Billions’ worth of high-tech research seeking to make death optional
I just think that death gives life meaning and knowing/accepting that we will die is a part of growing more self aware and focusing on the good things in life like family and love rather than the wasteful things. Maybe that's an unpopular viewpoint in the age of technology but I also think a lot of people are scared to death that they spent decades of their life in a rat race and are desperate to get those years back. All the money in the world can't save you from death and time is our most precious resource.
