They have to live forever because they know the moment they die they are in hell forever.

Of course they want to live forever. You know where they will go after they die, right?

It is hard for us to fathom ( being normal and all ) but if u already have everything you've ever wanted ( money, power, etc ) what would be your next goal ? To Keep it Forever. At minimum keep it in the Family. This is of course if you're a psycho.

Something tells me a lot of Altered Carbon is closer to reality than science fiction.

Make plans and God laughs.

Mama Nature won’t let it happen.

Just like how Epstien wanted to seed the human race w his DNA on a Mexican Farm?

Bill Gates and others helping? Biden appointed another guy who was taking funds to “research” for Epstien to a top level position within government.

Tell me, would someone who has it all and all the means necessary to do whatever he wants, and clearly did whatever he wanted regardless of RULES N LAWS

Wait for the GREENLIGHT for experimentations regarding SEEDING THE HUMAN RACE W HIS DNA….

or does he simply set up shop like he did Epstien Satanic Ritual Abuse and Murder Temple Orgy Island

Yuval Noah Harari and those like him will live forever------it will be a place so dark you can feel it and forever in free fall. It is called the Bottomless Pit in my favorite book!

If only these idiots realized life eternal was already potentially theirs...

The only thing that would happen is that they'd keep trying to extend their lives, only to die of old age anyway, because nothing can stop that, and then one of two things will happen, either they still have something of value left, and it wakes up in the next stage of our existence, or they actually managed to be so sinful and iniquitous that there literally isn't anything there left to resurrect.

So by their own hand, trying to find a way to live eternally, they destroyed the chance of doing just that, and it had been given to them freely.

There must be at least a MILLION ways for humans to be 'like' our precious Lord God; being immortal is not one of them. I - for one - have no issue with death being a transformation into eternal life. God is God. I am not. I like it that way. So, let's see:

• Garden of Eden? Be like God by knowing the difference between good and evil? WRONG! Using their approach, they only succeeded in bringing evil into the world.

• Sweet Home allah-Babylon? Be like God by building right up to where He lives? Uhhh, no. What we've wound up with is what the Temptations warned us about, way back in the seventies, "Ball of Confusion"

• Der Nu Wherled Odur? Be like God by bringing EFFERY VUN into submission using the great reset? (Seig Heil, y'all!) Smells pretty vichy to me. God is forever free, fresh, clean, new and alive. So can we also be, in His eternal, loving arms - starting NOW. The WEF reeks of death eternal. Could anything be any LESS like God than Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus der Schwabbie-Dobbie, along with the Biden and Clinton criminal cartels? Have you ever heard ANY of these clowns uplifting the name of Jesus our Savior & Master?

• Seeking first the Kingdom of God? Be like God by doing our best to imitate His beloved Son? Loving God first and foremost and our neighbors as ourselves? We could do worse. As u/LanaForge has commented above: we have eternal life already. We can choose to reflect God and imitate Him and LEARN from Him and LOVE Him and be reunited with Him eternally. Or we can squander every energy and every possibility trying pointlessly to be (equal to) 'like God'.

Not the original lyrics... but: "Don't 'cha play the King of Diamonds, boy. He will beat you and he's able." "The King of Kings is always your best bet..." "It seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table." "Why do you only want the things that you can't get?"

it's just to lie forever

There can be only one Highlander. If we start finding elitist missing heads here and there we'll know their battle is on. Ironically the winner gets to be mortal again.

Crazy thought, what if they achieved it?

They better not depend on Green Energy to sustain their system.

I'm all for an indefinite lifespan, but NOT if it means transplanting my mind into a robot body. That bullshit needs to be left in dystopian science fiction,
