Maybe it is to you, but why living more would be preferable in itself? I don’t think this is true for the general population but why you want to live more? What’s the reason?
Perhaps I’m too young to speak on something like this but I think there’s something admirable about being able to ‘finish’ life (so-to-speak) which is to say, I like the idea of being able to complete all the projects I want to compete, see all the films I want to see, and read all the books I want to read.
That being said, I understand the importance of mortality in the selection of what you choose to do with your time and, for that reason, perhaps you’re right about longevity. Perhaps living forever is the glossy finish on a shallow epistemological notion.

So, I understand both sides of the argument.
