been saying alot the last few weeks the biggest zeitgeist/disconnect in the long-bio space is folks motivated by fear of death vs love of life.

as you say those with love of life don’t actually seem to be out for biological immortality. more acceptance of personal death but rather focusing on a big problem that resonates with them.

fear of death crowds makes me weary because it more closely resembles an ideology that could be circumvented and abused- ex: EA crowd- moral mission hard to disagree with but used to justify shady behavior
