Too late to explore the world, too early to explore the universe

You never know. We could be the last generation to have this high of a standard of living, as ecological collapse, global warming, and political unrest forces us back down to pre-industrial civilization.

mortality is a built-in feature here in our universe. in a couple hundred years there might be people that get to upload themselves to the cloud or something, but eventually the accelerating expansion of the universe will make everything fly apart faster than even wormhole tech can compensate for

That's assuming a big rip scenario, which isn't as likely as eventual heat death.

No, we are well in the timespan to receive in vivo cures for againg and cancer. I'd actually say we're among the last generations who will not be addicted to dopamine from simulation and next-gen drugs and will accordingly actually care enough about the material world to want to explore the stars.

This. Even if it was somehow possible to live forever, or to exist forever as a conscious entity, you could just not do it or kys or whatever. It's such a weird stance to take to not want to live forever. Well, just don't.
It seems like virtue signaling because it's some sort of normie meta to claim to not want to live forever. I guess it might just not be appealing to NPCs who are never interested in learning new things tho.

In the long run it's probably not a pipedream, but it won't be the immortality that many people are thinking about.
We will probably become able to completely replicate brains digitally. The question is how we will make available enough runtime for them, and how it will be split among them.
I (fortunately?) probably won't be around to experience that.

That is the wrong question to ask. The right one is:
- Do you want to get bored, make a party and ride the euthanasia coaster at 200, or get dementia and die at 80 after a few years of traumatizing your loved ones?
