The fact that they are serious just shows how dumb they really are. We are not even close to that. The stress from that many transplants would probably reduce life expectancy. But let's just imagine it works, you would still have to deal with brain degeneration and dementia. These are not serious people. Can we please stop allowing arrogant psychopaths to take top positions of power

Have they ever met someone trying to live with an organ transplant? It's not like swapping out parts for a machine. Your immune system is permanently suppressed to prevent rejection so you are at risk for so many other problems, and even if you don't reject the organ, you will need another replacement eventually.
It's disturbing when you hear the idiot techbro billionaires fantasizing about engineering their own immortality, but it's really disappointing that the most powerful world leaders are also this detached from reality. All the most powerful people are utterly delusional sociopaths.
Honestly it's great to know they're struggling with their inevitable deaths. Got to sting a bit. They're headed for the same dirt they've sent so many people to.
They have a child's understanding of the concepts... which is not particularly surprising, you don't get to be a dictator by being well-educated, in fact it almost requires being shut off from as much knowledge as possible. They tend to be unable to hear the truth and basically force their underlings to gaslight them.
Some dictators have been well-educated. Mussolini and Stalin, to name two.
Old farts should sit in care homes, not ruling nations. Term limits and the same age cutoff as the regular blue collar worker and then go paint bad pictures on your ranch like W Bush.
I didn't think I'd ever get a very opinion of the latter, but here we go.
I don't object to old farts ruling nations. If they're elected or otherwise democratically chosen, so be it. It's just that there should be a term limit for everyone. 5 to 10 years top then you're out.
There should at least be a maximum age. Geriontocracy is just not normal.
Too old. Too young. Too black. Too effeminate.
Soon, a bunch of Chinese dissidents with the same blood type as Putin will be sentenced to death...
"Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 you are still a child," Xi told Putin according to the translator in Russian.
Hard to argue with that. Both of these cunts seem to lack any emotional intelligence whatsoever.
Yes! Please try tomorrow! It only hurts a little! Get corneal implants. Those heal right back! Get a big pig heart and lungs. Those really last!
leaders of two of the world's most technologically prominent countries muse on the prospects of transhumanism in front of a crowd of dozens
rabid disapproval from liberals who claim that Putin and Xi got caught on a hot mic wanting to live forever so they can rule eternally or something, idk
Seriously, the reading comprehension is abysmal in this thread. Can someone show me where Putin or Xi said they personally wished to live to 150?
two of the world’s most technologically prominent countries
Russia
LMFAO. lemmy.ml users just can't stop glazing autocracies, can they?
Show me where Putin or Xi expressed interest in living to 150.
Not even remotely related to the part I quoted and laughed at, but I'll humour you.
It's called deduction, you just need to use that gray matter of yours. Two, rather old, psychopaths muse about extending one's lifetime. Could it be that they themselves have a vested interest in this? No, that must be a conspiracy theory by filthy liberals.
Not even remotely related to the part I quoted and laughed at, but I'll humour you
So how does a claim regarding Russia's technological capabilities relate to my original comment? The only person being humoured here is you.
The way the healthy skepticism just leaves the liberal mind once a state department hit pieces comes out is laughable. You have been effortlessly oriented. Yall just eat this shit up. "Deduction"... lmao.
Again, maybe one day show me where Putin or Xi expressed interest in extending their lifespan. You won't.

Your original comment literally calls Russia one of the world's "most technologically prominent" country, stop trying to gaslight me.

Putin and Xi
Dog.....
My original claim was that in none of these articles is there any evidence of Putin or Xi expressing interesting in extending their lifespan.
It's a claim you still have yet to disprove, btw.
Claiming that Russia is not technologically advanced is a nonsequiter. Refusing to engage with a nonsequiter is not underhanded. And you're not humouring anyone by backing down from your attempt to turn this conversation into one about Russia's technological capabilities. You're just backpedaling.
Again, please show me where Putin or Xi expressed interest in extending their lives.
These 2 are not the kind of people that are known to care about unselfish things.
