    If everyone were immortal, and no one needed to worry about resources, that would be awesome and pretending otherwise is the biggest cope.

      People have been coping for so long it’s practically a genre in literature. People are convincing themselves so hard that immortality is a curse, yet literally zero people have actually experienced it.

      Humanity’s sourest grapes.

      “The only problem about being immortal is that you need to drink blood, a set of ethical problems spanning a tetralogy”, so I haven’t really seen/read about the exact idea you’re talking about. Got any media where people actually say your kind of Immortality is bad?

        No, but I’ve argued with enough people IRL to know that my opinion isn’t exactly common. Most people who agree with me are my fellow transhumanists.
