From 40 years old on people starts physically suffering (on average) 2. Pain is the biggest enemy of humans 3. We have to solve pain 4. End of life of a conscious intelligence system is the second biggest enemy 5. We have to solve aging and [[Death 💀]] ([[Senescence]] and invincibility) ## Don't start the train I'll explain, let say you have the opportunity to spawn a human being now. Option 1: you spawn it, cool, it will live Option 2: you don't, it does not live a subjective experience ([[Philosophy/Consciousness/Consciousness|consciousness]]), but it's acceptable because consciousness is a kind of inertia, stopping the train is bad, but if you don't start the train it's ok Does it follow that we should stop creating life until we solved death? I doubt of this logic, because we need these brains to solve [[Death 💀|Death]]. # External links
