Crazy Larry Auster is at it again. After reading an article that speculated on what life expectancies might be fifty years from now, Auster dismisses any possibility that we would live much longer than we currently do. Why? Because we'll never have the technology? Because it isn't scientifically possible?
No, because, "a species does not create its own nature, its nature is given to it by something beyond itself, by that from which all being comes, with some species given a larger portion of being, some less. The notion that human life could be extended, not merely by a few tens of years, but by thousands of years, is a fantasy born of the rejection of transcendence, and the resulting desire to make man into his own god."
So apparently we can never control our own biology because only god can do that. I only hope Auster lives long enough to see how stupid his beliefs are.

I don't understand some people's desire to live forever.
Take for example those people who eat a calorie reduced diet because it's been shown in rats that they live an increased life span. Sure they live longer but they don't get to enjoy a fucking cheeseburger.
Will the quality of a person's life increase when they live longer or will extremely long lives lead to feelings of alienation as the culture passes you by? Get off my lawn you punk kids!
