Is that what you say has a non-zero probability?

I don't care to constrain the particulars of how "And I Must Scream" is defined saving that it be total anti-utility and it be without escape. Whatever particulars you care to imagine in order to aid in understanding this notion are sufficient.

I will add that I am strongly in the anti-"immortality" camp, as that word should not be used. I am in the anti-mortality camp, that's how I'd put it.

Please elaborate on your feelings regarding the problems of the word "immortality". I am agnostic as to your perceptions and have no internal clues to fill in that ignorance.

Just what Robin Hanson said.

Took me a couple of readings to get the gist of that article. Frankly, it's rather... well, I find myself reacting poorly to it.

After all -- is not "giving as many years as we can" the same, quantitatively, as saying that the goal is clinical immortality?
