock. The only problem is that we can't simply make a person say have higher IQ or taller with no downsides. There is a correlation with high IQ and some genetic diseases and taller people are more likely to get cancer.

I'm a 40yo shut-in wizard and I glory in waking up every day to enjoy my completely pointless existence, happy in the knowledge that I was born at the exact moment in human history that made my idly comfortable, and completely unproductive life possible, when all other humans have lived lives in a state closer to that of actual pigs wallowing in filth and pain.

Screw immortality, all I want is indefinite longevity and hedonistic idleness.

Be careful what you wish for. You might actually get it.

I'm 22 and it will get very worse very quickly.
The people slightly below my age group only care about fortnite and throwing money at twitch streamers.

That's pretty messed up.

I certainly plan to. And the exit is always open, you know.

>Immortality implies eternal youth
What? No it doesn't, nigger

Thank you, my night is saved. Fuck and I already thought I had to go to bed.

You sound fat, smelly and lonely

Not in anime world, I know, but in reallife it does.

bunch of fucking losers
im 34 and life is fucking awesome! maybe if you weren't fat fucks with no life you would enjoy it more.

bunch of defeatist faggots

Yes it does, unless you're a scientifically illiterate retard. Which you probably are.
You can't achieve immortality without reversing the damage caused by the process of senescence. In doing this, you give back youth. Unless, of course, you mean through the use of information technology. Whilst this is plausible, it is even further away than biological methods.

Save your soul, don't fap to it.

Sure, that's the stereotype, but I'm none of those, in fact. That wouldn't really help my longevity prospects, now would it?

And my life is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

>I was born at the exact moment in human history that made my idly comfortable

I know Epicurus of course. Ancient life was nasty, brutish, and short, to use the cliche. Epicurus himself died a miserable, painful death at what would be considered middle age today, and he was what would be the 1%'er today.

They are but with our current knowledge it is only called “life extension” and “longevity”.

Also, not many billionaires are truly happy and that might be the reason they are not interested in living forever.

Finally, you are looking in the wrong place. Immortality may look more like “brain in the machine” and not like human bodies.
