I remember watching one of his videos a year or two back where he was talking about how we were approaching a cure for death and anyone who slowed down the development of this cure, which included those who were at all cynical about the possibility or desirability of such a cure, were morally culpable for whoever wouldn't be saved by the delay. He also said that anyone who was comfortable with or accepting of death was like a desert nomad that worshiped the sun. It was such a bizarre video and I think I stopped watching him after that.
Weird fucking comparison. The Ancient Egyptians lived in a desert and worshipped the sun and they built one of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world.
I mean yeah we should absolutely try and stop Old Age, or the clusters of pathology and disease that present as old age. Stopping death is kind of hard, outside of uploading or at least "savegame" tech a shotgun to the head will seriously cramp your day. In any case people should be free to live as little or as much as they wish.
But this kind of bonkers total war all-or-nothing approach is typical of the transhumanist addled side of the net, and is even more ironic since many would regard such rhetoric on climate change to be needlessly alarmist.
