I've been saying for years: All buildings should be parking garages.

Because you can always just put a mini residential building inside a parking garage if you need tenants.

Need an office? Just put a mini office in the parking garage. It's perfect.

Parking garage construction is so clean and simple. Other buildings are too complex! From now on, I'll only build parking garages.

(Then I guess you have the opposite example of the residence without the parking garage! It's a great place to live, but there's nowhere to store my things and park my car!)

This issue is reporting the same kind of thing - text selection is lost on re-render

Or they change info then destroy the source.

Is that possible at all or nah?

I want to hold out hope that conscious is uploadable.

But I got myself to a point intellectually where I think that’s impossible.

But given The Hard Problem and what not, it would be great if one day someone just figured it out.

Like oh guys it was just ____ all along, and now they sell Death Insurance for the embodied (rich folk) or if you’re poor you’re just a mind in the cloud with something like a Heroku bill pooled in with other souls.

Like there’s a budget tier of the afterlife fml (fmd)

You’re right that immediately if nobody died anymore we would have overpopulation and resource issues but I consider them extremely secondary issues to not existing.

Maybe even kinda fun.

If you couldn’t die war would be fun. It might even be fun to get blown up.

It would be a different thing entirely

If we lived forever I could in theory endure thousands of years of mediocrity for the right cause.

It must be what it feels like to be religious, yet mortal, and not care.

Not necessarily. I think death can be escaped by solving it with technology.

And maybe even space and time can be escaped too in some way.

Even using means I can imagine, the sun and earth are entirely controllable physical bodies that we will some day play with like toys.

Maybe I’m being overly naive, simplistic, lofty, or just human! Someone has to

I joke all the time where are the Renters Lives Matter signs?

The closest thing to modern slavery employed en masse is the work:rent game with ever changing values and conditions that always keep assets just out of reach haha. It’s cruel

> inb4 the closest thing to modern slavery is literal [forced labor] we use newspeak guys

And I know.

But still, it would be interesting to at least see real solutions of the world so much as being earnestly attempted rather than the constant charade.

> Johnson has stated the aims of the company are to reduce the biological age of his organs to that of an 18-year-old

I once read that we could in theory produce things like synthetic organs, but something like a synthetic liver would be the size of a 50,000 sqft factory requiring a full staff of chemists, would need a refinery complete with boilers, smokestacks, chemical waste facilities, and so-on for each individual person.

Think of kidney like a dialysis machine, or a heart like an advanced blood pump, lungs like aerators, muscles, bones - we can reverse-engineer most of it.

But there are still many mysteries in blood production, cellular function, digestion, hormones, genetics, and consciousness, to name a few areas.

It's humbling, we are at the very earliest stages of the biological sciences. But it's something nanotech and funding could chip away significantly at IMO in our lifetime, potentially solving many of the organ-related issues like diabetes, cirrhosis, cancer, and other things.

> if aging didn't seem just natural and the idea of a defeating it didn't seem a bit crazy

I can't imagine having this mentality

Of course aging is something we will solve - probably within the next 1000 years.

We will look back on these times like before humans wore clothes and had language.
