I accept your precondition for engagement.
Perhaps we can start be debating the desirability of indefinitely long lifespans. If you want to broadly summarize your friend's position on the Open Thread, I'll take that position.
(I need practice arguing, because I often have conviction without identifiable or linearly structured reasons.)
Are you offering to argue for a position you do not sincerely hold? Because there are lots of people in the world who disagree with you about something if all you want is to practice arguing.
I suppose I was making some small gamble that I would be able to relate to the friend's position. Although this could bear some objective testing, I think that I am pretty flexible about what I can be sincere about. Also, I have some undeveloped ideas about this issue and I thought it would be interesting to develop them, in one direction or the other.
