It will take a true gigachad to embrace immortality. Dying is for loser cavemen.the impression I got from it was Kurzweil is so desperate to live forever that there's no line he's unwilling to cross to get there. If he could make himself a head in a jar like Futurama, he absolutely would. He seemed to think that were he born 10 years later, he might've been able to see a world of vastly extended lifespans, so he was desperately micromanaging his diet and exercise to get himself over the line.
I was a teenager when I watched it and looked forward to this idea of people living 100s of years, thinking it was very cool. One consequence of getting older that nobody warned me about was the loss of hopeful naïveté since these ideas now inspire dread and fear within me.
