I know! I'm glad that aging and death is being viewed as more of an affliction than something that is natural or inevitable, I hope that in a socialist society or on the pathway, aging could one day be permanently stalled or ended, and I think it's wonderful that scientists look into axolotls and salamanders and jellyfish for life extension methods.
Same, I think it's really shitty that up until now, life only lasts a few decades. I want to live for so long, that iron stars themselves begin to fizzle out.
I feel the same about Komodo Dragons.
That's why I'm going to try my best to stay alive and not do any stupid or dangerous shit, until the future treatments/methods for life extension become widely available and affordable. And in a socialist society, I can see the benefits fucking soaring, what with the total transformation of society.
You probably don't need me to tell you this, but crocodiles and komodos aren't Dinosaurs. They are definitely related, but birds are/were Dinosaurs
