>>10976630You are very wrong in many interesting ways. If you can't understand basic logic, you really shouldn't be discussing nuclear energy.
>survivalPeople don't want fusion to survive. They want it to get rich, to be higher in complex status networks that are independent of mortality. Your philosophy is fantastically ignorant: why did we bother inventing the car, the train, steam power? We don't need much to survive and yet we have a lot. Think about what you're saying for a few seconds.
Life extension is important. If we can stop telomeres unravelling, if we can cure genetic diseases and prevent mental illnesses, this will make us hugely richer and free up vast amounts of resources. Biological immortality is the simplest and probably easiest method. Mind-uploads are obviously more efficient, since you can copy as necessary but they don't come under the classical definition.
>My life isn't worth fusion tech.Well, congratulations on saying something true. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But immortality makes everything else easier, as does cheap fusion. More energy and more brainpower go together like peas in a pod.
