Yeah, the main thing is not only to cure all diseases, but mainly aging which itself is considered a disease by many. Some creatures like the mentioned jellyfish have the ability to regenerate cells and replace the old ones therefore no aging and not only that but regenerate any body parts or damage they sustain(i.e Axolotls, salamanders etc).

I'm really hoping in the next few decades, I mean how amazing would be to stay here forever, we have too many shitty things to fix on this planet! And also, I want to see Capybaras become a global species which is everywhere like dogs and cats.

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.

Yeah exactly, on the bight side, we're very possibly only decades away from it! There is so much to be done on this planet for such a small lifespan.

And fuck yeah, Komodo Dragons are one of my favorites and one of the best creatures today along with Cassowary and Crocodiles, literal living dinosaurs!

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

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Exactly, we just need to wait until then.

Both are Archosaur/related and Komodos and monitor lizards are closely connected to Mosasaurus.
