OK. Forgive my modest research skills. I've certainly seen lots of posts that assume that indefinite lifespans are a good thing, but I had never seen any that made contrary claims or rebutted such claims. I would welcome pointers to the best such discussions. It was not intended as a rant.
My "On methusalahites" video attempts to explain the existence of those who prioritise living for a long time highly - which superficially appears to be a biological anomaly. Essentially, I invoke memetic hijacking.
