Elon Musk: We need to be cautious about trying to solve longevity. Death brings renewal. “Death does play an important role. I think you really could evolve humans to live much longer, most creatures to live much longer. But over time, Evolution has found that it's better for organisms to have a finite life. That death brings renewal, essentially. And I think we do need to be cautious about trying to solve longevity in a live-forever type sense, because I think our society, our culture would ossify and the people in power would always remain in power.” Interview with Jordan Peterson, July 22, 2024 https://x.com/ElonClipsX/status/1955163168172372072
